- With this launch, Curve becomes the stablecoin and pegged asset backbone for both Etherlink and Tezos, bringing deep liquidity.
London, August 7th, 2025 – Curve, a decentralized exchange platform that focuses on making trading of stablecoins, pegged assets, and cross-currency pairs more efficient and cost-effective by offering deep liquidity and low slippage, is now deployed on Etherlink, an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollups.
While most EVM L2s rely on separate governance and upgrade mechanisms, Etherlink is designed as a Tezos-native Smart Rollup, meaning it benefits from Tezos’ on-chain governance, low fees, and fast finality. This deep protocol integration makes Etherlink unique among Layer 2s and positions Curve as the first major liquidity engine bridging the Tezos and EVM ecosystems.
“Most importantly, a Curve deployment on Etherlink gives the Tezos ecosystem access to deep stablecoin liquidity and efficient pegged asset trading,” said Maximilian Roszko, who leads network expansion at Curve. “That’s what makes this launch strategically interesting for us.”
To support its growth, Curve is one of the platforms participating in Apple Farm Season 2, a rewards program designed to encourage active use of DeFi apps on Etherlink. Apple Farm is now live, launching on Etherlink with over $3 million in rewards to drive further adoption across the Layer 2’s expanding DeFi ecosystem.
With this launch, Curve becomes the stablecoin and pegged asset backbone for both Etherlink and Tezos, bringing deep liquidity to a uniquely integrated rollup and L1 pairing. It marks a step toward seamless stablecoin infrastructure across Tezos’ growing modulithic ecosystem.
“Having Curve as our stablecoin backbone changes everything for Etherlink users,” said David Relkin, Head of DeFi at Nomadic Labs. “Traders can now access the deep liquidity they’re used to on mainnet, but with the speed and cost benefits of our Tezos-native rollup architecture.”
Today’s announcements come amid strong ecosystem momentum for Etherlink, which has seen a wave of significant developments across its ecosystem, positioning itself as a key player in DeFi. Recent major integrations include Midas’ launch of tokenized assets (mBASIS, mTBILL, mMEV, mRE7YIELD); Oku’s June 2025 launch of a DeFi aggregator bringing Uniswap v3 functionality with advanced order routing. Network performance has also surged as season 1 attracted thousands of users, peaking at $47.7M in TVL and $88.5M in on-chain asset value, smart contract storage speed improving up to 30x, and bridging times reduced from 15 days to under a minute.
