Welcome
Hi and welcome to Synapse Docs. Our mission is to ensure that everyone around the world has access to best-in-class financial products, regardless of their net worth. We do so by greatly lowering the barriers to entry for launching financial products. These docs serve our mission by simply explaining how to use and integrate with our products.

Synapse Discuss
Synapse Discuss houses our API Changelog and Technical Discussion Board.
- The API Changelog provides information about recent version-specific changes to provide developers with context about Critical Updates/Breaking Changes, New Features, Improvements, and Fixes.
- The Technical Discussion Board allows invited platforms to have in-depth technical discussions about Synapse’s currently available core offerings.
Why We Don't Offer a General Tech Support
We realized that an important step in achieving our mission to lower barriers for financial services is making our products self-serve learn more here about our Self-Service Pledge.
Instead of providing general tech support, we have decided to create simple-to-integrate-with APIs and straightforward accompanying documentation to allow any team to self-integrate with our system. This approach reduces our costs and allows us to offer our products at a lower price.
