This **whitepaper describes the V1 version the DFract Protocol**, the full version that is envisioned down the road.\
\
**For now, DFract is in a Beta version** and will go through many steps before reaching its ultimate version.

In this Beta version, the DFract Protocol will **not implement any mechanism to swap back** $DFR against any other token. Hence $DFR holders won’t be able to claim back the assets they have provided originally on the application. Moreover, DFract users will only be able to buy $DFR with $USDC directly on the Protocol built on top of the Lum Network.\
