Technical overview

Under the hood, each synthetic is an over-collateralised position managed by a small set of contracts. The design borrows the proven pattern of priceless synthetic tokens, positions that don't need a constant on-chain price, only a reference at settlement or dispute. Event-triggered synths add one more contract on top, the rebalance engine.

Network

TRANT deploys on Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum layer-2 built on the Arbitrum stack and optimised for tokenized real-world assets. It settles to Ethereum for security, uses ETH for gas, and is fully EVM-compatible, so TRANT's contracts and any Ethereum wallet work without modification. Fast, low-cost blocks make frequent minting, trading, and liquidation economical.

Position manager

Handles minting, collateral deposits, and redemption for a given synthetic. It enforces the minimum collateralisation ratio and issues the tradable token.

Optimistic oracle

Reports the reference value only when needed, at expiry, or when a position is disputed. Reporters stake economic value; incorrect reports are challenged and slashed, so the price is secured by incentives rather than trust.

Liquidation

Any actor can liquidate an under-collateralised position and earn a reward for doing so. This keeps every synthetic fully backed without the protocol intervening.
