Synthetix and Derive have canceled a $27 million merger proposal after facing pushback from the community.
The proposed deal aimed to integrate Derive's decentralized options platform with Synthetix's derivatives ecosystem on Ethereum.
Under the terms, Synthetix would have acquired Derive's treasury, technology, and product suite via a token swap.
The cancellation reflects the trend of community-driven governance in DeFi, highlighting the importance of alignment between teams and communities for successful integrations in Web3 ecosystems.
