f(x) Protocol fully supports this manifesto. DeFi only works without opaque or centralized intermediaries. fxUSD, fxMINT, and fxSAVE run fully onchain, transparently, and with decentralization built in! On Ethereum. If it isn’t trustless, it isn’t DeFi.
4/ Calling pledge(): - Records your address and the timestamp of your first pledge - Emits a public Pledged(address, timestamp) event - Costs only gas - Gives you no airdrop, no points, no early access It’s not about perks. It’s about values.

💡 QUIZ TIME: Test your knowledge about #fxMINT! When you borrow fxUSD against your ETH/BTC using fxMINT, are you protected from liquidations? 🤔 ⬇️ Solution in comments 👇
While $USDC / $USDT borrow rates on Aave are spiking above 7.7% APY, you can mint $fxUSD at 0% interest using fxMINT. And if you’d like to leverage or loop via @eulerfinance, borrowing $fxUSD there costs only ~5.7% APY. Get fxUSD 👇 https://t.co/o3Bp7Ui0CI

📈 Smart economics at work in @protocol_fx wstETH yield distribution changes at growth milestones. As fxUSD grows, veFXN holders receive a larger share of protocol revenue while SP continues to earn protocol fees and Aave lending yield. This is sustainable DeFi growth 💪
