About Curve Dao (CRV)

Curve DAO with its CRV token is a decentralized autonomous organization which works as a liquidity aggregator for stablecoins. It helps to exchange stablecoins and gain fees in return. Besides, as the platform operates with only stablecoin exchanges, there are little risks conjugated. Stablecoins are coins of the least slippage and are not prone to significant price changes. The platform is created on the Ethereum blockchain. It utilizes the Aragon tool which connects different smart contracts into a united ecosystem. CRV is the native utility token of the Curve DAO. The platform is monetized by charging percent of the transaction fees.
