What is FXS?
FXS (Frax Share) is the governance and value accrual token of the Frax Finance ecosystem. While FRAX is the stablecoin, FXS captures protocol value and provides governance over the expanding Frax product suite including frxETH (liquid staking), sFRAX (savings product), and the FRAX stablecoin itself.
Originally designed to absorb volatility in the fractional-algorithmic model, FXS has evolved into a governance token for one of DeFi's most innovative stablecoin ecosystems.
