🔹 What is Frax (FRAX)?
Frax (FRAX) is a decentralized stablecoin that aims to maintain its value at approximately 1 US dollar (1 USD) through a mixed mechanism of collateral and algorithm. It is considered one of the first models in the category of algorithmic-collateral stablecoins. �
⚙️ How does it work?
🧠 Stability mechanism
Frax uses a mixed system of:
Real collateral (usually like USDC or other stable assets)
Algorithms to adjust the currency supply based on demand
📌 When the price of FRAX rises above $1:
The protocol increases the currency supply to lower the price towards $1.
📌 And when the price falls below $1:
The supply is reduced (for example, by buying back or burning the currency) to push the price towards $1.
This mechanism helps maintain stability even in volatile market conditions.
