Welcome to Horizon Protocol, a decentralized derivatives trading & liquidity protocol with the mission of creating accessibility to the real world economy through synthetic assets.
Horizon Protocol is a decentralized derivatives trading and liquidity protocol that provides decentralized access to the real-world economy through synthetic assets. Through Horizon Protocol, users can access swaps and perpetual futures of RWA (real-world assets), including, fiat (i.e. USD, EUR, JPY, etc.), and commodities (i.e. gold, silver, etc.).
With a peer-to-pool model where a counter-party is not required for trading, Horizon Protocol can offer DeFi traders low fees, deep liquidity, and zero slippage when trading borderless synthetic assets. Horizon Protocol sets itself apart with a strong focus on seamless UI/UX and educational content to help the community understand the power of DeFi derivatives.
Horizon Protocol’s suite of apps that support the protocol include:
Horizon Futures: Perpetual Futures Exchange
Horizon Exchange: Swaps for Spot Trading
Horizon Stake: Liquidity Staking w/ Rewards
Forked from Synthetix, Horizon Protocol leverages the time-tested derivative liquidity protocol and brings interoperability, scalability and a whole new array of tradable, real-world derivative products to the DeFi ecosystem. Horizon Protocol is seamlessly integrated into BNB Chain's dApp ecosystem, as it is native to this blockchain.

Horizon Protocol is a decentralized finance project (DeFi) on the BNB Chain with the mission of creating a borderless financial market for synthetic assets.
The Horizon Protocol Ecosystem consists of two main components:
Stake, for creating synthetic assets, and
Trade (Spot/Futures), for trading synthetic assets.
To get started with Horizon Protocol, you can do two things: “Stake” and “Trade”.
Stake, by staking and providing collateral to the protocol, which will earn you rewards.
Or Trade ( Spot / Futures), where you engage in synthetic assets trading, including long and short positions.
