Curve Finance is an automated market maker optimised for low‑slippage swaps between like‑priced assets such as stablecoins and liquid staking tokens. Its stableswap invariant and meta‑pools keep price impact below 0.05 % even at million‑dollar clip sizes, while veCRV bribing aligns long‑term liquidity incentives. Curve currently handles > $1 billion daily volume across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism and ten other chains.
Pendle splits yield‑bearing tokens into Principal (PT) and Yield (YT) tokens, enabling users to lock in fixed rates or speculate on future yield. A permissionless AMM with a custom logit bonding curve lets YT premiums track forward‑looking yield expectations. Pendle TVL grew 10× in 2024 on the back of LST and RWA integrations, and PENDLE governance now controls a large veToken bribe market.
