๐ง Curve DAO Votes to Smooth Out crvUSD Borrow Rates

Curve Finance has put forward a governance proposal to adjust how crvUSD borrow rates respond to price changes. **What's changing:** - The proposal aims to make borrow rates **less dependent** on crvUSD price fluctuations - This creates a **less steep dependency** curve for rate adjustments - The change is part of ongoing efforts to smooth out the borrowing experience **Additional context:** - A separate proposal recently passed to increase the fee share cap for Savings crvUSD (scrvUSD) - This means scrvUSD depositors can earn higher yields during active market periods - Both proposals represent "tweaks in prod" - live adjustments to the protocol's economic parameters Vote on the proposal: [Curve DAO Proposal #1342](https://www.curve.finance/dao/ethereum/proposals/1342-ownership/)

๐๏ธ Aragon Launches Token Ownership Framework with Curve as Reference Case
Aragon Project has released its **Ownership Token Framework**, featuring Curve as a launch reference implementation. The framework demonstrates how programmatic mechanisms can transparently route value and control onchain. **Key developments:** - Framework emphasizes enforceable onchain ownership rights - Curve's bonding curve model serves as reference for transparent value routing - Part of Aragon's broader Token Ownership Index initiative The framework addresses a critical gap in crypto markets: **verifiable tokenholder rights**.

This builds on Aragon's 2026 commitment to improve token standards and market infrastructure.
