Frax Finance: Building a decentralised central bank, starting with a stablecoin

Buffets
May 28
Anyone who has dabbled in decentralised finance (DeFi) for even a short while would be aware of the importance of stablecoins – cryptocurrencies whose value is pegged to another asset, often fiat currency such as the US dollar. In a market like crypto where large price swings are the norm, stablecoins provide some semblance of sanity for market participants, serving as a relatively stable medium of exchange for other volatile crypto assets, or as an on-chain store of value, especially during risk-off periods.

I first heard of blockchains and cryptocurrencies in 2017 during the previous Bitcoin bull run. While I made sure to get a cursory understanding of how blockchains worked before buying a small amount of cryptocurrencies then, I had treated these purchases as pure speculation. I couldn’t imagine using bitcoins as part of my daily life, and Ethereum’s smart contract functionality seemed like a rather lofty aspiration at that point in time. It was just fun to join in the hype (with a relatively inconsequential stake), and see where everything went.
