Getting Started With Synthetix

Updated today

You can access Synthetix directly inside your Infinex account - no extra wallets or apps needed. This makes it simple to stake SNX or sUSD and earn protocol rewards, all in the one place.


Driving these rewards is the 420 Pool, a protocol-managed fund that distributes millions of SNX in incentives to users who stake. By joining the pool, your stake is combined with others to earn yield from both the Synthetix protocol and external DeFi integrations. Your rewards are proportional to the amount you stake.


How to Access Synthetix

  1. In your Infinex Account go to Labs

  2. Launch Synthetix

    Click Launch under the Synthetix section to open the Synthetix interface

  3. Confirm Wallet Connection

    Your Infinex Wallet will automatically connect. Check the top-right corner for the Infinex logo and your username to verify you’re linked.

Track Your Positions & Rewards

Once staked, your positions will be visible on:

The Synthetix Interface

Your Infinex Wallet

⚠️ Note:

Your Infinex Portfolio will currently only show the staked amount - it does not reflect any earned rewards. This is a known issue, and our team is working on a fix. In the meantime, you can view your rewards on the Synthetix Interface.

Unstaking with Synthetix

Unstaking depends on the protocol’s lock periods:

  • SNX – You can unstake after the 7-day minimum. Once you initiate unstaking, wait 24 hours before claiming.

  • sUSD – Funds are locked until April 20, 2026.

You’ll be able to claim rewards only once the lock period ends.
