Frax Finance Announces Ambitious "Singularity" Roadmap, Targets $100B Value for Layer 2 Blockchain Fraxtal by 2026

Frax Finance's Singularity Roadmap aims to propel the TVL of its Layer 2 blockchain, Fraxtal, to $100 billion by 2026, a staggering 760,000% increase. With the launch of Fraxtal and achievement of 100% CR, Frax plans to transform its stablecoin, FRAX, and FXS revenue share, while introducing Layer 3s to drive adoption. The protocol has secured $45 million, enabled advanced features on Fraxtal, and outlines an expansion strategy including establishing 23 Layer 3s, allocating 50% of protocol fees to veFXS holders, and reactivating the protocol fee switch.

Frax Finance Unveils Ambitious Singularity Roadmap: Target $100B Locked Value for Layer 2 Blockchain Fraxtal by 2026

New York, NY, January 24, 2023 - Frax Finance, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, has unveiled its highly anticipated Singularity Roadmap, outlining a comprehensive plan to propel the total value locked (TVL) of its layer 2 blockchain, Fraxtal, to an astounding $100 billion by the end of 2026. This ambitious goal represents a phenomenal 760,000% increase from its current TVL of $13 million.

Fraxtal: The Substrate Powering the Frax Ecosystem

Central to Frax Finance's strategy is the further development and expansion of Fraxtal, a substrate blockchain that acts as the underlying operating system for the Frax ecosystem. With the successful launch of Fraxtal and the achievement of an effective 100% Collateralization Ratio (CR), Frax Finance has solidified its core product offerings.

Reaching the $100B TVL Target

To achieve the ambitious $100 billion TVL goal, the protocol has already secured over $45 million in funding, enabling it to reach the coveted 100% CR. With this milestone achieved, Frax Finance is poised to undergo a "transformative change" in its stablecoin offerings and revenue-sharing mechanisms.

The FRAX stablecoin, which has remained relatively dormant during the protocol's consolidation phase, can now be revitalized. Similarly, the FXS revenue share, which was temporarily reduced by 90% to conserve assets, can be restored, providing greater incentives to stakeholders.

Introduction of Layer 3s (L3s) on Fraxtal

The upcoming introduction of Layer 3s (L3s) on Fraxtal is expected to be a key driver of growth and adoption for the protocol. Fraxtal is already one of the most widely used layer 2 solutions built on top of Ethereum (ETH), according to the Frax team. With the development of additional underlying incentives, Frax aims to provide a seamless experience for developers and users, further encouraging adoption.

By owning the entire technology stack, Frax has the ability to introduce advanced features such as account abstraction, new precompiles, privacy features, aggregated decentralized applications (dApps), and interoperability with Superchain. These features are expected to enhance the on-chain experience, making Fraxtal the preferred platform for holding, staking, and transferring crypto assets.

Expansion Strategy: Fostering a "Fraxtal Nation"

The roadmap also unveils Frax Finance's plans to establish 23 Layer 3s within 365 days, effectively launching the "Fraxtal Nation" community. By supporting these 23 chains with developer access, incentives, and investment, Frax aims to foster a positive-sum approach and provide additional support to official partners.

The protocol suggests that these partners will receive substantial allocations of FXTL points, solidifying the role of the FXS token as the ultimate beneficiary of the Frax ecosystem.

Revenue Distribution and Protocol Fee Switch Reactivation

Frax Finance founder Sam Kazemian has proposed allocating 50% of the revenue from protocol fees to veFXS token holders. The remaining 50% will be used to acquire FXS and other Frax assets for pairing in the FXS Liquidity Engine (FLE). This initiative aims to increase liquidity, strengthen the Frax balance sheet, and provide additional incentives for the protocol's stakeholders.

The protocol fee switch, which was temporarily turned off during the consolidation phase, will also be reactivated. By reigniting this switch, a portion of the yield generated from protocol fees will be directed towards veFXS token holders. veFXS, or veiled FXS, represents a locked version of the native token, FXS, and offers enhanced voting power and participation in the Frax ecosystem.

Market Reaction and Future Outlook

As of the time of writing, the market has yet to respond favorably to the news. The FXS token is currently trading at $6.93, reflecting a 3.5% loss in the past 24 hours. It is important to note that the proposed protocol features are still in development, and their impact on the Frax Finance ecosystem and the token's performance is yet to be determined.

The Frax Finance Singularity Roadmap presents an ambitious vision for the future of the protocol and its layer 2 blockchain, Fraxtal. With a target of $100 billion TVL by 2026, Frax Finance is poised to make a significant impact on the DeFi landscape. The introduction of Layer 3s and other advanced features is expected to further enhance the protocol's capabilities and drive adoption. The success of Frax Finance's roadmap will hinge upon the execution of its plans and the continued support of its community.
