ZKSynth is a Synthetics protocol where traders open leveraged, perpetual, or option positions priced off oracle feeds and settled in collateral held by the contract. It is deployed on Scroll. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

ZKSynth is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Scroll — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Pyth); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
