Coin verdict · DeFi / stable swap · Updated 2026-04-26
Curve is an Ethereum-based AMM specialised in stablecoin swaps and pegged-asset trading. CRV is the governance token, with veCRV vote-escrow boosting yields. The protocol's principal revenue derives from swap fees on lending/borrowing-anchored stablecoin pools and yield-farming structures that route through interest-bearing collateral. Per our framework, the protocol-level revenue model fails the riba gate.
