Risk Factors for FRAX
- !FXS token still plays a role in the ecosystem — FXS price decline creates reflexive risk
- !AMO dependencies on Curve, Convex, and Aave mean Frax is exposed to those protocols' bugs
- !The transition from fractional to full collateral has been slow and creates market confusion
- !FRAX supply has declined from $3B+ peak to under $700M — significant market share loss
- !Fraxtal L2 and ecosystem expansion increase complexity and potential failure points
- !Frax v3 migration adds transition risk for existing FRAX holders

Risk Mitigation Tips
- +Diversify across multiple stablecoins — never hold all funds in a single issuer
- +Monitor reserve attestations and audit reports published by Frax Finance
- +Use hardware wallets for self-custody to eliminate exchange counterparty risk
- +Set price alerts below $0.995 to react quickly if FRAX begins to de-peg
- +Only deploy into yield strategies you fully understand — complexity multiplies risk
