SYMM
SYMM (Symmio), the intent-based perp protocol that powers the Pear Base app on Base.
SYMM (Symmio) is an intent-based perp protocol that powers the Pear Base app at mini.pear.garden: positions settle through a network of solvers/hedgers rather than a central orderbook.
Key facts
- Type: intent-based perps, settled by solvers/hedgers, not an orderbook
- Chain: Base
- Where: the Pear Base app only (SYMM is not on the Orchard web app)
- Docs: docs.symm.io
How it fits
- Chain and venue: the Base app trades via SYMM on the Base chain. "Base" is the chain; SYMM is the venue.
- Separate engine: the Base app runs on SYMM's stack, not on Pear's main trading engine, so it is a distinct surface from the Orchard web app.
- Funding: the app uses Blink, a bridge-and-swap service, to bridge and swap funds into USDC on Base before trading.
- Scope: a retail surface for pair and basket trading on SYMM's liquidity.
The Base app is no longer a Farcaster mini app. It runs as a standalone web app at mini.pear.garden.
