Synthetix's founder, Kain Warwick, is proposing a fundamental overhaul of SNX through the introduction of the 420 Pool, a new staking model. This new model aims to address the lack of incentives for staking SNX by allowing token holders to deposit their tokens and centralize debt management, reducing risk for everyone. The primary yield source for the 420 Pool will be sUSDe minting through Ethena, with future integrations expected. The plan also includes a "Debt Jubilee" that forgives historical sUSD debt over 12 months, potentially attracting holders of Synthetix Debt Shares. However, there are concerns about the sustainability of this fix and the potential risks introduced by centralizing debt management in the protocol. Warwick is betting that this time, the protocol-driven leverage model will work despite past inefficiencies. If successful, this model could reignite demand for SNX and position Synthetix as a dominant decentralized stablecoin issuer. However, it is still uncertain whether the market will embrace this new staking product or view it as another over-engineered experiment.
