Honest answers

Clear answers about what The Syndicate is, what SYN is not, and how the public experiment works.

Q01
What is The Syndicate?

A transparent public experiment in onchain membership, archive identity, and shared Vault monitoring. Members join with USDC and receive SYN utility tokens.

Q02
Is this an investment?

No. SYN is not equity, debt, dividends, or Vault ownership. It is utility access for rank, archive identity, and participation.

Q03
Can I lose money?

Yes. Participation may result in total loss of contributed value. Only join if you understand the risks.

Q04
Why can people join from $5?

The Syndicate is an open membership experiment. Anyone should be able to enter the Archive — not just large buyers.

Q05
What is SYN?

A utility token representing membership rank, archive identity, governance participation, and access to future Syndicate experiences.

Q06
Do members own the Vault?

No. The Vault is an ecosystem resource. SYN does not represent ownership of Vault assets.

Q07
Are there dividends?

No. There is no dividend, no passive income, and no guaranteed return.

Q08
What happens to USDC paid by members?

70% reinforces the Vault, 20% strengthens liquidity, 10% funds operations and community. Every flow is intended to be publicly verifiable onchain.

Q09
Can I buy a custom amount?

Yes. The simulator accepts any USDC amount. Official Citizen entry starts at $5.

Q10
What is a Founder Number?

A permanent archive ID assigned in join order. The first members carry the lowest numbers, forever.

Q11
What is Compounder Score?

A reputation metric that grows with participation, holding duration, governance activity, and rank multiplier — not just contribution size.

Q12
Can larger members get cheaper tokens?

No. Same fixed rate for everyone: 1 SYN = $0.01 USDC. Bigger amounts unlock status and score multiplier — never bonus tokens.

Q13
Why use demo data now?

The project is in V1 design phase. Demo data lets coders, designers, investors, and AI builders understand the product before contracts go live.

Q14
What becomes verifiable after launch?

Vault wallets, SYN balances, NFT mints, governance votes, member onboarding receipts, and every Vault movement.

Q15
Is SYN live?

Yes. SYN is deployed on Avalanche C-Chain at 0xC1Cf19a52603c1F71C057BDE71d723CFa2fB0170 and verifiable on Avascan, Sourcify, and Routescan.

Q16
Can I buy SYN through the website now?

Yes. The Membership Sale contract is live on Avalanche. Go to /join, approve USDC, and buy SYN at the fixed rate of 1 SYN = $0.01 USDC. Minimum entry is $5.

Q17
Where will website buyer SYN come from?

From the Membership Distribution & Achievements wallet (0x975a…Cec8), which holds 350,000,000 SYN (35% of total supply). The Sale contract pulls SYN from this allocation.

Q18
Where does my USDC go?

70% to the Vault Wallet, 20% to the Liquidity Wallet, 10% to the Operations Wallet — split inside the Membership Sale contract on every purchase.

Q19
Where can I trade SYN?

On Trader Joe, in the live SYN/USDC pool (0xe124…9389) on Avalanche C-Chain.

Q20
What is the SYN/USDC LP pool?

The first official liquidity pool for SYN. It is a Trader Joe classic AMM pair (JLP) — not Liquidity Book / DLMM. Initial liquidity was 200 SYN + 2 USDC at $0.01.

Q21
Is this Trader Joe Liquidity Book?

No. The current pool is classic AMM / JLP. Reserves are read from the pair contract via getReserves().

Q22
How is SYN price calculated?

Implied price = USDC reserve ÷ SYN reserve, read live from the pool. Initial price was $0.01.

Q23
Why is liquidity small?

It is an initial verification pool. Liquidity depth may increase progressively as the Liquidity wallet (which receives 20% of all USDC) is deployed into the pool.

Q24
How do I add liquidity?

Open the pool on Trader Joe and add equal-value SYN and USDC. Larger deposits keep the price near $0.01. Be aware of impermanent loss.

Q25
Are LP providers guaranteed rewards?

No. Future recognition (LP badges, leaderboard, governance boost, Genesis NFT eligibility) is PLANNED but nothing is guaranteed.

Q26
What risks do LP providers face?

Impermanent loss, price movement, smart contract risk, low-liquidity slippage, and total loss. Providing liquidity is risky.

Q27
Is the token mintable?

No. SYN is fixed supply. There is no mint function.

Q28
Can the owner change the token?

No. The ERC20 contract has no owner and no admin. It is non-upgradeable.

Q29
Is there a tax?

No. SYN has 0% transfer tax.

Q30
Can transfers be blocked?

No. There is no blacklist, no whitelist, no pause, no max wallet, no max tx, and no transfer restrictions.

SYN is an experimental utility membership token. It is not equity, debt, Vault ownership, a dividend instrument, or a promise of profit. Participation may result in total loss. Everything is designed to become public and verifiable onchain after launch.
