Blockchain Networks
Synclear’s smart contracts are deployed across Ethereum Mainnet and select EVM-compatible L2 networks. Network selection is driven by security guarantees, liquidity depth, and gas cost considerations relevant to credit protocol operations.Ethereum Mainnet
Ethereum serves as Synclear’s primary settlement and contract deployment network. Core protocol contracts — including the CreditPoolFactory, MandateRegistry, and TrustScorer — are deployed on Ethereum Mainnet. Ethereum’s finality guarantees and broad institutional familiarity make it the default network for high-value credit operations.Role: Primary settlement layer, core contract deployment, governance anchor.Considerations: Higher gas costs relative to L2s; recommended for large-denomination transactions where gas cost is a small proportion of transaction value.
Base & Arbitrum
Synclear maintains deployments on Base (an OP Stack L2 by Coinbase) and Arbitrum One (an Optimistic rollup by Offchain Labs). These networks offer significantly lower transaction costs and are used for high-frequency protocol operations, vault interactions, and borrower activity where gas efficiency is material.Role: Cost-efficient transaction execution, secondary deployment environments, expanded user accessibility.Considerations: Bridge latency and withdrawal periods apply when moving assets between L2s and Mainnet. Security inherits from Ethereum with rollup-specific trust assumptions.
Oracle Providers
Chainlink
Chainlink Data Feeds provide the primary price oracle layer for Synclear’s collateral valuation, LTV monitoring, and liquidation trigger mechanisms. Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network aggregates data from multiple independent node operators and data sources, providing manipulation-resistant price feeds for supported assets.Used for: Collateral asset pricing, LTV ratio calculation, liquidation threshold monitoring.Coverage: ETH, BTC, stablecoins, and select ERC-20 assets. Feed availability per asset is documented in the app.
Pyth Network
Pyth Network serves as a supplemental oracle source for assets and price feeds where Chainlink coverage is unavailable or where low-latency pricing is required for specific protocol operations. Pyth’s pull-based model enables on-demand price updates with sub-second latency.Used for: Supplemental asset pricing, latency-sensitive collateral monitoring operations.Note: Pyth feeds are used selectively; Chainlink remains the primary source for all assets where both feeds are available.
Custody Providers
Institutional Custodians
Synclear partners with regulated institutional custodians for the safekeeping of assets that pass through off-chain custody legs of the protocol — including KYB-verified borrower collateral held in segregated accounts and institutional lender deposits during settlement windows.Custody partners are qualified custodians under applicable regulatory frameworks and maintain crime, cyber, and fidelity insurance. Specific custodian identities are disclosed to institutional participants during the onboarding process under NDA where required.Role: Off-chain asset safekeeping, collateral segregation, settlement facilitation.
MPC & Smart Contract Custody
On-chain asset custody within Synclear’s credit pools and vaults is managed entirely by audited smart contracts. No admin key or multisig holds user funds in the standard protocol flow. For governance-sensitive operations, a time-locked multisig with publicly disclosed signers is used.Multi-party computation (MPC) key management is utilized in institutional custody flows to eliminate single points of key failure.Role: On-chain fund custody, governance operation security, institutional key management.
Compliance & KYB Partners
Identity & KYB Verification
Synclear integrates with regulated identity verification and KYB (Know Your Business) providers to onboard institutional borrowers, lenders, and mandate operators. Verification covers entity identity, beneficial ownership, sanctions screening, and PEP checks.All participants accessing credit facilities or institutional vault products must complete KYB. Compliance provider integrations are updated to reflect current regulatory requirements across supported jurisdictions.Role: Entity onboarding, sanctions screening, beneficial ownership verification, ongoing compliance monitoring.
Sanctions & Transaction Screening
Real-time on-chain transaction screening is applied at the protocol level to flag and block interactions from sanctioned addresses. Synclear integrates with blockchain analytics providers for address-level risk scoring and sanctions list monitoring (OFAC, EU, UN lists).Role: Transaction-level compliance, sanctioned address blocking, AML monitoring for on-chain activity.
Node & RPC Infrastructure
RPC Providers
Synclear’s front-end and backend services connect to blockchain networks via enterprise-grade RPC providers with high availability SLAs. Multiple provider redundancy is maintained to ensure uptime during periods of network congestion or provider-specific outages.Role: Reliable transaction submission, event indexing, contract state reads for the app and API.Redundancy: Primary and fallback RPC endpoints are configured for each supported network.
Indexing & Data Infrastructure
Protocol event data — credit pool state, vault balances, liquidation events, mandate activity — is indexed using subgraph infrastructure and served via a dedicated Synclear data API. This powers the app dashboard, analytics, and third-party integrations.Role: On-chain event indexing, historical data serving, analytics infrastructure.
