# True Freeze

[True Freeze](https://truefreeze.xyz) is an autonomous protocol allowing anyone to lock ETH out of circulation ("proof of patience") and mint frETH yield tokens and a tradeable Certificate of Deposit Freezer NFT for doing so.\
\
1\. Get paid to send ETH into the future.\
2\. Pay to bring ETH back to the present. \
\
That's it, that's the protocol.\
\
It is explicitly designed to be the least complicated and most accessible yield in all of DeFi by creating a free market mechanism to price the [time-preference rate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_preference) for ETH.\*\
\
\*Or other native tokens of EVM chains if/when launched on those chains.
