Blockchain technology has ushered in a new era of innovative governance mechanisms for decision-making. It shifts power from small, centralized groups to a broader community, democratizing and monetizing voting power. This transformation significantly boosts participation, enhances transparency, and secures the decision-making process within the community.

LLAMMA's Soft Liquidation Mechanism Reshaping DeFi Lending, Curve Lending is a decentralized, non-custodial lending and borrowing platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. It leverages the existing infrastructure and mechanisms of Curve Finance, particularly the crvUSD stablecoin system and the LLAMMA (Lending-Liquidating AMM) algorithm. The platform allows users to create permissionless lending pools for supported asset pairs, with crvUSD initially serving as the primary collateral or borrowed token. As of mid-March 2024, the platform soft-launched with support for CRV, WETH, tBTC, and wstETH as initial markets, and plans to expand to other assets. New markets may be added permissionlessly.

Curve Finance announced on X platform that Curve Lend (formerly known as LlamaLend) has been relaunched. The team has fixed some issues and optimized the UI. It is reported that on this lending platform, users can list any assets on their own without permission, but the specific collateral ratio parameters and soft liquidation losses for each asset will vary based on an algorithm.

According to on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpaCurve's monitoring data, Michael Egorov, the founder of Curve, has once again deposited 1.5 million CRV coins worth $1.1 million into Binance. Between January 11, 2024, and March 4, 2024, this address has deposited a total of 12.5 million CRV coins to the exchange, with an average price of $0.609 per coin and a total value of $7.61 million. The address still holds 2.5 million CRV coins.

Curve Finance announced on social media that Llamalend is expected to be launched in the coming days. Previously, Curve had revealed that the one-way lending market based on crvUSD was ready and waiting for contract audits, while the two-way lending market (where collateral assets can be borrowed) was also largely ready, with contract writing work completed and testing underway.

ZetaChain, an EVM-compatible L1 project, announced on X platform that Curve Finance will integrate with ZetaChain to provide native BTC support for cross-chain exchanges and full-chain asset pools.
