Flux DAI

What is fDAI? Each asset supported by the Flux Finance Protocol is integrated through a fToken contract, which is a representation of balances supplied to the protocol. fTokens, such as fDAI, are a fork of Compound V2's cTokens, with additional functionality to support permissioned assets.

What Makes fDAI Unique? fDAI is minted when users deposit DAI on Flux Finance. By doing so, the user's DAI will become available to borrowers, and the user will earn the DAI supply rate. fDAI increases in value relative to the underlying DAI, meaning users can redeem more assets over time as interest is earned. The interest rate earned by lenders fluctuates and depends on the market's utilization (i.e. the percentage of deposited assets that have been borrowed).

History of fDAI In January 2023, Flux was announced as a decentralized lending protocol that can support permissionless cryptoassets alongside permissioned tokens. The protocol was initially developed by Ondo Finance, a software development firm in DeFi, before being sold to Flux Finance.

Flux is governed by the Ondo DAO, in which ONDO holders vote to upgrade its code and alter its risk parameters.
