Curve is a decentralized exchange protocol that, through introducing coin liquidity via liquidity pools, enables the smooth exchange of cryptocurrencies and stable coins. In exchange for high-interest rates, liquidity providers add their cryptocurrency assets to the Curve’s liquidity pools. Curve’s liquidity pools are used across some of the largest DeFi platforms to add liquidity to their protocols and allow their users to exchange crypto assets seamlessly. Curve is the 8th largest DeFi protocol at the time of this writing with more than $845 million trapped in its liquidity pools. Not bad. In August 2020, Curve publicly released its CRV native governance token, and as of Dec. 18, 2020, its price is $0.6364. The CRV’s market value is 98 million dollars.
