In other news, SNX Stackathon has just begun, where SNX holders can earn weekly SNX rewards and prizes on Infinex. Synthetix and Infinex have teamed up for this campaign, where Infinex users who deposit or “swidge” (swap or bridge) SNX tokens starting April 7th are eligible for weekly rewards. The campaign is part of a lead-up to the launch of SNX staking on Infinex’s “Earn” page.

This rewards program will run for 6 weeks, and a total of 10,000 SNX will be distributed every week. Users will earn a pro-rata share of this, depending on how much SNX you have deposited. And the reward rate will change based on the total value locked (TVL) in the campaign.

The rewards are estimated to be:

At 1M SNX deposits: 52% APRAt 2M SNX deposits: 26% APRAt 5M SNX deposits: 10% APR

But you can follow the current total SNX deposits through the Infinex TVL dashboard.

On top of weekly rewards, there will be a weekly raffle with prizes for SNX holders, where you get 1 raffle entry for every 500 SNX in your Infinex account. So the more SNX you hold, the better your chances! The prizes will be:

1st & 2nd winners: 1 Patron (likely a special or VIP reward)3rd winner: 1 ETH4th winner: 2,000 SNX5th winner: 1,000 SNX

To participate all you have to do is create an Infinex account if you haven’t already, and deposit or swidge SNX to start earning rewards and enter the weekly prize pool.

Next, Synthetix announced that the first phase of solo staking deprecation has begun. This means that everyone is getting migrated to V3. If you’re staked on V2X, don’t worry, your SNX hasn’t disappeared. You can still find your position at https://liquidity.synthetix.io/.

Liquidations below 160% will continue to take place, and as previously mentioned, the c-ratio will start increasing this week to force-liquidate solo staking positions. Those who are force liquidated above 160% will be able to recover their position (SNX + Debt) over the next 6 months.

Lastly, for a quick update from our partners at Mass, you can now earn $MASS token by trading Synthetix Perps V3 on Mass. Download the app and start earning!
