Jarvis Network
Synthetics · Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche +4
Jarvis Network issues synthetic fiat-style tokens (jFIATs) against liquidity pools and now presents an on-chain euro account app. It is a small protocol by TVL, and part of its roadmap is still marked as coming soon.

Metronome V1
Synthetics · Ethereum
Metronome V1 is the early Ethereum version of Metronome, which was pitched as an autonomous cryptocurrency and now promotes a synthetic asset protocol. The V1 listing holds little value, so check which version you are dealing with.
ScoreScore 5.5 out of 10TVL $123K−0.5% - 7
Alchemix V2
Synthetics · Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum +1
Alchemix V2 was the version of the self-repaying loan protocol that ran on Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum and Fantom. Its governance and bridge pages now say the migration to V3 is complete, so new users should look at the current Alchemix app instead.
ScoreScore 6.5 out of 10TVL $78.9K−0.1% - 8
Rumpel Labs
Synthetics · Ethereum, Hyperliquid L1
Rumpel Labs is a point tokenization protocol that lets holders of offchain loyalty and airdrop points trade claims on them. It is an early, small-scale product, so liquidity and the underlying points programs are the main risks.
ScoreScore 5.2 out of 10TVL $45.8K−5.6% - 9
Kopio
Synthetics · Arbitrum
Kopio is an Arbitrum protocol for trading crypto and synthetic real-world assets, with borrowing and long or short exposure. Its broad offering is clear, but key details about fees, collateral, and security are not published.

Harbor
Synthetics · MegaETH, Ethereum
Harbor is a fork of f(x) Protocol that lets users mint pegged haTOKENS and leveraged hsTOKENS against yield-bearing collateral. Listed TVL is about 1 USD and the app shows no active Earn markets, so it looks dormant or winding down.
ScoreScore 4.8 out of 10TVL $1+0.6% - 11
Yam Finance
Synthetics · Ethereum
Yam Finance is an Ethereum-based DAO that builds synthetic assets, permissionless insurance and treasury services. It is small by TVL and has reportedly faced a governance attack, so treat it as high risk.
