  1. Fifth Annual Reduction in CRV Token Emissions
  2. New Fee Distribution Mechanism
  3. Stabilizing Inflation and DAO Sustainability
  4. Curve Finance, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM), has announced its fifth consecutive annual reduction in CRV token emissions. Since its inception in 2020, the platform has consistently lowered the number of tokens issued. This year, emissions were reduced from 274 million to 162.7 million CRV tokens. This move is aimed at long-term sustainability and user engagement.

    Fifth Annual Reduction in CRV Token Emissions

    The amount of CRV tokens in circulation has been reduced to 2.09 billion, with approximately 930 million tokens permanently locked as vote-locked veCRV. This represents a substantial shift in the circulating supply of the token. Currently, around 1.16 billion CRV tokens are in circulation, aligned with the end of all vesting periods on Curve’s platform. This alignment marks a significant reduction in annual token inflation, from 20% to around 6%.

    New Fee Distribution Mechanism

    On June 28, Curve Finance implemented a new fee distribution mechanism, shifting from the 3cr token to the native stablecoin, crvUSD. This change aims to enhance user incentives and integrate the stablecoin more effectively into the platform’s ecosystem. Michael Egorov, founder of Curve Finance, emphasized that this transition allows users to receive fees in a dollar-denominated stablecoin, significantly simplifying the process.

    Stabilizing Inflation and DAO Sustainability

    The reduction in emissions, combined with the completion of vesting periods, is expected to stabilize the token’s inflation rate. The Curve decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) also achieved a milestone where its earnings, entirely allocated to veCRV, have surpassed CRV emissions for the first time, marking a step towards sustainability.

    The five-year streak of annual token emission reductions, along with the new fee distribution mechanism, underscores Curve Finance’s commitment to long-term sustainability and user engagement. The alignment of emissions reduction with the end of vesting periods reflects a maturing ecosystem poised for further development and stability.
