Curve Live on Plasma
Curve is now live on Plasma, a network purpose-built for stablecoin payments. Plasma powers zero-fee transactions for USD₮, unlocking real payment use cases, while Curve brings the deep liquidity needed to keep those flows efficient.
Why Plasma
Plasma is built for one purpose: moving money. Instead of being a general-purpose chain, it focuses on stablecoins, with USD₮ as its core currency. Zero-fee transactions for USD₮ make it uniquely suited for real-world use cases like merchant payments, payroll, and remittances.
Plasma is about creating an ecosystem where stablecoins are the default unit of account, combining:
- Speed: instant confirmation and fast settlement.
- Focus: built entirely around stables, not speculative assets.
- Distribution: backed by Tether, connecting to the largest stablecoin network.
- Utility: zero-fee USD₮ payments make it viable for everyday spending.
As stablecoins move through Plasma, they will need reliable and liquid markets between them. Curve will provide that depth, while Plasma creates the conditions for volume to grow. Together they make up the infrastructure for a stablecoin-first economy.
Launch Pools
At launch, Curve will support the following pools on Plasma:
What’s next
Curve will expand on Plasma by supporting new stablecoin use cases as they emerge. And with FXSwap launching soon, Curve will add efficient cross-currency trading and open the door to broader FX markets.
