Curve Finance is a decentralized exchange (DEX) optimized for stablecoin and wrapped asset trading. Launched in 2020 by Michael Egorov, Curve has become a cornerstone of the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) ecosystem by offering ultra-low slippage, low fees, and high capital efficiency. Unlike traditional DEXs, which focus on volatile asset swaps, Curve is designed to excel in trading assets that maintain a relatively constant value, such as USDT, USDC, DAI, or wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC).
