The Weaknesses in Current Stablecoins
Many stablecoins run on complete collateralization or pure algorithmic designs in the market. It either goes for the full spectrum of complete collateralization, or a full algorithmic design without any backings. Stablecoins with collateral inherently provide a more reliable coin with a relatively tight peg. Meanwhile, algorithm designs like Empty Set Dollar offer a highly trustless and scalable model with stability.
Unfortunately, both models have their own weaknesses and risks. Total collateral usually comes with a custodial risk and a high requirement for on-chain over-collateralization. On the other hand, algorithm designs are challenging to bootstrap, grow slowly, and are volatile. It also had lower traction in the market, ultimately eroding investor confidence in its usage as a stablecoin.
How Does Frax Protocol Change Stablecoins
The Frax Protocol aims to be the first stablecoin that uses both design principles. The team believes that it will create a highly scalable, trustless, extremely stable, and ideologically pure on-chain currency. It has parts of the stablecoin supplies backed by collaterals. Meanwhile, another part of it runs on the algorithmic design. It currently runs on Ethereum on 12 other chains.
Additionally, The Frax Protocol is a two-token system. It includes its own stablecoin FRAX and its governance token FXS. It also has a native AMM called Fraxswap and a lending facility called Fraxlend. Fraxswap is the first AMM with a time-weighted average market maker. It rebalances collateral, mint and expands the FRAX supply, and deploys on-chain liquidity.
Is The Frax Protocol (FXS) a Good Investment?
In the past week, FXS is seeing a lot of fluctuations in the market. Despite that, it is still a considerably good long-term investment choice. However, it is crucial for users to prepare a proper exit strategy before investing. It is also important to consult your financial adviser for any investment plans. This is not financial advice.
