Curve Finance and yRiskLabs announced a collaboration launching an asset review series, beginning with 3Jane's USD3, a yield-bearing stablecoin. The series will publish structured reviews of DeFi assets, starting with USD3, which 3Jane describes as a credit-backed yieldcoin backed by a pool of credit lines.

Curve's liquidity infrastructure is now live on Arc, Circle's new blockchain network purpose-built for stablecoins. The deployment gives stablecoin users on Arc access to Curve's swapping and liquidity pools.
Curve's frxUSD PegKeeper program with Frax Finance, pairing frxUSD with yield-bearing sUSDai, had a busy August. On-chain minting of frxUSD (ethereum:0xf939…1b4e) nearly doubled, the peg stayed within 6.1 bps, and ResupplyFi received more $sreUSD capacity within the PegKeeper framework.
August also saw LlamaLend V2 borrowing rise 45% as part of the broader Curve ecosystem update.
DAMM Capital is introducing FX LatAm markets on Arbitrum, letting users access Twin Finance stablecoin markets through Curve. The launch starts with latam-dollar pairs, extending crypto-native access to Latin American currency exposure via Curve's liquidity infrastructure.
Yield Basis is running a governance vote in which veYB holders can vote on parameters that would let @coinbase cbBTC and @TheTNetwork tBTC earn more on the platform, similar to how WBTC is handled. The exact parameter changes are being decided in the vote and have yet to be finalized.

Curve's annual CRV emission schedule drops again with the start of Epoch 6, cutting issuance from roughly 115.5M to 97.2M CRV/year (~15.9%). The reduction marks the first time annual emissions fall below 100 million CRV. Like prior August cuts, the change reflects Curve's fixed schedule of periodic emission reductions rather than a one-off adjustment.

Curve is asking the community to select a new risk provider for its lending and crvUSD infrastructure, calling it crucial for how fast and safely Curve lending and crvUSD can grow. The vote is a signal vote where only "yes" votes are summed and "no" votes are ignored, with one vote per provider made.
Curve is reminding users to withdraw funds from CrossCurve pools, as withdrawal functionality has been restored for several additional networks during the CrossCurve bridge recovery process. Funds still remain in the old bridge contracts across multiple networks.

Curve's July 2026 recap highlights Llamalend V2 reaching Ethereum mainnet, a big step for its lending stack. Average crvUSD borrow rates fell by nearly two-thirds over the month, and borrower-minted crvUSD grew 29%. The figures point to deeper lending activity and cheaper borrowing as the new Llamalend architecture expands beyond its earlier deployments.
Zerion is introducing an AI-assisted way to exit Curve DeFi positions, where an agent works out the route while users review and sign every transaction. Withdrawals are run via Zerion CLI with a prompt in Claude Code.
Several Curve pools were drained of roughly $61–70 million through reentrancy attacks exploiting a malfunctioning reentrancy guard in older versions of the Vyper compiler. A majority of the drained funds was subsequently returned and Curve said it would reimburse affected users.
Curve Finance deployed its native overcollateralized stablecoin crvUSD on the Ethereum mainnet, with a full public launch following later in May 2023.
The CRV token and Curve DAO contracts were deployed, introducing the vote-escrowed CRV (veCRV) model that gave liquidity providers and token holders governance over the protocol. The contracts were deployed by an anonymous community member using publicly reviewed code.
Founder Michael Egorov launched the first version of Curve, a low-slippage stablecoin AMM built in Vyper, on the Ethereum mainnet. It reached $500,000 in total value locked within 10 days.
