Fee Switch Activated!
Fee switch has been activated! Now veFXS stakers have started earning nearly $400k of fees this week.
— Frax Finance ¤⛓️¤ (@fraxfinance) April 3, 2024
Keep in mind, this is in addition to a similar amount of revenue that goes into the FXS Liquidity Engine (buying back $FXS & adding to protocol owned liquidity). 🚀 https://t.co/BUJuMfZBCd
After more than 2 years, Frax has turned the fee switch back on! $400k was added to the distribution contract for veFXS, marking one of the highest payout periods in Frax's existence.
Frax isn't even on these charts yet. No one knows how much money the protocol is even making. https://t.co/QA3EE0qEHt

Turning the fee switch back on now adds a new layer of value to FXS. Hopefully we start to see new FXS locked as veFXS over the coming months and also the Convex peg returning to 1:1.
On June 13 2023, MKR price was $633. Buybacks began one month later and price was $923. Forward to today and MKR is $3724.

Frax buyback voting ends today. Price is $7.56. What will it be in one month? What will it be in 8?
Based on other protocol's, FXS most likely will experience positive price adjustments now that it's yielding. At current rates this is 13.35% with a max lock, and given that Frax is about to add $250m of FRAX to Ethena's sUSDe, this figure might double. Exciting times ahead.

A massive new AMO proposal from the Core Team dropped this week, as they have recommended a $250m cap for sUSDe and USDe LPs on Curve. This would be the two largest AMO's ever voted on in Frax's history and would potentially bring significant revenues to the protocol.
Discussion
- Standardize ragequit proposals and make it a feature and not a bug
- [FIP - 3XX] Authorize Fraxlend AMO for new pairs ( sUSDe/FRAX, USDe/FRAX )
- Add Squid/wfrxETH to FXS gauge controller
- Add zunETH/frxETH to FXS gauge controller
- Add Curve BobrCRV/wfrxETH to the FXS gauge controller on Fraxtal
Voting
- [FIP - 342] Ragequit rETH/frxETH with a 4% fee
- [FIP - 343] Unlock staked XAIFRAXBP3CRV-f due to XAI sunsetting
- [FIP - 344,345] Add a new markets into Fraxlend on Ethereum (ezETH/frxETH, rsETH/frxETH)
