what's frax finance?

Frax Finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol focused on creating stablecoins and yield-bearing assets. It issues the FRAX stablecoin, which maintains its peg through a hybrid collateralized and algorithmic mechanism, and the FXS token, which serves as the governance and value-accrual token for the ecosystem. Key features include the ability to mint and redeem FRAX with collateral like USDC, integration with lending markets and liquidity pools across multiple blockchains, and innovations like liquid staking derivatives such as frxETH. The project has expanded to include its own layer-2 chain called Fraxtal and partnerships with institutions like BlackRock for tokenized assets. Frax emphasizes capital efficiency, yield generation through savings tokens like sfrxUSD, and seamless cross-chain operations via bridges like LayerZero.
