ANNOUNCEMENT! We're excited to share that The Block Pro, a portfolio of research, news and data products in one easy-to-use platform, launches later this month. Reach out to your account manager for more information about products and subscription options.
FRAX is a stablecoin that is partially collateralized and partially algorithmic with the use of Frax Shares (FXS) as the seigniorage token.
Protocol-owned collateral is deployed into various DeFi protocols, and a portion of the profit flows to FXS stakers.
Frax copied Curve’s playbook in implementing a vote locking mechanism that aligns the protocol’s interest with its loyal community members by incentivizing long-term FXS staking.
