Curve, a widely used decentralized exchange known for its efficient stablecoin and pegged-asset trading, brings a trusted DeFi protocol to Etherlink. Built using Tezos’ Smart Rollup technology, Etherlink offers fast, low-cost transactions and native Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility—allowing seamless use of popular wallets like MetaMask.
Now that Curve is live, users can trade stablecoins on Etherlink with minimal slippage while staying within a familiar EVM environment. The launch has already contributed to Etherlink’s growing traction, with Curve attracting over $4.67 million in total value locked (TVL) shortly after going live.
Curve joins a roster of other DeFi protocols participating in the Apple Farm Season 2 campaign—including Superlend, Gearbox, and Lombard Finance—which collectively benefit from a $3 million reward pool for user interaction.
The integration positions Curve as a core component of Tezos’ evolving DeFi landscape and a potential backbone for stablecoin trading within the ecosystem. It also marks another milestone in Etherlink’s growth story. Since exiting public beta in early 2025, Etherlink’s TVL has surged from $1.4 million to $47.7 million, driven by improvements in smart contract speeds and cross-chain bridging.
While questions remain about the network’s momentum post-incentives, Curve’s arrival signals increased credibility for Etherlink and opens new liquidity channels between Tezos and Ethereum-compatible chains.
Meanwhile, in may Curve Finance announced intentions to permanently move to a new web domain following a recent DNS hijacking attack that exposed significant security risks to its users. Now operating exclusively on Curve.finance, replacing the previously used Curve.fi domain.
