This move follows the network’s restricted mainnet launch , initially available only to selected partner applications, including infrastructure providers such as Safe, Chainlink, Axelar and LayerZero.
The expansion lets users deposit assets, including ETH, CRV, sfxETH, and others from Ethereum to Fraxtal.
Developed as an Ethereum-compatible optimistic rollup using the OP Stack, Fraxtal is set to become part of the Optimism Superchain ecosystem, aligning with other players like the Coinbase-backed Base , Mode, Aevo , Lyra and Zora. The network aims to serve as a dapps platform with a particular emphasis on decentralized finance.
Frax is the creator of the decentralized Frax stablecoin and liquid staking derivative Frax Ether, supporting a total value locked of over $1 billion.
Reward snapshot
In a related development, the Frax team is set to take a snapshot of all vote-escrowed stakers of Frax Shares (veFXS) on the Ethereum mainnet today. These participants will receive a distribution in the form of Fraxtal (FXTL) points in some days, which may convert into a new token.
The network will separately introduce what's known as the Flox incentive system that will reward users based on the amount of gas they spend on the network, encouraging active participation.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": The Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates next week, but a single rate hike won't solve the problem
Nick Timiraos from "The New Federal Reserve News Agency" recently wrote that investors have largely concluded that the Federal Reserve will make its first interest rate hike in three years next week, but the harder question is what will happen afterward. Since almost no one inside the Fed believes that a single 25 basis point rate hike is enough to bring down inflation, a decision to raise rates next week would reflect the judgment that rates were previously set at the wrong level, and a single hike cannot solve the problem. Since the 1990s, the Fed has only had one "one-time" rate hike.
