Synapse is a universal interoperability protocol that enables secure cross-chain communication, aiming to enhance compatibility between blockchains by facilitating efficient asset transfers across different networks. Synapse connects blockchains by providing a scalable cross-chain messaging protocol that supports assets, smart contract invocations, and more. With Synapse, blockchains can seamlessly and securely interact with each other, allowing developers to build true cross-chain applications, including cross-chain DEXs, lending platforms, margin systems, derivative markets, yield aggregators, and more.

The Synapse protocol is built on Ethereum's optimistic rollup and offers a set of scalable smart contracts. Synapse supports multiple EVM-compatible blockchains and integrates with nearly 18 Layer 1 and Layer 2 chains, including Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Harmony, Avalanche, Polygon, Moonbeam, Fantom, and BNB Chain.

Developers can leverage these contracts to build truly native cross-chain applications. Applications no longer need to be deployed separately across multiple blockchains but can be deployed on a single chain and communicate with others. Synapse provides interoperability support between each blockchain implementation, whether it's the overall base layer, rollups, or application-specific chains. Applications built using the Synapse Bridge protocol enable users to exchange assets between the most widely used EVM and non-EVM compatible blockchains. Synapse boasts the deepest cross-chain liquidity among all other interoperability solutions currently available.
