The Sadr Release

Today, Feb 1st, the Sadr release will begin. There will be no downtime for this release. Here's what's included:

• SIP-293 - Deprecate Low Volume Synths - sAAVE, sLINK, sDOT, sADA, sMATIC, sUNI, sAVAX, sSOL

The following synths have been deprecated due to the low volume generated by these synths, alongside a drastic decrease in liquidity for the underlying assets from when these assets were initially listed. Synthetix Perps will soon support these markets and provide a much better experience for traders, with support for leverage, 5-10bps trading fees, and deep liquidity.

Users holding these spot synths can redeem these synths by following the directions below. Note - This release is still in progress, so synths can't be redeemed yet.

How to Redeem deprecated spot synths

• Visit https://etherscan.io/address/0xe533139Af961c9747356D947838c98451015e234#writeContract#F4 for L1 or https://optimistic.etherscan.io/address/0xA997BD647AEe62Ef03b41e6fBFAdaB43d8E57535#writeContract for L2 & connect your wallet

• You get the proxy (aka token) Address from https://github.com/Synthetixio/synthetix-docs/blob/master/content/addresses.md#mainnet for L1 (or https://github.com/Synthetixio/synthetix-docs/blob/master/content/addresses.md#mainnet-optimism-l2 for L2) In this example, sAAVE on L1 is 0xd2dF355C19471c8bd7D8A3aa27Ff4e26A21b4076
• Fill in the address for the token(s) you'd like to redeem - place a comma next to each (so 0xd2dF355C19471c8bd7D8A3aa27Ff4e26A21b4076, nextaddresshere)
• That's it. Once your transaction confirms, all of the deprecated spot synths will be redeemed for sUSD.
