f(x) Protocol launches v2.0, introducing fixed, zero-stress leverage trading on ETH with no funding fees or liquidations. Stability Pool users can earn triple yields through trading fees, ETH staking rewards, and FXN emissions. Initially, only xstETH and xfrxETH holders from V1 can migrate and open positions, with broader access after 80% migration. Leverage begins at 7X during the bootstrap phase, increasing to 10X upon stabilization. Thoroughly audited, f(x) v2.0 delivers a safer, smarter trading experience.
