Generate Yield On FXS with Fyde Treasury Protocol
Summary:
Proposal to deploy idle FXS from the Frax Treasury into the Fyde escrow contract. This will accrue 36~60% APY for the next 6 months in the form of FYDE, and kick off a long-term partnership between Frax and Fyde.
Note: This solely involves depositing FXS into a non-custodial smart contract. No FXS is sold at any point and 100% of deployed FXS is returned to the treasury at the end of the proposed engagement. There are also no lock-ups on withdrawals, so Frax can withdraw the FXS at any time during this engagement.
Motivation:

No yield is currently being generated on the treasury’s FXS.
Fyde presents a yield opportunity that ensures the protection of 100% coin principal.
