About Curve Finance#

Curve Finance, a Decentralized Exchange (DEX), launched in 2020, is used for trading stablecoins. The platform's Automated Market Maker (AMM) enables traders to exchange stablecoins like USDC, USDT, and DAI at lower slippage and swap fees than other DEXES.

This is made feasible by the liquidity pools offered by Curve Finance, where users can stake or deposit their tokens in exchange for a share of the platform's trading commissions and the protocol's native governance token $CRV.

Curve Finance has launched on a number of chains, including many of the layer 2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon, in order to address the issue of excessive gas prices on the Ethereum network.

Currently in its V2 phase, Curve Finance offers the DeFi ecosystem more efficient liquidity provision.

What Makes Curve Finance Unique?#

One of the protocol’s biggest differentiating features is that it focuses solely on stablecoins. As you’re probably aware, stablecoins are crypto assets that are pegged to the value of an underlying asset, usually a fiat currency such as the US Dollar, Euro, or Swiss Franc. This helps users and investors avoid the volatility commonly associated with tokens and cryptocurrencies.

Many DeFi protocols, including Compound and 1inch Exchange are integrated with Curve to take advantage of its stablecoin trading market. 

Financials#

Security#

Leading blockchain project auditing firms, such as Trail of bits, Quantstamp, and mixBytes, have audited the smart contracts of Curve Finance. However, it is crucial to highlight that security audits alone do not eliminate all threats, not least since there are a range of attack routes outside the scope of security audits.
