# THORSynths (Deprecated)

{% hint style="danger" %}
**THORSynths update:**

Following the default of the THORFi Lending and Savers (Earn) products in 2025, THORChain Synth assets are also deprecated. THORChain protocol has undertaken a multi-phase effort to restructure and resolve outstanding claims. **For more context, please see:** [**THORFi Unwind**](https://medium.com/thorchain/thorfi-unwind-96b46dff72c0) **article and** [**claim your $TCY token**](/thorswap/ecosystem/thorchain/tcy.md)**.**

### What are Synthetic Assets (“THORSynths”)? <a href="#id-4102" id="id-4102"></a>

Synthetic Assets (“Synths”) on THORChain, are now natively integrated into [THORSwap’s](https://app.thorswap.finance/) feature set.\
\
Synthetic Assets (“Synths”) are a collateralized representation of an asset on THORChain. These derivatives of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc will always have the same value as the original asset.

Unlike Wrapped Assets, THORChain Synths are backed by THORChain Liquidity Pools, which contain 50% of the original asset and 50% $RUNE. THORChain Liquidity Pools ensure that the synth price always remains 1:1 with the native token price. Collateralization via **pool ownership** *ensures **always-on liquidity and pricing.*** In short, there is always a direct correlation between the Synth and the Assets which are being secured.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.thorswap.finance/thorswap/ecosystem/thorchain/archived/synthetic-assets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
