Can you verify Frax (FRAX) reserves yourself?

Partly attestor-requiredCrypto-collateralizedReserve leg: Partly on-chain

You can read part of FRAX's backing on-chain yourself; the rest rests on an off-chain layer you take on an attestation. Do not trust the issuer, and do not trust us. This page reads FRAX's live supply straight from the chain and shows you, honestly, where verification ends and trust begins.

Issued by Frax Finance. It is not an audit, a rating, or a solvency opinion, and FRAX appearing here is not an endorsement. "Partly attestor-required" describes the structure of the verification, not the quality of the issuer.
