Flox is the heartbeat of Frax's new L2 Fraxtal which I believe can propel it to top 5 in L2 TVL within a year.

Fraxlend Sees Fresh Round of Liquidations
![](https://ghost.flywheeldefi.com/content/images/2024/04/Screenshot-2024-04-12-at-2.57.17-PM.png)
Today the price of FXS fell 25% as of writing. This rapid decline in price led to a large round of liquidations on Fraxlend.
![](https://ghost.flywheeldefi.com/content/images/2024/04/Screenshot-2024-04-12-at-2.32.11-PM.png)
More than $2m worth of FXS was liquidated as the price fell rapidly below 6.

Truly blood in the streets today. *salute_emoji

FXS has now retraced its entire move over the last 6 months, running up to a high of $10.85, then selling off 53% as of today's prices.
While this is not the outcome a lot of people wanted to see, the lower prices does allow Frax to repurchase more FXS using the TWAMM.
