[FIP - 323,324] Deploy FRAX and frxETH via Fraxferry on Eclipse Mainnet

Author

Eclipse Labs

Summary

This is a proposal to integrate native FRAX and frxETH at launch of Eclipse Mainnet. This initiative includes the deployment of Fraxswap and Fraxlend to the Eclipse ecosystem.

Eclipse Mainnet is a general purpose Ethereum L2 that leverages the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) as its execution environment. The canonical bridge is on Ethereum and ETH is used as the gas token. Given the scalability of the SVM, fees on Eclipse will be significantly lower than existing L2s, lending itself as a low cost solution to growing FRAX and frxETH adoption through higher capital efficiency.

Proposal Details:

  1. Native FRAX stablecoin and frxETH deployment at launch of Eclipse Mainnet
  2. Utilization of Fraxferry to facilitate the seamless transfer of these assets
  3. Deployment of Fraxswap and Fraxlend

Background & Motivation

Expanding Reach of FRAX and frxETH

Integrating these assets natively on Eclipse Mainnet offers a new avenue for exposure and utilization, broadening the FRAX user base.

Establish FRAX as the Anchor Stablecoin

The strategic timing of this integration, coinciding with the launch of the Eclipse Mainnet, positions FRAX favorably to become the predominant stablecoin within the Eclipse ecosystem.

Extend Fraxswap and Fraxlend to SVM

Given Eclipse is an SVM chain, deploying to Eclipse would make Fraxswap and Fraxlend SVM-compatible. This opens up additional channels for Fraxswap and Fraxlend deployment to other chains in the future.

Voting

  • For: Deploy native FRAX and frxETH on Eclipse Mainnet along with Fraxswap and Fraxlend.

  • Against: Do nothing.
