Fraxtal

Fraxtal is a modular Layer 2 blockchain built using Optimism's technology stack, designed to provide scalable and efficient transaction processing while leveraging the security of Ethereum's Layer 1. It integrates tightly with the Frax ecosystem, using the FRAX token as its native gas currency, which aligns incentives within the Frax protocol and supports a seamless user experience for DeFi applications and other smart contracts deployed on Fraxtal. The modular design allows for flexibility in upgrading and customizing the chain to meet evolving developer and user needs.

The platform is intended for infrastructure developers and DeFi teams looking to deploy scalable dapps with lower gas costs and faster finality compared to Ethereum mainnet. Fraxtal supports activities such as contract creation, transaction execution, and farming within the Frax ecosystem, rewarding users with Fraxtal Points (FXTL) for contributing to network utility. This incentivization mechanism encourages active participation and ecosystem growth.

Getting started with Fraxtal involves integrating with its Layer 2 environment via standard Ethereum-compatible tooling, as it inherits Optimism's EVM compatibility. Developers can deploy smart contracts using Solidity and interact with the network using familiar Ethereum RPC endpoints. Comprehensive documentation is available through Frax's docs portal, covering technical details, tokenomics, and integration guides. Fraxtal's design emphasizes composability with existing Ethereum DeFi protocols while offering enhanced scalability and native token incentives.
