TL;DR
- The integration of stablecoins FRAX and sFRAX into the Cosmos and IBC ecosystem will strengthen the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.
- FRAX, backed by algorithms, maintains a 1:1 parity with the US dollar, ensuring stability and security, while sFRAX allows users to earn additional yields by locking their FRAX.
- The collaboration promotes cross-chain interoperability and offers innovative solutions for DeFi users worldwide.
The integration of stablecoins FRAX and sFRAX into the Cosmos and IBC ecosystem will make a significant contribution to the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. This collaboration between Noble and Frax Finance brings new opportunities for users and developers in the Cosmos network, boosting adoption and liquidity.
FRAX is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, offering stability and security to users by maintaining a 100% collateralization ratio. It is backed by algorithms and uses Algorithmic Market Operations (AMO) contracts to maintain its parity with the dollar. On the other hand, sFRAX represents a staked version of FRAX, where users can lock their FRAX to receive sFRAX and earn additional yields.
We are excited to partner with @fraxfinance to bring their innovative suite of decentralized stabelcoins to the @cosmos ecosystem.

The introduction of stablecoins into the Cosmos ecosystem expands the available options for users. They provide stability and liquidity while also offering investment opportunities and participation in the market. They will give users the opportunity to use a variety of decentralized financial applications, such as loans, exchanges, and yield strategies.
More Stablecoins, More backing, More stability
Noble’s role as a digital asset issuance chain is essential for this integration. Noble facilitates the issuance and distribution of FRAX and sFRAX in Cosmos and promotes cross-chain interoperability through the IBC protocol. This allows all major Cosmos chains integrated with IBC to access FRAX and sFRAX natively.
These two entities will strengthen the DeFi industry by offering innovative and accessible solutions to users worldwide. Additionally, it is expected that other tokens from Frax Finance, such as the Frax Price Index (FPI) and FraxEther (frxETH), will be available in the Cosmos ecosystem in the near future.
Undoubtedly, the integration of FRAX and sFRAX into the Cosmos and IBC ecosystem will bring the expected and necessary change for the growth of the DeFi industry. This partnership promises to drive adoption, liquidity, and innovation, providing new opportunities for users and developers worldwide.
