Curve Finance launches Llamalend v2, deploys on Optimism ahead of Ethereum mainnet
DeFi protocol Curve Finance launched Llamalend v2, an upgraded lending infrastructure, on Optimism ahead of an Ethereum mainnet deployment. The new version removes collateral pairing limits that had been restricted to crvUSD pairs and allows most assets, including Curve LP tokens, to be used as collateral and borrowable assets. Curve received a 250,000 OP token grant from the Optimism Foundation, to be distributed over about two months. Mainnet deployment is planned for the second half of this year.
