Curve DAO (CRV) is the native governance token of Curve Finance, a decentralized exchange built on Ethereum that operates as an Automated Market Maker focused on efficient swaps between similarly priced assets. Rather than competing across the full token spectrum, the protocol is optimized for like-kind assets, particularly stablecoins such as DAI, USDC, and USDT, allowing users to trade between them with low slippage. Curve Finance also accommodates yield-bearing and synthetic tokens, including wrapped variants that track the value of their underlying assets, making it a core piece of DeFi infrastructure for liquidity provision. Beyond standard swaps, the protocol enables yield farming, where liquidity providers earn returns from swap fees, underlying asset yields, and CRV token rewards. The DAO structure allows CRV holders to participate in governance decisions affecting the protocol, including parameter adjustments and emissions. Curve Finance is deployed across multiple blockchain environments, extending its reach across the broader DeFi ecosystem while remaining anchored to Ethereum.
