Synthetix Partners Infinex for sUSD Rewards Program Boosting DeFi Engagement

Synthetix has announced a strategic partnership with Infinex to introduce a new rewards program for sUSD deposits, commencing on May 23, 2025, and running for six weeks. This collaboration aims to bolster the utility and engagement of sUSD within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, potentially influencing liquidity and protocol usage across the Optimism ecosystem.

The rewards program will distribute 12,000 OP tokens weekly to users who deposit sUSD, marking a continued effort to enhance the utility and engagement of sUSD within the DeFi space. This initiative is expected to draw more users to sUSD and Infinex, potentially increasing transactional activity and reflecting the Layer 2 assets utilized.

Industry experts have noted that participation in the program could offer substantial financial benefits, closely mirroring historical sUSD and Infinex engagement spikes. The incentives are designed to attract user interest and activity, highlighting the potential financial benefits alongside historical engagement spikes.

Building on past reward initiatives, this program is reminiscent of previous sUSD and Infinex campaigns that successfully drove Total Value Locked (TVL) growth in the Synthetix ecosystem. Experts have noted that the program is likely to boost sUSD and SNX visibility once more, fueling increased adherence to strategies driving user engagement and DeFi protocol strength.
