Curve Stablecoin: Overview
Curve Stablecoin (crvUSD) infrastructure enables users to mint crvUSD using a selection of crypto collaterals (adding new ones is subject to DAO approval).
crvUSD is designed to provide a more capital-efficient stablecoin mechanism and smoother liquidations, while maintaining a decentralized design which the Curve DAO governs.

Curve Stablecoin Infrastructure ComponentsΒΆ
-
Controller
The Controller is the contract the user interacts with to create a loan and further manage the position. It holds all user debt information. External liquidations are also done through it.
-
LLAMMA
LLAMMA is the market-making contract that rebalances the collateral. As the name suggests, this contract is responsible for liquidating collateral. Every market has its own AMM (created from a blueprint contract) containing the collateral asset and crvUSD.
-
Factory
The Factory is used to add new markets, raise or lower debt ceilings of already existing markets, set blueprint contracts for AMM and Controller, and set fee receiver.
-
Monetary Policy
Monetary policy contracts are integrated into the crvUSD system and are responsible for the interest rate of crvUSD markets.
-
PegKeepers
PegKeepers are contracts that help stabilize the peg of crvUSD. They are allocated a specific amount of crvUSD to secure the peg.
