Curve has gained considerable attention by following its remit as an AMM specifically for stablecoin trading.
The launch of the DAO and CRV token brought in further profitability, given CRV’s use for governance, as it is awarded to users based on liquidity commitment and length of ownership.
The explosion in DeFi trading has ensured Curve’s longevity, with AMMs turning over huge amounts of liquidity and associated user profits.
As such, Curve caters to anyone involved in DeFi activities such as [yield farming](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/yield-farming) and liquidity mining, as well as those looking to maximize returns without risk by holding notionally non-volatile stablecoins.
The platform makes money by charging a modest fee which is paid to liquidity providers.
