区块链与比特币-币须知道如何在Curve理财上篇-历史、跨链原理、风险分析CURVE是什么Curve是一个专注稳定币交易去中心化的交易所（DEX）。它和Uniswap一样使用了流动性池，它是非托管的，并奖励流动性提供者。由于Curve只专注于稳定币，并且采用了Curve团队发明的「StableSwap」（稳定互换）机制，提供了比其它中心化交易所和去中心化更低滑点的稳定币交易模型。可以提供更低滑点的稳定币交易服务是Curve的核心竞争力。Curve 发展历史2020年1月，Curve面世。2020年2月，Curve已被多个以太坊的去中心化聚合交易所接入。周交易量超过Uniswap 。2020年4月20日，资金池爆出漏洞。2020年7月21日，Curve公布治理代币CRV首个迭代框架。2020年8月13日，Curve发行CRV。2020年9月5日，Curve分叉项目 Swerve启动。2021.02.03 上线5个月后Curve分叉Swerve Finance被“交给社区”，团队转向新项目Boot Finance2021.02 根据周一发布的一份声明，基于波卡的DeFi项目Equilibrium（以前以基于EOS而闻名）正在与Curve Finance合作，将后者的自动化做市商平台Curve引入波卡（DOT）生态系统。Curve 可以做什么可以交易稳定币交易通过最近发布了跨链协议可以低滑点交易ETH和BTC可以挖矿CRV 还有一些池子除了奖励CRV还奖励SNX等其他协议代币什么人适合在Curve理财和交易由于Curve 协议的复杂性，curve 上操作Gas费非常高，所以交易量小和资金量小的人不适合在Curve因为省下来的滑点和挖矿收益可能抵不上Gas费。但是如果是大资金交易Curve就非常合适，Curve的手续费只有0.0004 非常低，还有滑点也非常低。所以大的机构比如交易所也会使用Curve做对冲。由于是稳定币交易池，所以Curve的无常损失也可以忽略不计。现在Curve的Busd池和Y池大概可以提供20-30%的年化收益。所以手上有大量稳定币追求稳定20%左右收益的人Curve是一个不错的选择。Curve 跨链原理Curve的跨资产兑换对于大额兑换来说，是非常有利的，因为它有很低的滑点。*滑点很低。即便是上百万，甚至上千万美元的兑换也几乎没多大滑点，可以对比一下，Uniswap上和Curve的大额兑换截图演示，假设用10万DAI、100万DAI以及1000万DAI兑换wBTC，在两个DEX的对比如下：从上可以看出,在Uniswap上用100万DAI和1000万DAI兑换wBTC的滑点很大，尤其是1000万DAI，其滑点超过14%，如果直接兑换的损失是非常大的，相对于Curve上的兑换，损失超过40个BTC 。在Curve上用100万DAI和1000万DAI兑换wBTC几乎没有什么滑点，这对于使用DEX来说，这么大额的兑换可以实现几乎没有滑点体验是非常神奇的，这对于当前的大额交易市场来说，会有很大的冲击。除了滑点低的优点，它也有普通交易没有的如下特点，这让它不适合小额交易。*等待时间长Curve的跨资产兑换集成了Synthetix，它需要花费6分钟时间，等待Synthetix的结算时间，同时，这个时间内其价格也可能发生变化。*交易费用贵跨资产兑换不适合小额交易，一次跨资产兑换费用很贵，通常的跨资产兑换可能达到80美元及以上的费用。但如果是大额兑换，考虑到几乎没有多大滑点，这个费用就显得非常便宜。*合成资产桥梁它通过synthetix的合成资产来完成交易，目前，Curve可以通过合成资产进行各类跨资产的交易。目前的合成资产主要包括sUSD、sETH、sBTC。Curve的跨资产兑换是如何实现的 Curve跨资产兑换有两个交易，以DAI兑换wBTC为例子，首先一个交易是DAI—>sUSD—>sBTC，第一个交易可以兑换为sBTC；后一个交易是sBTC—>wBTC，完成兑换到wBTC。用户对交易确认后，会收到一个NFT，代表该交易。交易立即进入6分钟的结算期，用户在这个时候不要关闭浏览器。在Synthetix的结算期之后，用户可以通过点击“完成交易”按钮完成第二个交易部分。第二笔交易中，用户的sBTC可以兑换为wBTC。在确认交易之后，用户将会收到wBTC。从上面的跨资产兑换流程，可以看到Synthetix的合成资产充当了桥梁作用。之所以能实现这一点，这也跟其在前期的积累相关，Synthetix的合成资产在Curve上已有sBTC和sUSD池，这两个池的流动性都不小。sUSD池的流动性超过8100万美元，而sBTC池的流动性超过2.8亿美元。使用sUSD和sBTC作为桥梁，它们可以实现几乎没有多大滑点的兑换。在Sy2021-02-2114 min
