The Frax Price Index Share (FPIS) is the governance token of the Frax Price Index (FPI) stablecoin launched by Frax Finance in April of 2022.

Overview

FPIS is interconnected to the Frax Share (FXS) token thus it is referred to as a "linked governance token." The FXS & FPIS are economically linked programmatically in a similar way that a layer 1 token is connected to a dapp token on its network.

FPIS tracks FPI growth specifically similar to a specific ERC20 token tracks growth of its own protocol rather than the entire L1 economy. The Frax Collateral Ratio (FCR) is the ratio of FRAX stablecoins directly backing FPI tokens. The FCR is directly calculated before value distribution to FPIS & veFPIS token holders. The FCR specifically is used for FXS value capture of the system.

Whenever excess FPI balance sheet value is distributed back to FPIS token holders, it will pass through an "FCR contract" or function call that calculates how much "FRAX collateral FPI uses."

Frax Staking

Frax Finance protocol allows FPIS holders to lock up FPIS tokens to generate yield on Fraxswap.

Token Distribution

No FPIS tokens can be minted over the 100m genesis supply except to keep the FPI peg to the CPI rate and keep the CR constant at 100%.
