Curve Swap is a feature of the Curve Finance protocol, a decentralized exchange (DEX) optimized for stablecoin and wrapped token swaps. Launched in early 2020, Curve uses an automated market maker (AMM) model that offers low fees, reduced slippage, and efficient liquidity provision.
Curve utilizes a unique bonding curve algorithm that reduces slippage between tokens of similar value. By concentrating liquidity around a narrow price range, Curve ensures that users experience much more efficient trades, especially with large amounts.
