Curve (Ethereum)
Curve is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol like Compound that I shared in the last post. This is built on the Ethereum blockchain that specializes in providing efficient and low-slippage liquidity for stablecoins. It was launched in January 2020. This is a leading platform in the DeFi space. With the help of this DeFi protocol, users can swap stablecoins with minimal price slippage. It is attracting significant volumes of stablecoin trading and liquidity provision. For these reasons, it is basically the ideal platform for stablecoin traders and liquidity providers. Traditional DEX uses the order book model but Curve utilizes an automated market maker (AMM) mechanism to provide liquidity.
Curve's AMM pools consist of multiple stablecoins. All are pegged to the same value. There are various versions of USD-pegged stablecoins like USDC, USDT, DAI, etc. By having similar values, the stablecoins in the pool create low-slippage trading pairs. Swap between them with a minimal price is ensured in this way. Curve has another cool feature like the "constant sum AMM" algorithm. This is designed to maximize the efficiency of stablecoin swaps. This algorithm enables users to trade between stablecoins at a close-to-peg exchange rate. Traders like this mechanism very much. Curve's design has made it an essential liquidity provider in the DeFi space.
Many DeFi lending platforms and yield farming protocols depend on Curve to access reliable and low-slippage stablecoin liquidity. Curve’s interface is efficient and straightforward. It is easy for traders and liquidity providers to use. Curve offers other types of pools that provide liquidity for other assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). These pools are designed to optimize trading between similar assets. This is offering low-slippage swaps for users.
