Protocol Description:

sfrxETH is a staked interest bearing version of FRAX’s staked ETH (frxETH). Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (cbETH) represents your staked Ethereum (ETH) in a tradable form. You can unwrap cbETH at any time. cbETH provides flexibility to sell, transfer, or use it. You can move cbETH to a personal wallet and trade it outside the Coinbase platform.

Motivation:

As a joint effort with FRAX, we aim to increase liquidity of FRAX, sFRAX, frxETH, sfrxETH, to make Balancer a liquidity hub for Frax assets on Base. The BAL gauge and core pool status will facilitate the process.

Specifications:

  • Governance: FRAX governance process can be seen here and their snapshot here.
  • Oracles: Chainlink feed for rate can be found here.
  • Audits: See here
  • Centralization vectors: see here.
  • Market History: See here
  • Value: Balancer will earn the protocol fee on interest bearing sfrxETH and cbETH in the pool and so will LPs. The BIP-19 flywheel will incentivize TVL to grow here with trading volume and our staked ethereum pillars will continue to have Balancer as their ideal liquidity destination.
