Frax FPI FAQs
What is Frax FPI?
FPI is designed to track the value of a basket based on the US CPI-U, rather than maintain a fixed one-dollar price. Its design uses on-chain stability mechanisms, but that does not guarantee it will meet its target.
Is FPIS the same as FPI?
FPIS is the token associated with the FPI system; it is distinct from FPI, the stablecoin. Check the current Frax documentation before acquiring either token, since their roles and mechanics can differ.
How do you buy or redeem Frax FPI?
The available details do not establish current fees, redemption terms, or a complete set of supported networks for using FPI. Check the current Frax app and documentation before connecting a wallet or moving funds.
