Synesis One

Synesis One — a reference card for a crypto project: what the product does and how verifiable the project’s key claims are; also — alignment with the Decentralized AI thesis (DecAI Fit).

Synesis One — a project about Web3 crowdsourcing/a data market for AI, with the SNS token (SPL; Solana).

Disclaimer

Important: this page is a reference overview of the project. Within DecAIHub, we separately record a verification based on open sources within the AI thesis (what is real AI/onchain/why a token, and which sources this is based on).
This is not financial advice and not a recommendation to buy/sell/hold any asset. We do not assess price, returns, or entry/exit timing.
Conclusions are based on publicly available materials found as of the verification date. The absence of confirmation does not imply the absence of the technology.

TL;DR (for readers who are not into AI)

  • What it is: a platform/ecosystem for crowdsourcing, verifying and monetizing data/ontologies used by AI systems.
  • Who it’s for: participants who perform micro‑tasks for data collection/labeling; teams that need datasets; DAO members.
  • Why onchain/token: the project describes the use of smart contracts for coordination, accounting and the data market; the SNS token is described as the ecosystem’s governance token.

How it works (very briefly)

  1. The user does: participates in data collection/labeling campaigns (Train‑to‑Earn) or in the “mining” of ontologies (per the litepaper).
  2. The system does: records results/rights/participation via smart contracts and data market mechanics (in the project’s terms: DAO + marketplace).
  3. The user gets: a reward/participation in the ecosystem and (where available) rights/assets related to data (for example, Kanon as a data NFT in the project’s description).
  4. Where the blockchain is: the project describes the deployment of smart contracts on Solana and operation in a cross‑chain environment.
  5. Token role: SNS is described as the ecosystem’s governance token (together with a separate data token, Kanon, per the litepaper).

General project overview

Synesis One describes itself as a Web3 utility/data market for AI: the ecosystem includes a DAO (SynesisDAO) and a data marketplace (Kanon Exchange). On the public website, the project also describes a “decentralized crowdsourcing platform” for data collection/labeling campaigns (raw data, annotation, RLHF, etc.) and the thesis of running on smart contracts instead of a centralized operator. The technical litepaper (2021 update) mentions elements of Mind AI and a “dual‑token” model (the governance token Synesis/SNS and the data token Kanon).

Features/modules

  • Train‑to‑Earn campaigns (per the website): micro‑tasks for data collection/labeling with a reward.
  • DAO + marketplace (per the litepaper): SynesisDAO and Kanon Exchange as elements of the ecosystem.
  • Ecosystem tokens (per the litepaper): governance (SNS/Synesis) and the data token Kanon.

Typical scenarios

  • Scenario 1: a participant selects a Train‑to‑Earn campaign → performs data tasks → receives a reward (as described on the website).
  • Scenario 2: a participant interacts with the data ecosystem (DAO/marketplace) → gets access to the data market mechanics (as described in the litepaper).

Getting started (wallet/network)

  • What you need: an account in Synesis One products (for example, Train‑to‑Earn); for onchain operations — a Solana wallet.
  • Network/chain: Solana (per the description of the V1 smart contract deployment).
  • Fees: depend on onchain operations on Solana and on the use of the ecosystem’s applications.

Architecture/tech (non‑AI)

  • Components: ecosystem applications + smart contracts (Synesis One V1 on Solana, per the litepaper).
  • Participant roles: participants of data campaigns; DAO members; buyers/sellers of data assets.
  • Where logic runs: coordination/accounting and part of the market — onchain (per the project’s description); interfaces/clients — offchain.
  • Dependencies: Solana infrastructure (validators/RPC/explorers), as well as the project’s web applications.

Token/economics (expanded, no forecasts)

  • SNS token role (Synesis): in the litepaper, the governance token is designated as “Synesis”; the project’s public page uses the ticker SNS.
  • Dual‑token model: the litepaper describes a governance token (Synesis/SNS) and the data token Kanon.
  • Revenue streams (per the litepaper): mining fee, trading fees, creator royalties and other charges are mentioned as expected sources of the ecosystem’s revenue.

Governance

  • Who makes decisions: the litepaper describes SynesisDAO; the website mentions a “governance system” and the thesis of a voice for stakeholders.
  • Governance mechanics details: not recorded per Tier‑1 sources as of the verification date (forum/threshold/process) in the form of a separate Tier‑1 set of rules.

Security and incidents

  • Audits/Bug bounty: not found per Tier‑1 sources as of the verification date.
  • Incidents: not found per Tier‑1 sources as of the verification date.

Project status and timeline

  • Current status: an active product and public applications (Train‑to‑Earn) on the project’s website.
  • Key milestone: the technical litepaper is dated with the “December 2021” update.

Ecosystem/integrations

  • Ecosystem: Train‑to‑Earn applications, the Kanon marketplace and the project’s documents/academy resources (per the website navigation).

AI component of the project

  • What is real AI here? The litepaper mentions Mind AI as a natural‑language reasoning AI and the use of ontologies/data for AI systems.
  • What is truly onchain? The project describes the operation of smart contracts (Synesis One V1) on Solana and onchain accounting for elements of the data ecosystem.
  • Why is a token needed? SNS is described as a governance token; the litepaper separately describes the data token Kanon and the data market.
  • Red flags/what to double‑check: no Tier‑1 demo/guide was found where the operation of the Mind AI component can be reproduced; the SNS tokenomics/issuance parameters were not extracted from Tier‑1 sources as of the verification date.
