What is Curve Finance?
Curve Finance is an automated market maker - similar to other popular Ethereum vexes like Uniswap - but what sets it apart is Curve allows for liquidity pools made up of more than two pairs, provided those assets behave in a similar manner. For example, you could have a liquidity pool with multiple stablecoins in it, or multiple versions of wrapped Bitcoin. This means users benefit from lower slippage, lower fees, and a reduced risk of impermanent loss.
How does it work?
Curve Finance works in a similar fashion to other automated market makers. The protocol utilizes liquidity pools instead of arranging trades between buyers and sellers using an order book.
Anyone, anywhere can use Curve to trade tokens, as well as opt to provide liquidity to earn a share of the fees relating to that pool. CRV token
