Synthetic assets can be stocks, tokens, indices, NFTs, or other financial products and are produced to mimic the original asset, typically in the form of its price. For example, a synthetic asset of a stock would mimic the price fluctuations of the stock, while a synthetic asset of a token would mimic the price fluctuations of the token. ### Mirrored Assets A subset of synthetic assets. Mirrored assets are synthetic assets that mirror existing assets in the market place, including crypto and traditional financial assets. ### Defi Derivatives Financial derivatives in DeFi. An all encompassing term for all potential derivative contracts that exists or can exist in the DeFi environment. \------- If you have any other terms you would like us to clarify, please let us know by emailing us at: . --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
