!!! On the 8th of May 2018 we will perform a blockchain transfer from the old chain to the new one. Syndicate will be upgrading to a new Proof-of-Stake 3.0 with Masternode consensus mechanism and blockchain. Your existing SYNX coins will be mapped 1:1 on the new chain if you will hold your coins in your wallet or on Bittrex exchange, at the swap date.

Note: Bittrex will be closing the SYNX wallet and stop trading the token to take accurate snapshots of balances. If any SYNX you had sent to Bittrex are not settled (e.g. marked as pending) by 6:00 PM PT, on 05/08/2018 (1:00 AM on 05/09/2018 UTC), you may not be credited with SYNX.

Bittrex Announcement: https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002686551-Support-for-the-Syndicate-SYNX-blockchain-upgrade

We have requested SYNX wallet to be placed in maintenance until the day swap for security reasons. There is no need to contact the Bittrex team as this was requested by our developers. Also, we would like to kindly thank Bittrex team for working closely with us as we upgrade to Synx 2.0

We have received an email from Cryptopia and they won't support our swap. SYNX will be put into the delisting state and users will have 1 month from that date to withdraw before it is removed from the exchange. We are thinking to apply for a new listing on their exchange after swap. The new chain is already running and we created 250k SYNX to maintain the network alive. Those coins will be used for additional exchange listings and marketing.

Reasoning for the Swap:

- Current code base is very outdated and crucial updates can not be supported by it
- The network does not behave the way it should due to the fast rewards from MN
- To move forward with our Business Platform we need a fresh code base with no network issues

The new SYNX specification:

Block Time: 60 Seconds (Re-targeting every block)
Block Maturity: 101 blocks
Minimum Stake age: 3 hours
Block reward: 10 SYNX
Masternode collateral: 5000 SYNX

Syndicate has Seesaw Reward Balance System that dynamically adjusts its block reward size between masternodes and staking nodes. The higher the masternode count, the smaller the reward portion of each PoS block that will be paid out to the masternodes and the larger the reward portion for staking nodes. Conversely, when the masternode count falls, the masternode reward portion is increased and the staking node reward portion decreased.

We are preparing updated guides for users to set up trustless proof of stake transactions and masternodes.
