Curve Offers Express Deployment of its DEX on supported Rollups
Ethereum's ecosystem is expanding through its rollup-centric approach to scaling. There is a growing list of Rollup-as-a-Service teams such as Conduit, Caledera and Gelato (among many, as shown in this article), alongside a growing number of rollups that settle on Ethereum (Layer-2s) such as Base, Arbitrum and Optimism. Additionally, Layer-3s are emerging which settle to these Layer-2s.
Every rollup requires DEX functionality from launch to offer users the ability to exchange their assets on their networks. To meet this growing demand, CurveDAO contributors have released Curve-Lite, which automatically deploys all Curve's essential DEX infrastructure including:
- Core DEX smart contracts - Enables permissionless deployment of Stableswap and Cryptoswap pools
- Frontend interface integration - Integrates networks, pools and swaps directly into Curve.fi
- CurveDAO integration - Allows CurveDAO on Ethereum to own all Smart Contract Assets, directs admin fees to DAO-controlled Vault and enables pools to receive CRV emissions voted by the DAO
The code is open-sourced, and can be found here: https://github.com/curvefi/curve-core
Curve-Lite currently supports OP Stack, Arbitrum Nitro, Polygon CDK and Taiko Stack, with additional integrations planned. As a lite deployment, it contains the minimal but complete set of smart contracts needed to power DEX functionality on any EVM network. The contracts follow standardized patterns, making them familiar to searchers and integrators across EVM chains and easily queryable through the Curve Metaregistry
Contributors to Rollups looking to add their stack to the supported list can reach out to Curve Contributors via Discord or Telegram.
The first instance deployed is available at Arbitrum Sepolia, a testnet for Arbitrum.
Production deployments launching soon! Connect with us on Discord or Telegram to deploy your own Curve-Lite instance.
