Curve Finance Investigation Services
Track stablecoin swaps and trace funds through Curve—the dominant stablecoin DEX processing billions in daily volume. Essential investigation for any case involving large stablecoin movements.
The Stablecoin Highway
Curve Finance revolutionized stablecoin trading with its StableSwap algorithm, enabling massive trades with minimal slippage. Today, it handles the majority of stablecoin volume in DeFi, making it a critical chokepoint for fund tracing. If large amounts of USDC, USDT, DAI, or other stablecoins moved on-chain, they likely passed through Curve.
Curve's influence extends far beyond direct swaps. Protocols like Convex and Yearn deposit billions into Curve pools to earn yield. Understanding this ecosystem—the pools, gauges, bribes, and integrations—is essential for comprehensive DeFi investigation.
Our Curve expertise covers the complete protocol: legacy pools, factory pools, crypto pools, governance mechanics, and the surrounding yield protocol ecosystem. Whether you're tracing a simple stablecoin swap or investigating a complex DeFi exploit, our analysis provides the clarity you need.
Why Curve Investigation Matters
Curve has held massive liquidity, making it central to stablecoin DeFi.
The majority of large stablecoin swaps route through Curve pools.
Diverse pool ecosystem including factory-deployed pools.
Curve's market dominance means investigation expertise is essential for any case involving significant stablecoin value. Criminals often convert volatile crypto to stablecoins for stability, then swap between stablecoins through Curve to obscure origins. Our analysis cuts through these patterns to maintain complete fund tracing.
Investigation Services
Comprehensive Curve ecosystem analysis
Large Stablecoin Tracing
Curve dominates stablecoin swaps. When large amounts of USDC, USDT, DAI, or FRAX move through Curve, we trace the complete path with precise amounts and timing.
Yield Protocol Investigation
Many yield protocols route through Curve. We trace funds through Convex, Yearn, and other protocols that utilize Curve pools.
Source of Funds Documentation
Prove stablecoin origins for compliance. Curve's dominant market share means most large stablecoin movements touch its pools.
Exploit Analysis
Investigate Curve pool exploits, reentrancy attacks, and other DeFi security incidents.
Factory Pool Scams
Curve's permissionless factory allows anyone to create pools. We investigate scam pools and trace victim funds.
veCRV Governance Audit
Document CRV locking, voting activity, and bribe receipts for legal, tax, or compliance purposes.
Technical Capabilities
Deep protocol knowledge for accurate analysis
StableSwap Pool Analysis
Track swaps through Curve's signature stablecoin pools with accurate exchange rate and fee calculations.
Crypto Pool Tracking
Analyze volatile asset pools including tricrypto and other non-stable pairs.
Gauge & Voting Analysis
Document veCRV locking, gauge voting, and bribe collection for governance activity.
Factory Pool Investigation
Track activity in permissionlessly deployed Curve pools, including potential scam pools.
Cross-Chain Curve
Analysis across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, and other deployments.
Convex & Yearn Integration
Track funds through Curve-adjacent protocols that route through Curve pools.
The Curve Ecosystem
Convex Finance
Convex is the largest user of Curve, allowing users to earn boosted CRV rewards without locking tokens themselves. We trace funds through Convex deposits, reward claims, and withdrawals back to underlying Curve activity.
Yearn Finance
Yearn vaults often utilize Curve pools for yield generation. Our analysis follows funds through Yearn strategies that route through Curve, providing complete tracing across both protocols.
veCRV Governance
CRV holders can lock tokens as veCRV to participate in governance and earn fee sharing. We document complete governance activity including voting, bribes, and fee claims.
Factory Pools
Anyone can create Curve pools through the factory. While enabling innovation, this also allows scam token pools. We investigate factory pool activity and trace funds from malicious pools.
Curve Finance Investigation FAQ
Why is Curve important for fund tracing?
Curve dominates stablecoin trading, handling the majority of large stablecoin swaps in DeFi. When funds convert between stablecoins—USDC to USDT, DAI to FRAX—they usually pass through Curve. Understanding Curve is essential for tracing any significant stablecoin movement.
Can you trace through Curve's complex pool types?
Yes, we support all Curve pool types: plain pools (like 3pool), lending pools (like aave pool), metapools, crypto pools (like tricrypto), and factory-deployed pools. Each has different mechanics that we fully understand and decode.
How do you handle Curve's low slippage swaps?
Curve's StableSwap algorithm enables large trades with minimal slippage. We accurately calculate the exact amounts exchanged even for massive trades that would cause significant slippage on other DEXs. This precision is crucial for large-value investigations.
Can you track funds through Convex and Yearn?
Absolutely. Convex and Yearn are the largest users of Curve, routing billions through its pools. We trace funds through these yield protocols, documenting deposits, reward claims, and withdrawals as they interact with underlying Curve positions.
What about veCRV and governance activity?
We document complete veCRV activity including CRV locking, lock extensions, gauge voting, and bribe collection on platforms like Votium or Hidden Hand. This is important for tax documentation and source of funds verification for large CRV holders.
Can scam tokens be launched on Curve?
Yes, Curve's permissionless factory allows anyone to create pools. Scammers occasionally launch malicious token pools. We investigate factory pool scams, trace victim funds, and identify where proceeds were sent.
How do you investigate Curve exploits?
Curve pools have been targets of sophisticated DeFi exploits. We analyze exploit transactions, trace stolen funds through subsequent laundering, and provide detailed technical documentation of attack mechanics for legal proceedings or insurance claims.
Which networks is Curve deployed on?
We support Curve on Ethereum (primary), Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Gnosis Chain, and other networks. Cross-chain Curve activity is fully tracked with transaction continuity maintained across bridges.
