๐ Curve Finance Mints $22M Algo Stablecoin crvUSD
Curve Finance, a leading DeFi protocol, has successfully launched its algorithmic stablecoin crvUSD on the Ethereum mainnet, minting over $22M in just 8 hours ๐คฏ. The launch is a significant step towards the public release of crvUSD, which is currently inaccessible to general users pending integration with Curve's front-end UI. Curve Finance boasts a TVL of approximately $4.4B, and the protocol's native token, CRV, spiked 7% following the stablecoin's launch ๐.
As many figured - deployment of crvUSD smart contracts has happened!
This is not finalized yet because UI also needs to be deployed. Stay tuned!

๐ฑ Beware of Address Poisoning Attacks: Stay Safe from Crypto Scams
Address poisoning attacks are a new type of crypto scam that trick victims into sending funds to attackers' addresses ๐ฏ. Two common methods involve fake contracts and breadcrumbing ๐ต๏ธ. To stay safe, set up alerts for your address, create a contact list, use trusted sources for recipient addresses, and use name services like ENS or BNS ๐. Always double-check recipient addresses and remain vigilant to protect your assets ๐ช.
Update: Zero-value token transfers are now hidden by default
In recent times, 'address poisoning' attacks have phished unsuspecting users and spammed everybody else. With this update you wonโt have to see these transfers anymore!
