Love the Frax team, would be ecstatic to see them have a larger impression here on Arbitrum with their new releases coming. Grant size seems appropriate and there is a lot of compatibility with their product suite and the native protocols here on Arbitrum.

I support FRAX finance proposal and think grant size is appropriate.
Maybe need to see some matching from FRAX though

Good scope and Frax is good to everyone and we should be good to Frax.

I fully support the Frax Finance grant proposal for the Arbitrum ecosystem. This proposal outlines a strategic plan to leverage Frax Finance’s brand and community to attract users and assets to Arbitrum, contributing to a healthier and more competitive DeFi landscape.
Frax Finance’s commitment to incentivizing pools in a responsible manner, avoiding excessive yield shocks, aligns with the goal of fostering long-term engagement rather than just attracting short-term speculative capital. The focus on completing the trio of decentralized stablecoins alongside USDC and USDT is a smart move that benefits the ecosystem’s diversification.
The proposed KPIs offer clear and measurable benchmarks for success, providing transparency and accountability. Additionally, the responsible fiscal management demonstrated by planning to return excess grant funds to the Arbitrum DAO Treasury shows a commitment to the sustainability of the ecosystem.

Imagine not supporting FRAX.
Frax is by far the most defi intergrated project there is.
They have an excellent understanding of systems. A huge community of supporters , both in TVL terms, and technical understanding.
They’ve proven themselves to be efficient, supportive, and insightful.

Frax outlines a multifaceted approach for increasing FRAX usage and creating capital flows to Arbitrum. Their suggestions can help create a healthier and more sustainable landscape for stablecoins and liquid staked ETH on Arbitrum as well. We’ll be showing support for this proposal.

Blockworks Research supports this proposal and deems the requested amount of 1,500,000 ARB justified based on, among other things, the anticipated sustainable impact on, and goodwill to, the ecosystem, metrics such as TVL / volume / fees on Arbitrum and overall, a comparative analysis of all submitted STIP proposals, the distribution of incentives across verticals, as well as, to a certain extent, the recommendations made by the Arbitrum Working Group through the four grant categories.

A bit late, but I’d like to add that it’s been a pleasure to work with the Frax team and the Frax ecosystem. With V3, there’s so much to look forward to that helps the DeFi space flourish more overall. Happy to support their proposal.

Considering that Frax Finance has been a part of the decentralized finance ecosystem for quite some time and has proven itself in many stablecoin crises, we believe that with the incentive requested under the STIP framework, Frax Finance will expand its roots in the Arbitrum ecosystem and achieve its goals.
