This vault optimizes yields for the Curve crvUSD/frxUSD liquidity pool through Convex Finance. The pool pairs two DeFi-native stablecoins: Curve's crvUSD and Frax Finance's frxUSD.
How This Vault Works
Provide crvUSD and/or frxUSD to the Curve pool
Stake LP tokens in this Convex vault
Convex applies boosted CRV rewards via aggregated veCRV
crvUSD: Curve's overcollateralized stablecoin using LLAMMA soft liquidation mechanism. Interest from crvUSD borrowers flows to the protocol.
frxUSD: Frax Finance's newest stablecoin, designed to be fully collateralized with a mix of fiat reserves and crypto. Succeeded the original algorithmic FRAX model.
Both are DeFi-native stablecoins with innovative designs.
Fee Structure
Standard Convex fees:
16% of CRV rewards taken as fees
No deposit or withdrawal fees
DeFi Stablecoin Pool
This pool represents pure DeFi stablecoin liquidity:
No direct exposure to traditional banking
Both protocols use crypto-native mechanisms
Potential for higher yields due to incentive programs
May have different risk profile than USDC/USDT pools
Risk Disclosures
Smart Contract Risk: Multiple DeFi protocols (Curve, Convex, Frax) with complex mechanisms.
crvUSD Risk: Newer design with LLAMMA soft liquidations. Behavior during extreme volatility less documented.
frxUSD Risk: While now collateralized, Frax has a complex protocol history. frxUSD mechanisms should be understood before depositing.
Depeg Correlation Risk: Both stablecoins face DeFi-specific risks. A broad DeFi crisis could affect both simultaneously.
Lower Liquidity: DeFi stablecoin pairs may have less liquidity than major stablecoin pools during stress.
Governance Risk: Both Curve and Frax have active governance that can modify parameters.
