🆕 Frax approves AMO whitelist and allocation caps for sfrxUSD balance sheet — $95M to Curve, $52M to lending, integrations $1M–$30M, external-request cap min($2M, 1% TVL); proposal passes overwhelmingly
- Frax has approved a whitelist of AMO strategies and explicit allocation caps for the sfrxUSD balance sheet (per FIP-430), allocating capital across Curve (sfrxUSD-frxUSD $50,000,000; reUSD+sfrxUSD $5,000,000; sfrxUSD-USDe $40,000,000 with Convex where optimal), lending venues (Fraxlend Ethereum $30,000,000; Fraxlend Fraxtal $2,000,000; Euler frxUSD $10,000,000; Aave USDe/sUSDe $10,000,000), Fraxtal and Ethena integrations (various $1,000,000–$30,000,000 commitments), with blue-chip protocol/T V L and yield-floor guardrails and external-request caps (initially min($2,000,000, 1% of sfrxUSD TVL)).
- Expected benefits are stronger sfrxUSD yield benchmark status, deeper liquidity and peg stability, and improved net returns via Ethena/Pendle exposure, while costs/risks are capped exposure to non-blue-chip venues, potential liquidation/redemption/liquidity risks mitigated by rules, and governance retains discretionary allocation; the proposal passed overwhelmingly with 14 voters and 32,539,492.62 votes cast (For 32,539,492.54; Against 0.08).
