Curve is a software that uses multiple cryptocurrencies to operate an automated market maker (AMM) service focused on stablecoins (cryptocurrencies programmed to mimic other assets).
For example, in the case of FRAX, a fractional algorithmic stablecoin, the Curve AMO utilizes the stablecoin and USDC collateral to provide liquidity for the protocol and tighten the peg. This allows the Curve AMO controller to set and collect admin fees for the FRAX stablecoin holders and various future functions. The protocol can also move idle USDC collateral or new FRAX to its Curve pool to create even more liquidity and tighten the peg while earning trading revenue.
