Synthetix (SNX), a renowned decentralized finance protocol, has announced its decision to discontinue support for its unlimited futures market on Arbitrum. Instead, it will concentrate its efforts on Coinbase's layer-2 network, Base. Consequently, the opening of new positions on the Arbitrum-based market will be halted and support for the stablecoin USDx will cease. However, to facilitate a smooth transition, Synthetix will provide incentives for transferring positions from Arbitrum to Base. This move by Synthetix signifies a shift in focus toward Coinbase's Layer-2 network. It remains to be seen how this strategic change will impact the wider DeFi ecosystem.
