CrossCurve
About
CrossCurve MetaLayer is a cross-chain liquidity aggregation protocol that connects multiple aggregators, bridges, and DEXs into a single routing layer. It provides a unified API for cross-chain swaps, deep liquidity access across 30+ chains, and uses a consensus bridge for secure message validation. The protocol enables gasless transactions, advanced routing, and supports both EVM and non-EVM networks.
Where Does Yield Come From?
There are two main ways to earn yield with CrossCurve.
First, you can stake EYWA tokens in the protocol's voting locker. This gives you veEYWA (voting power). Holding veEYWA entitles you to a share of weekly EYWA token rewards from the protocol's treasury. These rewards are distributed each week (or "epoch") based on how much veEYWA you hold compared to others.
Your share can be boosted by:
- Locking your tokens for longer periods, up to 3 years
- Using special NFTs that multiply your rewards
Second, you can provide liquidity to CrossCurve's trading pools. This earns you:
- Trading fees from swaps that happen in the pools
- Additional EYWA token incentives, which are allocated through community voting
Liquidity providers can choose between two pool types:
- Stable pools for assets that move together (like stablecoins)
- Volatility pools for assets that move independently
The protocol also offers tools to manage liquidity across different blockchains.
For those looking to optimize their yield, there are advanced strategies like participating in "Curve Wars" (competing for reward allocations) through platforms like StakeDAO and Convex, and voting to direct incentive distributions.
