Frax is a decentralised stablecoin protocol designed to maintain its peg to the US dollar through a combination of asset-backed and algorithmic mechanisms. Its primary aim is to create a scalable, trustless, and stable on-chain currency, addressing the limitations of traditional collateralised and purely algorithmic stablecoins. Frax operates with a fractional-algorithmic model, leveraging a dynamic collateral ratio and a dual-token system consisting of the FRAX stablecoin and the FXS governance token.
Frax is built on the Ethereum blockchain and utilises smart contracts to manage minting, redemption, and stabilisation processes. The protocol relies on Ethereum's consensus mechanism and employs Algorithmic Market Operations (AMO) to dynamically adjust the supply of its stablecoins and maintain price stability. Smart contracts are integral to Frax’s functionality, ensuring transparent management of collateral ratios, minting processes, and governance.
Frax’s stablecoin system has various applications, including:
Industries benefiting from Frax include DeFi, cryptocurrency trading, and cross-chain interoperability.
Frax was founded by Sam Kazemian, Jason Huan, and Travis Moore, and launched on the Ethereum mainnet on December 21, 2020. Its inception marked a shift in stablecoin innovation with the combination of collateralised and algorithmic systems. Significant milestones include the introduction of additional stablecoins like FPI and frxETH and the transition to a fully collateralised model in February 2023. Over time, Frax has evolved into a comprehensive DeFi protocol, expanding its ecosystem and enhancing its technological and market presence.
