## Summary

This proposal seeks to delegate the full compliance infrastructure and collateral management of frxUSD to FRAX Inc (previously known as FinresPBC), the public benefit corporation responsible for regulatory operations. FRAX Inc will manage all issuer responsibilities—including collateral onboarding, compliance audits, custodian integrations—and will only retain sufficient revenue to cover its operational expenses for delegated operations. All surplus revenue generated from frxUSD issuance will be returned to the Frax DAO treasury to the benefit of FRAX (prev. FXS) token holders.

* * *

## Background and Motivation

As Frax Finance advances toward GENIUS Bill regulatory compliance for frxUSD in anticipation of U.S. stablecoin legislation, it is crucial to unify the off-chain and legal components of the system in a formally structured and regulated entity. FRAX Inc is structured to serve as the operational entity responsible for issuing frxUSD and managing its underlying collateral in accordance with regulatory standards.

Currently, elements of the compliance process and collateral deployment are shared between the DAO and external entities, creating operational inefficiencies and regulatory ambiguity. This proposal fully transfers those responsibilities to FRAX Inc, while maintaining DAO oversight through revenue routing and the ability to override via governance vote in the future. This structure establishes a clear legal and operational boundary, supporting FRAX Inc’s pursuit of a payment stablecoin license and enabling full autonomy within regulated jurisdictions.

This proposal solves the need for FRAX Inc to perform important stablecoin issuance, compliance, and partnership activities without explicitly having to get affirmative approval from FRAX token holders for every action, an infeasible expectation that will be detrimental in competing with centralized issuers like Circle, Tether, Paxos etc.

Hi there - am generally supportive as this is definitely the way we need to go. When is the proposal up for voting please?

Also - in the summary it says:

> All surplus revenue generated from frxUSD issuance will be returned to the Frax DAO treasury to the benefit of FRAX (prev. FXS) token holders.

Do you mean token holders - presumably by way of FRAX price appreciation - or actually FRAX stakers through sfrxUSD reward distribution? Or a bit of both? Do you need to clarify?

Thanks

Siggo

To be more clear for you I suggest to check this table on [FIP-428](https://gov.frax.finance/t/fip-428-frax-north-star-proposal-v2/3652/17) :  
[![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/frax1/original/2X/4/4fc4f605834a53d6514e603de44487dae0f29f90.png) ](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/frax1/original/2X/4/4fc4f605834a53d6514e603de44487dae0f29f90.png)

So it will be a bit of both during each milestone.
