Good morning, the Curve DAO is discussing slowing down L2 expansion. @newmichwill I also have more confidence in underlying performance → Choosing Monad means using Curve liquidity as a performance proof, collaborative analysis below: Curve × Monad = Established DeFi protocol + High-speed performance @CurveFinance will deploy on the @monad mainnet on the first day, marking a significant event for DeFi protocols "returning to high-performance L1": 💡Why did Curve choose Monad? Performance benefits: Monad focuses on 10,000+ TPS, sub-second block times, and is fully EVM compatible, suitable for high-frequency stablecoin swap scenarios. Infrastructure synergy: Monad acquired @portal_hq to enhance stablecoin payment capabilities, providing faster settlement for Curve's liquidity pools. Ecosystem strategy: There are internal doubts within Curve DAO about continuing L2 expansion, and Curve founder Michael has also expressed caution regarding the "overhype of L2". The launch of Curve on Monad signifies trust in high-performance L1. In short: Curve is an OG protocol, Monad is a high-speed fund. Curve needs a smooth trading environment, and Monad needs benchmark DApps, making them naturally complementary. 2⃣ Direct benefits for users: Smoother stablecoin swaps: Ultra-high TPS + low Gas fees allow for large exchanges without waiting and lower slippage. Lower costs: Gas fees are almost negligible. (Potential incentives: Initial deployments often come with liquidity incentives, allowing Curve users to enjoy Monad's ecosystem benefits early.) 3⃣ Significance for DeFi: DeFi returns to high-performance L1: Against the backdrop of cooling narratives around L2 expansion, Curve's choice of Monad validates that underlying performance remains a hard strength in 2025. Ecosystem breakthrough point: The liquidity and users brought by Curve will become an accelerator for Monad's initial TVL explosion. Stablecoins + New DeFi trends: With the combination of Portal stablecoin payments and Curve, Monad's ecosystem narrative shifts from "high-performance EVM" to "next-generation financial infrastructure", with more established DeFi OG protocols supporting Monad in the future. 💡Summary: This is not just a simple "deployment", but a strong binding between OG DeFi and the next-generation L1: Curve gains performance, smoothness, and new ecosystem benefits. Monad proves its capacity through Curve liquidity. Users enjoy a faster, lower-cost stablecoin swapping experience.
