SynFutures Enters a New Era: From Perps DEX to Full-Stack Onchain Finance Infrastructure
SynFutures, once known primarily as a leading onchain perps DEX, is evolving into something much bigger β a full-stack modular finance infrastructure thatβs now powering the next generation of onchain trading platforms.
After surpassing $275 billion in cumulative trading volume, SynFutures is doubling down on its mission to bring speed, scalability, and customization to the DeFi ecosystem. This transformation opens the door for developers to build entirely new finance apps on top of SynFuturesβ robust, chain-agnostic foundation β and theyβre already doing it.
A New Frontier: SynFutures Builder Program
At the core of this expansion is the SynFutures Builder Program, which offers dedicated teams up to $50,000 in grants, along with access to liquidity engines, frontend templates, and strategic guidance. Projects built on SynFutures infrastructure wonβt just launch faster β theyβll become part of a growing ecosystem that feeds back into itself via protocol-level revenue sharing and $F token buybacks.
This ecosystem design creates a flywheel: the more apps built using SynFutures, the more fee flows return to SynFutures, driving sustained demand and buybacks for $F β the native token at the heart of this ecosystem.
Powered by SynF: Monday Trade Goes Live on Monad Testnet
The first proof of concept is already live. Monday Trade (@MondayTrade_), a spot DEX built on Monad and powered by SynFutures infra, is now live on testnet. More than just another DEX, Monday Trade brings CEX-like performance to DeFi by combining AMM and orderbook models in one sleek UI.
Why choose Monday Trade?
Tighter spreads and better liquidity for fast, low-slippage trades
Market and limit order support, giving traders more precision
Liquidity provision options to passively earn
Optimized UX for institutional-style trading
Under the hood, it leverages Monadβs performance edge β 10k TPS, 500ms block times, near-zero gas, full EVM compatibility, and true decentralization β making it a strong contender for the next-generation trading standard.
Itβs fully integrated with wallets like Phantom, Rabby, WalletConnect, Backpack, and MetaMask. Monday Trade is currently gated via access codes, available through community partners such as Real Nads Club, NadDomains, Moyaking, monks_xyz, and Monad OGs like @0xChine and @0xtunad. Access codes are also being distributed via the official Discord.
Early testers have a shot at OG status. The first 100 users to test the platform, share meaningful feedback on Discord, and trade on the testnet will earn the MoLegend role and share in a 1,000 $MON reward pool.

Real-Time Onchain Trading With Flashblocks on Base
SynFutures is also pioneering the next leap in onchain UX via Baseβs Flashblocks, which enable 200ms preconfirmations β a 10x improvement from current block times. SynFutures will be among the first derivatives protocols to go live with this upgrade, bringing sub-second trading to onchain users.
With Flashblocks, SynFuturesβ unique orderbook + AMM hybrid model will reach real-time execution, narrowing the UX gap between CEXs and DeFi for good.
Unlocking the $F Token Flywheel
With infrastructure-level revenue-sharing built into the SynFutures Builder Program, builders like Monday Trade send a portion of their trading fees back to SynFutures. That revenue then flows into ongoing $F token buybacks, strengthening token utility and aligning incentives across the ecosystem.
The result? A network of modular, high-performance trading platforms that all reinforce $F β creating a value loop between builders and token holders.
$F Expands to Binance Alpha
In another major milestone, SynFutures has announced the listing of $F on Binance Alpha, marking a new chapter in the tokenβs journey. Trading will go live on June 15, 2025 at 8:00 UTC with the F/USDC pair available via Binance Wallet (Keyless) and Binance Alpha.
To celebrate the listing, Binance Wallet is launching a SynFutures Trading Competition with a 49.27M $F prize pool (~$550K) to be equally distributed among the top 6,940 participants, each receiving 7,100 $F.
Competition Details:
Period: June 15 β June 29, 2025 (8:00 UTC)
Eligibility: Trade $F via Binance Wallet or Binance Alpha
Volume Count: Purchase volume only (sells excluded)
Requirements: Verified Binance account with an active wallet
Reward Distribution: By July 13, 2025 at 16:00 UTC
Note: Bridging transactions excluded; dishonest behavior may result in disqualification
