L2.Synthetix.Exchange OVM demo results
The L2.Synthetix.Exchange demo on Optimism’s OVM is now complete and the winners of the trading competition are in! Over 50,000 SNX will be distributed among the top 20 traders who achieved the highest gains with the 100,000 OVM sUSD given to each trader to test the supercharged, high-speed Ethereum transactions.
Synthetix Discord veteran and self-described “Twitter Influenza”, @DegenSparten, says:
"Trading on L2 was just as snappy as any CEX. If people give it a chance, I don't think many would want to use CEXes again!"
