The ve-tokenomics model continues to gain significant traction in the DeFi ecosystem. Originally pioneered by Curve Finance, this voting-escrow tokenomics model has now been adopted by multiple major protocols.
- Ve-tokenomics allows token holders to lock tokens for voting rights and rewards
- Model incentivizes long-term holding and protocol participation
- Industry adoption has grown from zero to widespread use in just 4 years
The increasing implementation of ve-tokenomics demonstrates a maturing DeFi ecosystem focused on sustainable tokenomics and user alignment.
Another project to use ve-tokenomics. Needless to say, it's very llama-aligned

Curve Finance Proposes Market-Driven Fee Optimization
Curve Finance has introduced a proposal for implementing market-driven fee optimization mechanisms. The key points include: - Allowing the free market to determine optimal fee structures - Building on previous governance decisions from Nov 2024 that enabled fee share increases up to 20% - Integration with scrvUSD parameter improvements for sustainable fee growth The proposal aims to create more efficient pricing while maintaining system sustainability. Fee adjustments will only activate when system earnings exceed operational costs.
