The modular thesis is growing week by week. We are seeing the rise of new L2s and appchains happening at a rapidly accelerating pace now. Our second podcast as a team featuring Sam Kazemian from Frax Finance is here. Frax started its journey as a decentralized stablecoin and has expanded significantly to include a broader range of DeFi tools and assets, making their modular L2 more appealing from our POV. The backbone of Frax's operations is its modular L2, Fraxtal, which brings together protocols, liquidity, and monetary policies within one chain. Fraxtal enhances efficiency and transparency, setting a foundation for Frax to function akin to a decentralized central bank. Within this framework, Fraxtal uses an incentivization system known as Fraxtal points, which rewards popular contracts based on their usage and gas consumption. This creates a reputation-based system that promotes sustainable development within the Frax ecosystem. Additionally, we discussed how Sam plans to encourage the development of L3s atop of Fraxtal. This means dApps can launch their own chains while benefiting from the underlying Frax protocol and liquidity. This is part of Frax's fractal scaling vision, where L2 and L3s can generate revenue and contribute back to the overall ecosystem. Explore how Fraxtal, powered by Frax, is morphing into its broader vision of becoming a decentralized central bank in todays episode! Hope you enjoy.

Samantha Yap is a former journalist who started the crypto PR firm YAP Global in 2016. She has worked with clients from teams such as Frax Finance, Gitcoin, ETHDenver, and The Ethereum Foundation.

Sam Kazemian is the Founder of Frax Finance. In this episode, we go deep with one of DeFi's most accomplished builders. Sam launched Frax Finance in 2020, being one of the earliest stablecoins to launch in the new era following DeFi Summer. We talk with Sam about how Frax has managed to thrive in such a competitive sector of DeFi, while leveraging a positive-sum strategy to not only grow Frax stablecoins but also some of their fiercest competitors. We also discuss their newest stablecoin pegged to 1 ETH called frxETH, which as of this recording, is #4 in total staked ETH among LSTs just behind Rocket Pool (even though frxETH isn't intended as an LST)!

I love Frax Finance and FPI but I broke a couple of my rules and not FPIS is down 25% Here are the investment rules I broke: - Don't invest based on emotions and excitement or sense of urgency - DCA buy in and start with a small amount. (Air drop was enough for now) - Don't invest until you understand deeply. (Docs on the project aren't even out yet) - Degens dumped it because there aren't good farming options. New releases usually dump at first. Market cap was wrong. I didn't look at fully diluted value. What I cover: 00:00 Intro 01:04 Buying with urgency 01:47 Not understanding your investment 02:45 Buying at launch 05:01 Math error 07:28 Why you need investing rules 08:38 Outro ------------------------------------------------------- Join me on Discord: https://discord.gg/sc28FPVyv2 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT4X1qiEPR0gsZYfze6JOyA Twitter: https://twitter.com/davelevine0com

Guests:Bennett Tomlin (twitter.com/bennetttomlin)Sam Kazemian (twitter.com/samkazemian)Host:Richard Yan (twitter.com/gentso09)Today's motion is “Algo and fraction stablecoins are flawed.”A good stablecoin can sustainably hold its peg, and recover quickly from a premium or discount. This is a basic requirement for stablecoins. An obvious design is the bank coin model, where coins are backed 1-to-1 by fiat. But this creates a single point of failure and incurs compliance overhead. Hence MakerDAO, which made a smart contract driven stablecoin, and is de-coupled from the banking system. But it requires over-collateralization. So new designs popped up and tried to make the next capital-efficient stablecoin to allow under-collateralization, with innovative collateral adjustment mechanisms. We call these algorithmic and fractional stablecoins. Historically, most of these coins failed to hold their pegs. Is there a fundamental problem? Or can these challenges be overcome?The two debaters today include the founder of an algo/fractional stablecoin that has been holding its peg relatively well since launch, that is about half a year, as well as a well-known critic of various stablecoins.If you're into crypto and like to hear two sides of the story, be sure to also check out our previous episodes. We've featured some of the best known thinkers in the crypto space.If you would like to debate or want to nominate someone, please DM me at @blockdebate on Twitter.Please note that nothing in our podcast should be construed as financial advice.Source of select items discussed in the debate (and supplemental material):Dragonfly research on FRAX stablecoin: https://medium.com/dragonfly-research/a-visual-explanation-of-frax-bcce72c1730fBennett Tomlin article on FEI stablecoin: https://bennettftomlin.substack.com/p/fei-protocol-analysis-last-reminderFrax stablecoin: https://frax.finance/Bennett Tomlin blog (mostly crypto): https://bennettftomlin.substack.com/Maker DAO's Black Thursday: https://medium.com/@whiterabbit_hq/black-thursday-for-makerdao-8-32-million-was-liquidated-for-0-dai-36b83cac56b6Guest bios:Bennett Tomlin regularly publishes articles about fraud in the crypto space via his blog.

Sam also started Everipedia, the first decentralized online encyclopedia on the blockchain.

Frax Finance founder Sam Kazemian stops by today. He and Dave go in-depth on why Frax is the most symbiotic money lego of DeFi. They also discuss a crypto-friendly take on the US economy, NFTs, and what it takes to be a good buidler in crypto and DeFi. They end the conversation by sharing their favorite memory from Everipedia, where they worked and built together. #TheDeFiScoop pod is where our host Dave Liebowitz chats with cool peeps about everything DeFi, and of course, the latest scoop. — Gelato Network is a protocol that automates smart contract executions on Ethereum and beyond.
