Introduction to Curve Finance

Curve Finance is a cornerstone of decentralized finance (DeFi), specializing in stablecoin liquidity and yield optimization. Launched in 2020, it has evolved into one of the largest DeFi protocols by Total Value Locked (TVL), offering traders exceptionally low slippage and liquidity providers (LPs) attractive yields.

Protocol Overview: Curve operates as an automated market maker (AMM) optimized specifically for stablecoins and pegged assets. Unlike traditional AMMs that use a constant product formula (x*y=k), Curve employs a specialized algorithm to maintain stable pricing and minimize impermanent loss.

At its core, Curve solves a critical problem in DeFi: providing efficient liquidity for assets that should trade at or near the same price. This mechanism has become essential infrastructure for the broader DeFi ecosystem, supporting everything from stablecoin swaps to yield farming strategies.

Core Functionality

How Curve Works

Liquidity Pools

Users deposit assets (e.g., USDC, DAI) into pools, which are algorithmically balanced to maintain efficient pricing. These pools form the backbone of Curve's trading infrastructure.

Low Slippage

Curve's algorithm concentrates liquidity around market prices, enabling large trades with minimal price impact. This makes it ideal for stablecoins and wrapped versions of the same asset.
