The expansion to the Cosmos ecosystem, an interoperability network, is expected to boost the adoption of FRAX and sFRAX in diverse applications, including trading, savings, payments and collateral, while offering Cosmos users a decentralized alternative to USDC, the world's second-largest dollar-pegged cryptocurrency.
“Bringing native FRAX issuance to Cosmos has been a priority for some time, and we are thrilled to announce Noble as our issuance partner. We look forward to FRAX and sFRAX being available and are excited by the potential innovative use cases and incentives developed by us and our partners as well as by the broader community of Cosmos appchains and users,” Sam Kazemian, founder of Frax Finance, said.
Frax Finance is a full-fledged DeFi ecosystem offering stablecoins, liquidity staking on Ethereum, a layer 2 platform, and lending markets. Frax's other tokens, Frax Price Index (FPI) and frxETH may be available on Cosmos at a later date.
