Curve Finance Launches Staking V2 with Stake DAO on Fraxtal, Base, and Sonic Labs

Curve Finance, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) for stablecoins and pegged assets, has officially rolled out Staking V2 in collaboration with Stake DAO, now live on Fraxtal, Base, and Sonic Labs. This upgrade introduces a revamped staking infrastructure designed to enhance user rewards and optimize the staking experience with cutting-edge features. The new Staking V2 system, powered by Stake DAO’s advanced infrastructure, brings significant improvements for liquidity providers and CRV token holders. Key highlights include:

• Instant Boosted Reward Distribution: Staking V2 enables immediate reward payouts, eliminating delays and ensuring liquidity providers receive their boosted CRV rewards in real time. This streamlines the staking process and maximizes efficiency for users.
• No Reward Dilution: The upgraded system ensures that rewards are distributed without dilution, preserving the value for active participants. Unlike traditional staking models where rewards may be spread thin, Staking V2 prioritizes fairness and value retention for all stakers.
• Multi-Chain Expansion: The deployment on Fraxtal, Base, and Sonic Labs broadens Curve Finance’s reach, offering users across these ecosystems access to its robust staking and liquidity provision features. This multi-chain integration enhances accessibility and fosters greater participation in Curve’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Stake DAO, known for its non-custodial liquid staking platform focused on governance tokens, has leveraged its expertise to enhance Curve’s staking mechanics. The V2 liquidity gauges, as outlined in Curve’s documentation, now support tokenized deposits with a full ERC20 interface, allowing seamless transfers and flexible staking options. Users can stake their Curve LP tokens to earn boosted CRV rewards, with the potential for up to a 2.5x boost by vote-locking CRV in the Voting Escrow contract.

“Staking V2 represents a leap forward in how we reward liquidity providers,” said a Curve Finance spokesperson. “With instant reward distribution and no dilution, combined with Stake DAO’s cutting-edge infrastructure, we’re making staking more efficient and rewarding across Fraxtal, Base, and Sonic Labs”

Users can participate by depositing liquidity into Curve’s pools on these supported chains and staking their LP tokens in the updated gauges. The system also supports up to eight reward tokens simultaneously, adding versatility for users seeking diverse yield opportunities.

Curve Finance continues to solidify its position as a cornerstone of DeFi, with a total value locked (TVL) of $2.587 billion across multiple chains, including $43.05 million on Fraxtal and $11.95 million on Sonic.
