Risk Disclosures
Smart Contract Risk: Exposure to Curve, Convex, and both stablecoin protocols.
crvUSD Risk: Innovative LLAMMA mechanism is less battle-tested than traditional stablecoins.
USDT Risk: Tether's reserve composition and audit transparency have been subjects of ongoing scrutiny. Regulatory actions could affect USDT.
Depeg Risk: Either stablecoin depegging causes impermanent loss for LPs.
Counterparty Divergence: crvUSD and USDT have very different backing mechanisms. Events affecting one may not affect the other, causing pool imbalance.
Governance Risk: Curve governance controls crvUSD parameters.
