It is common knowledge that Greg, Synereo's CSO, is leading the design of Casper, Ethereum's new proposed Proof of Stake blockchain:

Ethereum has provided Synereo with developer grants for this purpose. Hopefully, collaboration will continue in other ways as well.
We also believe that our notion of a "smart contract", which we call a social contract, is more advanced, mature and scalable than anyone else's. People in the industry are starting to get a sense of this as well, including our friends at Ethereum.

Feel free to ask any other question about this here or on our slack channel at

It seems like the market is misaligned when Synereo is trading at such a discount to Ethereum, but Synereo has at least equal or greater brainpower behind it.
