Curve

Liquidity provision on Curve Finance pools

What this yield is

• Protocol: Curve Finance AMM
• Networks: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, Sonic
• Receipt token: Curve LP token (e.g., 3CRV, 2CRV, stETH/ETH)
• Rewards: Trading fees (reflected in LP token price appreciation)

Curve is a decentralized AMM optimized for efficient trading between assets with similar price behavior — stablecoins, LSTs, LRTs, and closely correlated tokens.

Pool types

Stablecoin pools

Pools for USD-pegged assets with minimal impermanent loss.

Examples: USDC/USDT, crvUSD/stables, 3CRV (DAI/USDC/USDT)

LST/LRT pools

Pools for liquid staking and restaking tokens pegged to ETH.

Examples: stETH/ETH, frxETH/WETH, rETH/wstETH, ezETH/WETH

Meta-pools

Pools referencing other LP tokens for deeper liquidity.

Examples: LUSD/3CRV, FRAX/3CRV, MIM/3CRV

Tricrypto

Multi-asset pools combining USD, BTC, and ETH exposure.

Examples: TricryptoUSDC, TricryptoUSDT, TricryptoLLAMA

BTC pools

Pools for Bitcoin-pegged assets.

Examples: tBTC/WBTC, renBTC/WBTC, cbBTC/WBTC

How it works

1. Add liquidity

   Deposit one or more pool assets into a Curve pool

2. Receive LP token

   Get the Curve LP token representing your pool share

3. Earn fees

   Trading fees accrue via LP token price appreciation (price-per-share)

4. Remove liquidity

   Burn LP tokens to receive underlying assets plus earned fees

Key considerations

Impermanent loss

Curve pools are LP positions. Users are exposed to relative price movements between pool assets. Even stablecoin pools carry IL risk if one asset depegs.

Multi-asset deposits

Some pools are 2-asset (USDC/USDT), others are N-asset (3pool, 4pool), and some are meta-pools (LUSD/3CRV). Users can deposit all available assets or a single asset.

APY variability

APY depends on trading volume. High-volume periods generate more fees; quiet periods generate less. APY is not fixed.

Gauge rewards

Some pools have gauges offering additional CRV rewards. Check individual pool details for incentive availability.
