Synthetix to Suspend Majority Features of Protocol About 3 Hours Before the Merge

In preparation for the Ethereum merge event, expected to take place on the 15th September, Synthetix will suspend all Synthetix contracts on both Ethereum and Optimism, when Total Terminal Difficulty (TTD) crosses 58740000000000000000000, around 3 hours before the expected merge block and resume activities after ensuring that Chainlink feeds and the rest of the protocol are stable. $SNX will still be transferrable, but all other parts of the protocol, such as synth exchanges, futures, loans, staking (claiming, mint, burn), and bridging will be suspended.
