About Frax

Legacy Frax Dollar is the stablecoin formerly known as FRAX. It was renamed in 2025 after the Frax North Star Proposal, which restructured the protocol’s branding and token roles. Legacy Frax Dollar preserves its dollar peg and remains supported for backward compatibility, while Frax’s active development is now centred on frxUSD and related stablecoin products.
Frax is a decentralised finance protocol that initially launched in 2019 with the first fractional-algorithmic stablecoin, FRAX. The design combined partial collateralisation with algorithmic stabilisation. Alongside FRAX, the protocol introduced Frax Shares (FXS) as the governance token. The ecosystem expanded with other products including frxETH, sfrxETH, and the Fraxtal Layer-2 network. In 2025, following approval of the Frax North Star Proposal (FIP-428), the original FRAX stablecoin was renamed Legacy Frax Dollar. This change separated the legacy design from newer stablecoin products in the Frax ecosystem, such as frxUSD and sfrxUSD, which are now the primary focus of development.
Legacy Frax Dollar is the renamed version of the original FRAX stablecoin. It maintains its peg to the US dollar and continues to be supported across protocols and integrations where FRAX was already in use. Legacy Frax Dollar can still be minted and redeemed in the same way as the original FRAX, but it is now classified as a legacy product. The protocol’s development direction has shifted toward frxUSD and its derivatives, which feature enhanced mechanisms for stability and yield. Legacy Frax Dollar remains part of the ecosystem for continuity and backward compatibility, ensuring users and integrations are not disrupted by the rebrand.
Frax and its stablecoin system were created in 2019 by Sam Kazemian, with early collaboration from Stephen Moore. Kazemian introduced the fractional-algorithmic model that distinguished FRAX from fully collateralised or purely algorithmic stablecoins. Under his leadership, the Frax ecosystem has evolved into a multi-token platform with advanced stablecoins, staking products and its own Layer-2 network.

AUSD Token Survived Three Market Crashes Without Breaking Peg

AUSD Token Survived Three Market Crashes Without Breaking Peg

AUSD is Agora's fully collateralized U.S. dollar stablecoin, backed one-to-one by cash, short-term Treasury bills, and reverse repurchase agreements held in a segregated reserve managed by VanEck and custodied by State Street. AUSD traded around $0.9997 with a market cap near $130 million across roughly 134 million tokens, having weathered three market stress events since its July 2024 launch without a material depeg. Its deepest historical deviation reached $0.9505, a roughly five-cent move that self-corrected, against an all-time high of $1.02 for a lifetime range of about seven cents. Agora raised a $50 million Series A led by Paradigm in July 2025 and filed for a U.S. national trust bank charter with the OCC in April 2026. The token is live natively across more than a dozen blockchains including Ethereum, Avalanche, and Sui.

Frax Rebuilt Everything While the Market Looked Away

Frax Rebuilt Everything While the Market Looked Away

Frax (FRAX) trades near $0.43 with a market cap around $41 million, but the protocol behind it has been completely re-engineered. Frax killed its algorithmic mechanism after the 2022 Terra collapse, took the stablecoin fully collateralized, built fraxlend (permissionless isolated-pair lending), launched frxUSD backed by BlackRock's BUIDL fund, and shipped its own Fraxtal blockchain. The North Star Hardfork renamed FXS to FRAX and the original FRAX stablecoin to FRAXLEGACY, which still carries a $274 million market cap. The FRAX ecosystem token that now powers the entire stack - gas on Fraxtal, governance, lending revenue from fraxlend, real yield from sfrxUSD - sits at a $41 million market cap against roughly $270 million in network TVL. That gap is the story.

What Happened After Arbitrum Airdrop Changed Everything

What Happened After Arbitrum Airdrop Changed Everything

Arbitrum (ARB) is the native governance token of the largest Ethereum rollup network. The March 23, 2023 Arbitrum airdrop sent over 1.16 billion ARB to roughly 625,000 wallets, setting the template every later rollup copied for points-based eligibility and DAO governance. Three years on, ARB trades around $0.125 with a market cap near $770 million, down 95% from its $2.39 all-time high. But the network the airdrop seeded has $1.65 billion in TVL, 2.1 billion cumulative transactions, and partnerships with Robinhood, BlackRock, and Franklin Templeton. The same Security Council that token holders elected through the airdrop froze 30,766 ETH tied to the April KelpDAO exploit, then handed half its seats to a new cohort taking office May 21. This retrospective covers what the airdrop built, what it didn't, and how the next governance phase will be tested by STEP 2.0 RWA allocations and ongoing legal exposure around the frozen KelpDAO ETH.
