Frax & Analog Case Study: A Builder’s Guide to Scaling Stablecoins Across Chains

Analog’s Cross-Chain Communication Infrastructure

Analog is creating this infrastructure with three core innovations:

• General Message Passing (GMP): A trust minimized framework for secure cross chain smart contract execution, allowing protocols to interact across chains without relying on centralized bridges.

• Analog Watch: Our data querying protocol which allows builders to easily access and interact with real-time data across various blockchains through a unified API.

• Timechain: Our decentralized, permissionless accountability layer for the Analog ecosystem that records and verifies cross-chain interactions, maintaining consistency and security across all transactions.

With GMP executing smart contracts across chains, Analog Watch ensuring real-time and consistent data availability, and Timechain acting as the immutable ledger for all cross-chain interactions, Analog provides a complete infrastructure for seamless cross-chain communication.

This means that projects like Frax can:

• Facilitate governance participation across multiple chains without requiring users to bridge assets.

• Access accurate, real-time price data across chains, eliminating discrepancies that can lead to inefficiencies in DeFi markets.

• Automate cross-chain data updates and messaging, ensuring that all network participants operate with the latest information, regardless of the blockchain they interact with.

• Abstract away the complexities of different chain architectures, allowing Frax to maintain interoperability without worrying about differences in smart contract languages or execution environments.

How Frax Finance Leverages Analog's Tech

Frax Finance is one of the most prominent stablecoin protocols in DeFi, but like many liquidity protocols, it faces the challenge of cross-chain fragmentation. Our integration will solve this in three key ways:

• Cross-Chain Oracle Data: Frax will use Analog Watch to provide real-time, tamper-resistant price feeds for FXS and FRAX pairs across chains.

• Cross-Chain Governance: GMP allows veFXS holders to participate in governance on Ethereum and their native Fraxchain, unlocking true decentralized decision-making across networks.

• Automated Cross-Chain Messaging: Our upcoming automation product will also streamline network wide communication, automatically updating vault data and executing cross-chain governance actions for Frax.

The Road Ahead

With integrations like Frax, Analog is laying the groundwork for a fully interoperable DeFi landscape, one where protocols can seamlessly communicate across blockchains, ensuring their ecosystems remain synchronized and efficient.

As more projects adopt GMP, Watch, and Timechain, DeFi moves closer to a future where liquidity, governance, and data flow freely across chains.

So if you're looking to join the cross chain revolution and start building with Analog today, dive into our developer docs!

The future of DeFi depends on solving cross-chain fragmentation. Analog is providing the infrastructure to make that future a reality.
