Frax launches Fraxtal, its new L2. Check out the new site at Frax.com and read the docs

Frax Finance has launched Fraxtal, a new Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) modular rollup blockchain positioned as a core infrastructure layer for the Frax ecosystem. The launch was announced on February 7 via Frax’s official channels, with Frax.com designated as the main hub for Fraxtal documentation, the L2 bridge interface, and related resources. At launch, testnet and mainnet access were opened to selected partners, with broader user access following shortly after. Fraxtal is built using the OP Stack, making it an EVM-equivalent rollup where applications can be deployed with similar speed, security, and cost profiles to other OP Stack chains like Optimism and Base. It is designed as a modular rollup, with separate components such as a dedicated data availability module developed by the Frax core team, and a roadmap for “fractal scaling” that envisions additional layers (L3s) and connections to other networks. The chain integrates with major Ethereum infrastructure providers at launch, including an Etherscan instance (Fraxscan) and support from protocols such as Safe, Chainlink, Axelar, and LayerZero. A key differentiator is Fraxtal’s blockspace incentive system, known as Flox, and its associated Fraxtal Point System (FXTL). Every epoch, users and smart contract developers who spend gas on Fraxtal receive FXTL points calculated by the Flox algorithm, with points intended to be convertible into tokens at a later stage. This structure is designed to make on-chain activity net-rewarding for both users and developers, aligning incentives to attract liquidity, protocol deployments, and usage to Fraxtal. The chain uses FRAX as its native gas token according to the official documentation, tying the L2’s economic activity directly to the Frax stablecoin ecosystem.
