Entity structure
The protocol is DAO governed onchain while offchain reserves and regulatory interfaces run through Frax Inc, a Delaware public benefit corporation that holds reserves at cost without charging fees to the protocol. Reserve custody is distributed across enshrined custodian contracts tied to regulated tokenized funds. FraxNet is the account layer for minting, redeeming, and earning on frxUSD.

Regulation
frxUSD is governed by the Frax DAO and fully backed by tokenized US Treasury funds held via enshrined custodians including Securitize BUIDL, Superstate USTB, and WisdomTree WTGXX. Under FIP-432 compliance, collateral management, and issuer functions were delegated to Frax Inc, a Delaware public benefit corporation formerly named FinresPBC, positioned as the prospective GENIUS Act charter applicant.
