Risk Assessment
Good
Protocol Code Quality
  • Code reviewed by several experienced auditors; MixBytes and ChainSecurity
  • Public team promotes accountability
  • No documented protocol hacks since launch
Protocol Maturity
  • Latest protocol version launched in 2023; maturity over one year minimizes technical risk as smart contracts are well battle-tested
  • Top 1% by total value locked reduces risk
  • Core contracts require on-chain voting for parameter updates
  • Low voting power concentration reduces risk
Protocol Design
  • Robust controls to mitigate oracle price manipulation
  • Cross-collateral markets are exposed to systemic risks as each asset creates incremental risks for the platform as a whole
  • Solid controls in place to prevent risky borrowing
  • Solid mechanisms in place to ensure healthy liquidations
  • Basic method to accrue protocol reserves
  • crvUSD is Curve's over-collateralized stablecoin, designed to maintain a stable value through an automated liquidation mechanism.
