[FIP - 424] Leviathan News Partnership Proposal

Overview

Leviathan News proposes a strategic partnership with Frax Finance to deliver high-quality media coverage, educational content, and ecosystem analysis. By leveraging Leviathan News' established platform and expertise, we aim to elevate the Frax ecosystem's visibility and engagement within the crypto and DeFi communities.

• Comprehensive weekly updates on Frax's latest developments and ecosystem news.
• Published on Leviathan News' blog, enhancing Frax's visibility across the crypto audience.

2. Monthly Podcast: "Frax & Friends"

• A dedicated podcast hosted by Samuel McCulloch and featuring guests from the Frax ecosystem.
• Episodes will explore Frax's innovations, ecosystem partners, and industry relevance.

3. Quarterly Reports: Comprehensive Frax Ecosystem Analysis

• Detailed reports covering Frax's ecosystem, performance, and updates.

Funding Request

In return for delivering the above, Leviathan News requests 12,000 FXS, streamed to the Convex Squid/WETH LP locker on Fraxtal over 1 year. This funding will support operational costs, content creation, and ecosystem engagement activities.
