Curve Finance Implements CoW Protocol for Fee Collection
🐮 Curve's Moo-ving Upgrade
Curve Finance has integrated CoW Protocol's Programmatic Order Framework into its fee collection mechanism. This new system allows Curve to automatically collect fees from AMM pools and efficiently swap them into a unified token without manual intervention. The process involves four components: a fee collector, CoW Swap burner, hooker, and fee distributor smart contracts. Initial results show that orders processed through this system have achieved, on average, 75% more CRVUSD tokens than requested, demonstrating superior performance compared to hard-coded execution paths. This implementation enables Curve to submit orders without predetermining prices, ensuring fair market rates and reducing maintenance requirements.
