The protocol starts at 100% collateralized. As it expands, it'll slowly test lower and lower collateral ratios. And so what that means is the FRAX stablecoin is only backed by USDC at the collateral ratio.” [00:02:32]“One of the main stories that I like to tell about how FRAX came to be after the whole Tether saga.” [00:07:24]“One of the things that's interesting that we're exploring, not finalized, we don't really know if this is what we'll release or anything, but we were thinking of having FRAX be backed by $1 of LP token value.” [00:30:21]LinksFRAX Finance - https://frax.finance/CoinGecko - https://www.coingecko.com/Frax (FRAX) on CoinGecko - https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fraxFrax Share (FXS) on CoinGecko - https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/frax-shareSocial MediaFRAX Finance:https://twitter.com/fraxfinancehttps://t.me/fraxfinanceCoinGecko:https://twitter.com/coingeckohttps://t.me/coingecko
