Synapse allows users to send tokens from one chain to another almost immediately by using AMMs deployed across 16+ EVM and non-EVM blockchains. 

Synapse is a cross-chain liquidity network that enables fully non-custodial transfers between EVM and non-EVM compatible chains and L2 systems. Synapse was launched in 2021.

SYN tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the transaction fees paid by the users (revenue). Synapse’s investors include CMS Holdings, Alameda Research, Primitive Ventures, etc.

# Synapse Maximum token supply Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Synapse maximum token supply metric represents the theoretical maximum number of tokens that can ever exist for the Synapse protocol. This is a static reference value defined by the protocol's tokenomics design rather than a calculated metric from blockchain activity. The metric answers the question: "What is the upper limit of tokens that can be minted for the Synapse protocol?" The value is constant at 250,000,000 tokens and has remained unchanged since the token launch on August 28, 2021.

## 2. Data sources

This metric relies on protocol specification data rather than blockchain event data:
- **Protocol documentation**: Official Synapse tokenomics specifications defining the maximum token supply
- **Token contract specifications**: Smart contract parameters that establish the supply ceiling
- **Token launch information**: Historical records establishing the token launch date of August 28, 2021

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Maximum supply definition
- **Purpose**: Establish the hardcoded maximum token supply value and launch date
- **Logic**: The calculation sets three static values: the launch timestamp as August 28, 2021 at midnight UTC, the reporting time grain as daily, and the maximum token supply as exactly 250,000,000 tokens. These values are predetermined by the protocol's token economic design and do not change over time.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` set to the launch date, `timestamp_grain` set to 'day' for daily reporting, and `token_supply_maximum` set to the fixed value of 250,000,000

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: No combination of multiple components is required since this is a single static value
- **Currency conversion**: No currency conversion is performed as this metric represents token quantity, not monetary value
- **Time aggregation**: The metric applies a forward-fill strategy, meaning the same maximum supply value of 250,000,000 is reported for every day since the August 28, 2021 launch date
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is simply the static maximum supply of 250,000,000 tokens, extended across all dates since launch using the forward-fill methodology
