Synapse is a Cross Chain Bridge protocol that moves assets and messages between blockchains, locking value on the source chain and minting or releasing a representation on the destination. It is deployed across 19 chains, including Ethereum, Canto, Avalanche, Blast and 15 other chains. No public audit reports are listed on DeFiLlama for this protocol. DeFiLlama tracks 1 historical event for this protocol since 2022.

Synapse runs a multi-chain deployment, with smart contracts live on 19 networks. Roughly 92% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Ethereum, Canto, Avalanche), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. No public audit reports are linked from DeFiLlama for this protocol despite a non-trivial TVL — treat any deposit as carrying material smart-contract risk. Token market cap ($10.7M) and TVL ($17.3M) trade at a ratio of 0.62, in the range generally considered normal for an established DeFi protocol.
