Chris Carapola is the founder of Curvance, a modular liquidity management protocol designed to optimize the use of yield-bearing assets and ERC-20 tokens. Curvance DeFi aims to be the “all-in-one app” for lending and borrowing, designed to help address fragmentation across chains and protocols.
Why you should listen
Curvance is a chain-agnostic reward and utility layer for yield-generating assets and other ERC-20 tokens. Initially launched on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Blast, Base, Optimism and Polygon zkEVM, it aspires to establish itself as the de facto reward and utility layer for any ERC-20 token.
Curvance as a protocol allows users to unlock greater capital efficiency on yield-bearing assets. The modular approach of Vault technology allows support for almost any ERC-20 token.
Curvance’s goal is to become the end-all, be-all of DeFi and the de facto “everything app” to facilitate user access to lending and yield generation protocols.
As DeFi continues its growth trajectory and more sophisticated yield-generating products are built on top of existing DeFi infrastructure, the market size and prevalence of yield-generating assets is expected to increase significantly.
In this evolving landscape, Curvance plays a pivotal role, facilitating the continued growth of DeFi by enabling users to leverage their assets through borrowing, lending and staking protocols, thereby amplifying their capital efficiency and opening doors to new opportunities.
A key part of this vision is Curvance’s multi-chain strategy which allows Curvance to quickly leverage different flywheels. This removes an extra step in the user journey, further simplifying the DeFi experience.
As a result, Curvance can provide services to a wider range of users and leverage the strengths of different protocols and yield-generating asset markets, thereby maximizing its revenue potential.
The goal is to become the top layer of liquidity management for new crypto users and experienced DeFi veterans. This mission begins with supporting and integrating the most revenue-generating protocols into DeFi, moving the complexity required to access these opportunities away from the user. Additionally, the multi-chain strategy allows Curvance to easily expand to emerging chains and protocol frills that are in high demand.
The Curvance protocol capitalizes on the extensive composability of yield-bearing assets and ERC-20 tokens, enabling borrowing of tokenized treasures, tokenized NFT marketplaces, and other primitives in a decentralized peer-to-peer manner. This will open up a whole new world of capital efficiency and optimized returns.
On Curvance, users can access third-party protocols that make it easy to get a competitive annual percentage rate (APR) on assets. Curvance unlocks additional utility and reward layers that can unlock liquidity by collateralizing loans against user assets and, in some cases, earn CVE tokens through the gauge system.
Therefore, Curvance can be considered the final top layer for DeFi yield.
During beta, Curvance will be available on at least Ethereum, Arbitrum, Blast, Base, Optimism and Polygon zkEVM. By being multichain from the start, Curvance places itself at the center of the multichain DeFi landscape and aligns with similar protocols.
