May was a foundational month for Synternet as core infrastructure went live and community momentum accelerated across regions. On-chain governance officially launched, enabling decentralized decision-making for the protocol powered by $SYNT. We also activated the Model Connection Protocol (MCP), unlocking real-time, AI-ready data access for agents and applications. Ecosystem expansion continued with the Hive Intelligence partnership, strategic X Spaces with CoreDAO, and the launch of our Chinese community, setting the stage for global adoption of agent-powered data.
Here’s a full breakdown of everything we achieved in May:
- On-chain governance goes live
- Integration of MCP with the Synternet Protocol
- Hive Intelligence announcement
- Official Chinese Community Launch
- Tokenomics X Spaces
- CoreDAO X Spaces
On-chain Governance Goes Live
We’re excited to announce the launch of on-chain governance for the Synternet. This milestone marks a significant step forward in Synternet’s roadmap to ultimately be a fully decentralized protocol governance.
Read the full announcement here.Synternet has made it easier for token holders to vote, even when their tokens are delegated. Two proposals are going live: one to reduce inflation, and another to burn around 130 million unmigrated tokens. These proposals are part of a focused effort to tighten token supply and improve the protocol’s long-term sustainability. The Token Center has also been upgraded with live tokenomics data and integrated voting, making participation more transparent and accessible.
MCP Integration
The Model Connection Protocol (MCP) is now live on Synternet, unlocking permissionless access to real-time, structured data for AI tools. MCP formalizes how agents query, subscribe to, and consume live streams directly from the protocol, using formats optimized for inference and automation, without relying on APIs, polling, or custom integrations.
This makes Synternet not just a data layer, but the coordination infrastructure for autonomous agents, just as Ethereum became for smart contracts. With MCP, agent interaction becomes native, verifiable, and economically aligned with the protocol itself.
Read the full announcement here.MCP was the final piece of infrastructure needed to scale Syntoshi and unlock personalized versions of the agent tailored to individual users and use cases. With MCP live, Synternet becomes the first protocol where AI agents like Syntoshi can operate entirely permissionlessly, subscribing to real-time data, paying for what they consume, and scaling independently of centralized infrastructure. Your personal crypto AI concierge is launching very soon.
Hive Intelligence announcement
Last month, Synternet announced its integration with Hive Intelligence, combining real-time, LLM-ready blockchain data with decentralized compute infrastructure. This partnership enables AI agents to run high-performance workloads at the edge, marking a key step toward scaling the open agent economy with truly distributed and composable infrastructure.
Find the announcement on X.Official Chinese Community Launch
Last month, we teased the upcoming Telegram mini-game - and now, we're thrilled to reveal the bigger picture behind it. Synternet China - our newest and now official community in the APAC region.
Find the official Chinese community here.China has become a key focus for us and the mini-game is just one of the ways we’re engaging and growing this vibrant community. To ensure smooth onboarding and consistent support, we’re also welcoming a dedicated Chinese community moderator who will guide newcomers and keep communication flowing.
This is a major step forward in our APAC expansion - Indonesia and the Philippines, get ready!
Tokenomics X Spaces
Last month, the Synternet team joined X Spaces for a deep dive into how $SYNT powers on-chain governance, staking, and the AI agent economy. CEO Daniel Haudenschild and CTO Paulius Gedminas shared insights into the protocol’s evolving infrastructure and token utility, in a conversation hosted by Head of BD Philippe Engels.
Listen to the X Spaces here.As always, we’re grateful to community member Fabrol for providing the transcript of the X Spaces session.
Below are the key highlights from the discussion:
In June, two major governance proposals are going to vote: the permanent burn of all unclaimed NOIA tokens after June 30, and a reduction in SYNT’s inflation rate to minimize dilution and strengthen token value. These changes are designed to tighten supply and align long-term incentives for holders.
Validator rewards are also evolving. Instead of being paid just for uptime, validators will start earning based on actual usage, including protocol activity and data stream traffic, directly linking rewards to real-world utility.
Syntoshi, Synternet’s AI agent, continues to evolve. It already helps users navigate DeFi actions like staking and yield optimization, but it’s now becoming a personalized agent with memory and interaction history through a feature called U-Index. The public launch is just weeks away on Synternet’s official site.
This all ties into a broader shift: from websites to agents. Synternet is building the infrastructure for the agentic internet, where users interact with intelligent assistants powered by fast, verifiable, real-time data – not static pages.
At the core of all this is a long-term move from inflation-based rewards to utility-driven demand, with an emphasis on token value, transparency, and community-led governance.
CoreDAO X Spaces
Last month, the Synternet team joined an X Spaces session with the CoreDAO community to explore the growing intersection between real-time data, AI agents, and Bitcoin DeFi. Philippe, our Head of BD, shared how Synternet’s infrastructure enables permissionless access to live blockchain data and detailed how builders in the Core ecosystem can leverage Synternet for use cases like proof-of-reserves, automated circuit breakers, and personalized AI agents.
Listen to the X Spaces here.Once again, we thank community member Fabrol for transcribing the full session.
Below are the key highlights from the discussion:
The session focused on how Synternet’s real-time data streams can help CoreDAO builders secure Bitcoin-backed assets like wrapped BTC. Philippe explained how Synternet enables proof-of-reserves by tracking custodial wallets across chains, allowing protocols to detect under-collateralization instantly and pause money markets before damage occurs, acting as a decentralized circuit breaker.
Unlike traditional oracles, which rely on consensus and can lag behind, Synternet delivers real-time, parsed data directly to backend systems. Builders can subscribe permissionlessly, and Synternet is subsidizing stream integration for early Core developers to make adoption seamless.
The discussion introduced Syntoshi, Synternet’s AI agent that provides portfolio insights, wrapped BTC monitoring, and personalized DeFi guidance. While not yet live on Core, the team shared a vision for agent-native experiences in Core’s ecosystem, where users interact with intelligent agents instead of static UIs.
Philippe invited Core builders to experiment with its infrastructure and agent capabilities, with plans for follow-up sessions, demos, and a refreshed ambassador program. The conversation closed with strong community interest in building BTC-focused DeFi experiences powered by real-time data.
Building Continues
May pushed Synternet’s vision even further, activating on-chain governance, launching MCP, and deepening our presence across AI and DeFi ecosystems. From our integration with Hive Intelligence to live session with CoreDAO, momentum is building across every layer of the stack.
As Syntoshi nears its personalized launch and $SYNT utility becomes embedded in both access and execution, Synternet is not just powering agents, it’s becoming the infrastructure they rely on to operate autonomously, securely, and in real time.
