(5/20) The biggest FRAXBP news from yesterday is an update/clarification on the timeline.
Tl;dr theres technical stuff happening in the background that needs to happen before anything can be voted on. After its done, there will be two separate votes: FRAXBP and whitelisting $CRV
AMOs - automated investment managers that deploy Frax's capital to harvest yield (responsibly)
CR - measure of the market's faith in "algorithmic backing"
DR - measure of how "crypto-native" Frax's collateral backing is
(7/20) One of the (many) special things about @fraxfinance is that it is entirely on-chain. You can understand everything about $FRAX by analyzing the chain.
Based on deterministic models, you can show that if every person sold their $FRAX into POL, $FRAX would not depeg.

- Long term Fraxswap has a switch that can distribute fees to $FXS holders.
- Fraxswap is not zero-sum competitive with @CurveFinance. Fraxswap solves a different need, primarily with DAOs with a regular need to rebalance their token.

- Using Fraxswap to protect liquid backing (@OlympusDAO 👀)
I'll leave you with (in my opinion) the most important goal of Fraxlend: create use cases for $FRAX.
(14/20) Ecosystem
And again, @samkazemian hammers this home: $FXS is more than just something to burn to create $FRAX, it is a ve-token with control over an incredibly large and profitable treasury.
(15/20) ve-tokens are an economic primitive that allows the market to express the value of a token's governance power.
ve-tokens / $veFXS give the market the ability to discover and express even more value.
(16/20) Well @samkazemian wasn't saying exactly that, those are my words.
What he is saying is "build on our programmable money!!! Build on $FXS (and $FRAX)"
(17/20) FPI Yield Sustainability
$FPI is a "stablecoin" that matches inflation.
@fraxfinance only wants to provide/use yields that derive revenue from real sources (as opposed to ephemeral sources like marketing spend @anchor_protocol 👀)
Thank you @bigboyboccaccio!!! Once again, you're the true hero. I see he has a substack; if all his work is half as thorough as this I highly recommend subscribing!
What does it mean? Why is it important for the World Computer? Why does every project claim to be decentralized? What does decentralization mean for the @ethereum endgame?
If you've ever wondered "is decentralization real," this thread is for you!

Re-staking is coming to change Etheruem, forever. Learn how this new paradigm will enable a new category of services and transform $ETH into the pristine collateral of trustless trust.
A few ideas worth building.

(1/25) Think back to 2014 - the beginning of @ethereum - and compare it to what we have today. What if I told you that the Ethereum of 2030 will be AT LEAST as different from today's Ethereum?
We live in the world of Today-Fi; let us consider the world of Tomorrow-Fi.

(3/25) Take a look at the top of your browser, click on the box on the top. Look at the first 5 letters: https.
All you need to know about https - it is the method by which computers communicate behind the scenes to deliver the internet experience you know and love.
Proof of Work and Proof of Stake are tools we use to build systems devoid of trust. Both consensus mechanisms enable centralized actors (miners/validators) to trustlessly take unilateral actions.
The theory behind trustlessness.
