For years, web3 promised community ownership. But under the hood, most networks still left core control—sequencing, economics, infrastructure—in the hands of centralized providers. Communities were tenants, not owners. Today that changes.

Syndicate Mainnet is the sequencing backbone of the Syndicate Network—a dedicated L2 where all appchain sequencing logic lives onchain as smart contracts (“Smart Sequencers”). It runs behind the scenes, processing transactions and enforcing programmable ordering rules.

At its core, Syndicate Mainnet is designed from the ground up to make communities and developers the true owners of their infrastructure. They pick the providers, and define the rules—free from lock-in. No single point of control or centralized party who can change the rules.

Syndicate Mainnet takes ownership deeper. Developers and their tokenized communities now have full control over the sequencer, network, and economy. They can define custom ordering logic, governance, fee flows, and MEV policies directly in smart contracts.

Every network also needs a settlement layer. For many that’s @base for its shared liquidity, massive distribution, and active developer community. But you can choose any Ethereum Mainnet, @Arbitrum One, or anything other EVM chain.

Key features of Syndicate Mainnet: –– Built with @Arbitrum Nitro –– 250ms block times –– @eigen_da for throughput –– Fast withdrawals (~1 hour via TEEs & zkVMs) –– Smart Sequencers run as smart contracts –– Supported by Syndicate and @Alchemy, with plans for self-hosting soon

Syndicate Mainnet's economic design is community-aligned from the start. All profits from the Syndicate Network flow into its DUNA and community-owned treasury. These fees can be recycled into gas subsidies, redistributed to appchains, or used to fund grants and infrastructure.

Staking and emissions extend this alignment. Stakers earn more rewards when the appchains they support thrive. Appchains attract more emissions as they gain stake and usage. And stakers are incentivized to use the very networks they back.

Together, these mechanisms ensure participation directly shapes how Syndicate Mainnet evolves. Developers and their communities gain not just infrastructure to build on, but real ownership and control over how that infrastructure grows. This is the community-owned internet.

any airdrop to NFT holders?

Congrats guys 🫡

❤️

Fuck how about early user?

power shift unlocked

Community-aligned economics + full control over appchains = the way crypto was meant to be

Vendor lock-in is dead, long live community ownership! This is the kind of internet evolution we've all been hoping for. Big moves!

Any chance Base will move from coinbase sequencer to using a decentralized sequencer via syndicate

nice

game changer

When does the token get liquidity??

Airdrop?

congrats syndicate team, gamechanging dev sovereignty just dropped 🚀

That's pretty cool, giving devs more control. Can't wait to see what happens!
