Commons Chain
The flagship appchain of Syndicate Network serving as its staking hub
What is Commons Chain
Commons Chain is Syndicate Network's flagship appchain that serves as both a demonstration of the network's technology and the hub for community participation. Built using the Arbitrum Orbit stack and settling on Base, Commons Chain showcases how appchains can leverage custom gas tokens and programmable sequencing while providing essential network functions.
As the primary venue for SYND staking and emission distribution, Commons Chain plays a critical role in the network's economic model. All staking operations, from initial deposits through emission claims, occur on Commons Chain's dedicated infrastructure. The use of SYND as the native gas token eliminates the need for users to hold ETH or other tokens for transaction fees, simplifying the user experience while creating additional utility for SYND tokens.
Connection Details
Commons Chain operates as a Layer 3 blockchain settling on Base, accessible through standard Ethereum-compatible tools and wallets.
