Frequently Asked Questions

Frax Ether (frxETH) is a liquid staking derivative created by Frax Finance. It allows users to mint a token pegged 1:1 to ETH, which can be held for exposure or staked into sfrxETH to earn validator rewards. frxETH also functions as the native gas token for Fraxtal, Frax’s Layer-2 blockchain. Unlike ETH staked directly into validators, frxETH provides liquidity and composability in DeFi while maintaining a loose peg to ETH.

  • ETH Exposure: Provides liquid exposure to ETH while maintaining flexibility within DeFi.
  • Staking Yield: Holders can convert frxETH to sfrxETH to earn validator yield, with about 90% of staking rewards distributed to sfrxETH holders.
  • Gas Payments: Serves as the transaction fee token on the Fraxtal Layer-2 network.
  • Protocol Sustainability: A share of staking yield (~10%) supports the Frax treasury and a slashing insurance fund.
