About Curve Finance

Curve Finance (CRV) is a decentralized exchange (DEX) optimized for swapping stablecoins and pegged assets with minimal slippage. By using specialized AMM (automated market maker) algorithms designed for assets of similar value, Curve achieves dramatically lower trading fees and slippage than general-purpose DEXes. CRV is the governance and value-accrual token for the Curve DAO. Token holders can lock CRV for up to 4 years to receive veCRV (vote-escrowed CRV), which grants voting power over liquidity gauge weights — determining where CRV emissions flow — and a share of protocol trading fees. The veCRV model has been widely replicated across DeFi.

How to Swap CRV

Exchanging Curve Finance (CRV) on SyntheticSwap is simple and needs no account or identity check. CRV is a multi-chain token primarily on Ethereum, supported by MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, and Ledger Live. Select CRV in the swap interface, pick your desired output asset, provide a receiving wallet address, and review the live exchange rate. Your swap settles automatically after your CRV deposit is confirmed — the destination token is sent directly to your wallet without delay.

How to Store CRV

CRV is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and can be stored in MetaMask, Ledger hardware wallets, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, or any Ethereum-compatible wallet. To maximize CRV utility, users lock CRV into the Curve DAO for veCRV, which requires interacting with curve.fi via MetaMask or a compatible wallet.
