Curve Finance published its October 2026 monthly recap (and promoted it on X), tying together the month's main milestones: StableSwap went live on Stellar (its first non-EVM deployment, built for Soroban), and Llamalend V2 opened its first market backed by a Curve LP position — the reUSD/sfrxUSD LP token (ethereum:0x57ab...) can now be used as collateral and looped for crvUSD loans.
Curve framed the month as one focused on expanding where Curve runs and making LP positions productive as collateral.
DefiLlama launched new prediction markets built on Trueo, adding even more hack and revenue markets: weekly hack-size thresholds ($1M–$25M) and revenue markets for trade[xyz], fomo, Polymarket, Curve, and Lighter. Curve Finance responded with "Prediction are insurance. Curve is supported," pointing its audience to the fact that Curve is now one of the revenue markets where users can speculate on protocol performance.
Curve Finance announced StableSwap is live on Stellar mainnet, its first deployment built for a chain outside the EVM, promoting the launch with the tagline "All routes lead to Curve. Now from @StellarOrg, too." Because Stellar doesn't run the EVM, Curve rebuilt StableSwap from the ground up for Soroban, Stellar's smart-contract platform, with support from the Stellar Development Foundation — and per Curve, the math is unchanged.
Techdollar, a USDte stablecoin issuer, is proposing to add the USDte/USDT pool on Ethereum to the Curve Gauge Controller, likely setting up CRV emissions for that pool. Curve retweeted the proposal announcement.
Curve Finance announced its "permissionless propAMM" is live for voting, with an on-chain ownership proposal (#1508) now active through Oct 29, 2026 on the Curve DAO. The vote would attach the YBOraclizedPolicy contract to the YieldBasis crvUSD/WETH pool, pricing swaps off signed Pyth Pro ETH/USD reports rather than pool balances alone.
Curve says an informed pool can offer much tighter spreads and convert a larger share of mispricing into pool revenue rather than arbitrage profits. Per the forum post, the pool has been earning less than its re-leverage costs in low-volatility conditions, which this change is designed to fix.
Curve Finance announced the first-ever borrowing against a Curve pool LP token on Curve. Users can now put the reUSD/sfrxUSD LP token up as collateral on Llamalend to borrow crvUSD, while continuing to earn CRV emissions and trading fees on the position.
Curve Finance shared a brief note pointing to new experiments in its IPFS + ENS-hosted frontend, inviting users to check them out. No further details on the specific changes were provided in the post.
Curve Finance highlighted frankencoin's svZCHF as a new use case for its lending stack: users can swap any token into svZCHF directly on the Curve swap page, then use it on a fresh Llamalend v2 market as collateral for a crvUSD loan.
Curve Finance's staked stablecoin scrvUSD is now listed on Flying Tulip Lend, the lending protocol's newest supported asset. The listing gives scrvUSD holders access to lending markets on Flying Tulip, with crvUSD described as a censorship-resistant USD stablecoin.
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 launched StableSwap on Stellar's Soroban smart-contract platform, marking its first deployment built for a chain outside the EVM. FXSwap is planned next once its audit completes.
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.
