Frax Finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol focused on building a stablecoin ecosystem, scalable blockchain infrastructure, and full DeFi stack. Its goal is to create what it calls a decentralized central bank — a financial system where digital dollars and stable assets can operate globally without middlemen.
💡 Key Components of the Frax Ecosystem
🟢 FRAX Stablecoin
FRAX is a stablecoin aimed to stay close to the U.S. dollar in value.
It’s designed using a fractional algorithmic model — part backed by collateral and part algorithmic stability mechanism. �
