SynFutures has released its Entropy upgrade, addressing a longstanding challenge in DeFi: making fully onchain orderbooks viable at scale.​

Key features include:

• Exact-price limit orders
• Elimination of slippage-based execution models
• Enhanced market-making infrastructure

While AMMs transformed DeFi by enabling decentralized trading, they introduced limitations around price execution and liquidity provision.​ The Entropy upgrade aims to solve these issues by making orderbook-based trading practical on blockchain networks.​

The protocol is preparing for mainnet deployment.​ More technical details are available in their knowledge hub article.​

A new report addresses Bloomberg's question about slow crypto adoption, revealing a significant gap between user intent and execution.​

Key Findings:

• 96% of crypto users want to pay with cryptocurrency
• 76% of payment attempts fail
• User experience identified as the primary barrier

The data shows demand isn't the issue—previous research found crypto users spend 15-25% more than card users.​ The report outlines plans to address these UX challenges that prevent mainstream adoption.​
