This is insanely good analytics from @curvemonitor about what users on Curve do - lots of curious and non-obvious insights.

Best part? No trackers were installed on web page to obtain that. Only public blockchain data.

Curve Finance reduces CRV emissions, boosting DAO sustainability https://cointelegraph.com/news/curve-finance-reduces-crv-emissions-boosting-dao-sustainability via @cointelegraph

CRV turns 4 years, and CRV inflation reduces to 6.35%, which is 375k CRV per day.

Congratulations everyone!

The amount of CRV tokens locked in veCRV over the last 2 months just exceeded CRV emissions (token incentives) produced since Aug 13 last year, according to @0xcrv_hub data

crvUSD borrow rates found solid support at 0%

Interesting classification by @Forbes. But that's not wrong, with DEX having the biggest TVL in Curve but crvUSD being the biggest revenue generator - Yield Generation is a fair category!

ezETH and pzETH pools from @RenzoProtocol offer a very big variety of points

Looks like @tokenterminal just made all the fee data correct! Fees seem to match other sources

Another good one to try for leveragooors is this bot https://www.curvebot.fi/curve-leverage-lending/: doing leverage using http://crvusd.curve.fi and managing the position.

Looking at this dashboard https://dune.com/mrblock_buidl/Curve.fi - looks like over 1 year we had ~190M CRV locked (while emissions over 1 year (going to LPs) were 163M CRV.

Most of those 190M CRVs were locked in the last 2 months

Apparently @DeFiSaver has an excellent tool which can migrate loans between platforms (for smart wallets). Excellent for rate arbitrage, as well as lowering liquidation price in one click

That's how protection from dips on https://t.co/oOi48fvtQi or https://t.co/oRLTRckhyx works. This position went below liquidation price, and the system was selling collateral for stablecoins or bought collateral back on the way up.

After the drop, user had to repay few % of debt to avoid hard liquidation, and system had enough health to travel back up. So position is back from liquidation (yay), but lost some 4% of collateral due to wild market action.

LRT pools are doing very well. This one (https://curve.fi/#/ethereum/pools/factory-stable-ng-157/deposit) has 870% utilization

On http://crvusd.curve.fi, some positions went fully soft-liquidated, but they are still open! They will be automatically converted to ETH on the way up (if they keep watching their health)

Missed this yesterday. It appears, that Uni3-style concentrated liquidity could not keep up with markets (moving it makes "impermanent loss" permanent), while Curve liquidity in crypto pools is automatically managed.

So while Curve is an AMM, Uni3 is closer to orderbooks

All of the recent Curve developments will (again) be published in http://news.curve.fi. For example:

veCRV locks are still going strong: 12.27M CRV locked since Thursday

This guy seems to be playing it safe. Chooses many bands on http://crvusd.curve.fi and repaying some debt when goes to the "yellow" region.

Will likely never be liquidated despite keeping this position, whatever the ETH price is
