Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

DeFiLlama publishes the exact rules used to aggregate on-chain balances into the headline TVL figure shown on this page. The methodology below is the team's own source-of-truth description.

Counts liquidty as the Collateral USDC on all AMOs, USDC POOLs, FRAX3CRV and FEI3CRVs through their Contracts

If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.

A further 12,5 M $US sits in the protocol's native staking modules — these deposits are typically locked, vote-bonded, or earning a share of fees, and they reduce the freely circulating float that can hit the market.

Market cap and supply figures are sourced from DeFiLlama's price feed (which reconciles CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and on-chain DEX prices). Treasury and staking values reflect on-chain balances controlled by the protocol at last sync.

Frax is published as a versioned release inside the Frax Finance protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

Frax is a Algo-Stables issuance protocol — it mints stable units against collateral (crypto, RWA, or off-chain reserves) and uses redemption or rebalancing mechanisms to hold the peg. It is deployed on Ethereum. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file). DeFiLlama tracks 1 historical event for this protocol since 2022.

Frax is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Ethereum — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Ethereum, Ethereum-staking, staking), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Chainlink); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.

Verified external resources for Frax — use these to read the source code, follow governance discussions, or cross-check on-chain data against the original team's channels.

Frax is one of 7 Algo-Stables protocols Mantapex tracks in this category. Direct peers ranked by total value locked include Mento V2, Generic.Money, DefiDollar DAO, and 3 more. These peer protocols collectively secure 23,8 M $US in deposits, giving you a frame of reference for whether Frax's own TVL is at the top, middle, or tail of the category.
