# What is Solid Sync ?

Solid Sync is a decentralized exchange and automated market maker built on the principles of Solidity. It operates on the zkSync blockchain, which enables decentralized token trading through a mathematical algorithm that generates a market for each token. Unlike traditional exchanges that use order books, Solid Sync allows users to trade directly with the platform's liquidity pool.

Solid Sync embraces the collaborative model championed by Andre Cronje, creator of Solidity and Yearn Finance. However, it also implements a unique feature: a dilution protection mechanism capped at 20% during the evaluation period. This safeguard prevents users who hold Solid Sync's native token ($SYN) from experiencing excessive dilution during the early stages of the project.

## Solid Sync Core Tenets:

Solid Sync aims to revitalize three fundamental tenets: Community, Decentralization, and Functionality.

Community is a top priority for Solid Sync, which plans to launch with a strong focus on the wider ecosystem. The platform will offer veNFTs to top protocols on zkSync, enabling them to manage their positions in the best interest of their platforms.

Decentralization is another core tenet of Solid Sync, as the platform strives to be as fully decentralized as possible while still maintaining functionality. The platform will have a council of trusted entities from the wider community to act in emergency situations.

Functionality is a key feature of Solid Sync, which incorporates some of the best features implemented in DEXes to date. The platform's functionality is tied to the innovations and underlying value that Solid Sync provides, making it a versatile and valuable platform for users.
