The broader cryptocurrency market is down, with Bitcoin and Ether dropping 0.66% and 0.82% respectively, in the past 24 hours.

Frax Finance is moving to a permissionless setup with its upcoming Frax Ether V2, allowing anyone to run validators. Currently, the core team manages the validators in a curated list, but founder Sam Kazemian wants to change that, as he sees an "open-ended market" as the optimal approach. In the next iteration of Frax, users can become validators by posting ether (ETH) as collateral, borrowing a validator, and controlling it by paying an open market interest rate. This system will operate much like a decentralized lending market and is designed to be more efficient and trustless. Unlike rival liquid staking platform Lido, which relies on a curated list of validators, Frax Ether V2 aims to be completely decentralized without trust assumptions.
