Frax Price Index Price(FPI)

The Frax Price Index (FPI) is a stablecoin within the Frax Finance ecosystem, launched in April 2022. It is notable for being pegged to a basket of real-world consumer items, specifically the US Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) average. The primary goal of FPI is to maintain its purchasing power and function as an inflation-resistant asset. It aims to establish a new unit of account for denominating transactions, value, and debt within the Web3 space. FPI's stability mechanism relies on the CPI-U's unadjusted 12-month inflation rate, which is reported by the US Federal Government. A Chainlink oracle brings this data on-chain immediately after its public release. This inflation rate is then applied to the redemption price of FPI stablecoins within the system's smart contracts. The redemption price of FPI is designed to grow over time in alignment with inflation, or decline in cases of deflation, ensuring its value reflects the changing cost of the underlying basket of goods. The FPI peg calculation rate updates every 30 days when new CPI data is released. Similar to the Frax Finance ecosystem's first stablecoin, FRAX, FPI utilizes Algorithmic Market Operations (AMOs) contracts. These AMOs are on-chain and help manage FPI's assets and market operations, aiming to maintain a 100% collateral ratio at all times. FPI seeks to ground on-chain economics by providing a stablecoin that reflects real-world asset baskets. It can be used for purposes such as denominating Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) treasuries and measuring revenue. The Frax Price Index Share (FPIS) is the governance token associated with the FPI system. Holders of FPIS can participate in the governance of the FPI stablecoin, including decisions related to its CPI peg properties. FPIS holders are also entitled to a share of the seigniorage generated by the protocol. Learn more
