Getting SNX and sUSD

Last updated: Feb 24, 2026

To stake on Synthetix, you need SNX or sUSD on Ethereum Mainnet.

Acquiring SNX

SNX is widely available on both centralised and decentralised exchanges.

Centralised exchanges — major CEXes listing SNX include Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and OKX. Withdraw directly to Ethereum Mainnet (ERC-20).

Decentralised exchanges — swap for SNX on Uniswap or Curve on Ethereum Mainnet.

You can view all available markets for SNX on CoinGecko.

Acquiring sUSD

sUSD is the Synthetix over-collateralised stablecoin. One way to acquire it is:

Swap on Curve — sUSD is available in the sUSD/sUSDe Curve pool on Ethereum Mainnet.

You can view sUSD markets on CoinGecko.

Bridging from Optimism

If you hold SNX or sUSD on Optimism from a legacy Synthetix position, bridge them to Ethereum Mainnet via Superbridge.

Gas on Ethereum Mainnet

You also need ETH on Ethereum Mainnet to pay for gas. If withdrawing from a CEX, withdraw a small amount of ETH at the same time as your SNX or sUSD.

Next steps

Once you have SNX or sUSD in your wallet on Mainnet, follow the How to Stake SNX guide to begin staking.
