Project Overview
Syndicate is an appchain infrastructure. With Syndicate, developers can easily build custom application-specific blockchains (appchains) with programmable, atomically composable, onchain sequencers. Using Syndicate, developers can also build custom transaction ordering rules, enshrined protocols, and economic systems where value flows directly back to their tokenized communities onchain. Previously, Syndicate was a decentralized investment protocol and social network that would enable the community to raise, coordinate and invest in capital.
