Synapse Labs Pivots Away from Cortex to Onchain Options
Synapse Labs disclosed that it is shifting its focus away from bridging (Synapse) and onchain AI (Cortex) to build Hypercall, an onchain options venue for assets on Hyperliquid 1. The team concluded that "the opportunity to build a structurally profitable bridging business doesn't exist," and attributed Cortex's lack of adoption to "bad timing," while noting it does not believe AI trading is a dead market 1. Importantly, the team stated that CX will remain "indefinitely convertible" into SYN, and that Hypercall will be governed by SYN 1. This is a significant strategic shift for holders, as the team also indicated it plans to submit governance proposals for "rather generous" team compensation tied to milestones, and recommends the DAO commit revenue to token buybacks and liquidity provider rebates 1.
Biggest Stories of 2025
-
Synapse Labs announced a strategic shift away from Cortex, moving focus to Hypercall, an onchain options venue on Hyperliquid, while committing that CX remains indefinitely convertible into SYN and that Hypercall will be governed by SYN. This remains the most consequential development for Cortex holders, as it signals a deprioritization of the AI trading thesis. (November 24, 2025) 1
-
Cortex Labs updated its token allocation, extending the lock period for "Core Contributors" and "Ecosystem & Growth" allocations from six months to one year, and committing to quarterly reports on the Ecosystem and Growth Fund to increase accountability and transparency. (September 10, 2025) 2
-
Cortex Intelligent Accounts launched, allowing users to track, manage, and trade portfolios using AI insights. This was a core product release advancing the project's AI-powered portfolio management functionality. (April 23, 2025) 3
-
Synapse governance was transferred to the Cortex DAO, with all Synapse features and governance moving under Cortex following the initiation of the SYN-to-CX token migration. This consolidated the two protocols under a single governance structure. (April 3, 2025) 4
-
Cortex integrated 0x v2 with smart routing, enhancing the protocol's trade routing capabilities within its smart routing system. (April 1, 2025) 5
-
Synapse Intent Network added support for Hyperliquid, expanding the network's cross-chain intent capabilities to the Hyperliquid ecosystem. (March 31, 2025) 6
-
Cortex announced a ParaSwap integration within the Cortex UI, adding another swap routing option for users directly in the interface. (March 28, 2025) 7
Note: No developments specific to Cortex Protocol were identified within the past 7 days or the past 30 days, so the "Currently Interesting" and "Get Caught Up" sections covering those windows could not be populated with project-specific items. The "Get Caught Up" section above reflects the most recent material development available.
