Listing New Synths
The process for adding new Synths to Synthetix is based on demand, liquidity, and volatility. All markets must be approved by Synthetix Governance through a SIP and a subsequent SCCP to configure variables. Additionally, data feeds from Pyth and Chainlink are necessary for any proposed assets to be considered for inclusion.
