About
What is Curve?
Curve is a decentralized protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain, designed specifically for efficient swapping of ERC-20 tokens. The protocol utilizes the automated market maker (AMM) approach to offer seamless, automated trading without relying on traditional order books. Its core mission is to enable users to exchange tokens efficiently while maintaining liquidity, minimizing impermanent loss and reducing transaction costs.
How Curve works
Curve protocol operates through liquidity pools that are backed by users who provide assets, such as stablecoins or Bitcoin tokens wrapped on Ethereum. Instead of using order books, Curve allows users to trade directly through these liquidity pools, which are maintained by smart contracts.
Liquidity providers are incentivized to deposit tokens into these pools. Every time a swap occurs, liquidity providers receive a share of the transaction fees.

What is liquidity aggregation?
Liquidity aggregation combines liquidity from multiple sources to give users access to the best rates and minimal slippage during token swaps – all within a single place. By tapping into liquidity across the entire market, 1inch simplifies the swapping process, saving users time and effort. This efficient, decentralized approach enhances the swapping experience in a self-custodial environment.
Why is DEX aggregation important?
DEX aggregation is crucial because it enables users to access competitive prices and optimal liquidity across multiple decentralized exchanges through a single interface. Since different DEXes may offer varying prices for the same asset, DEX aggregation eliminates the need for manual comparison, ensuring users get the best possible rates.
