About
Curve is building an "Operating System for Money"that creates deep on-chain liquidity through advanced bonding curves. The platform aims to simplify how people spend, send, view, and save money in response to financial service fragmentation and emerging customer experience convergence layers. Curve envisions a connected financial ecosystem tailored to individual needs, ultimately transforming fragmented financial services into a cohesive, personalized money management system that adapts to each user's unique requirements.
