Curve Finance has been officially launched on Etherlink, which marks an important milestone when connecting Tezos with the wider Ethereum-compatible decentralized financial ecosystem.
Summary
- Curve Finance launched on Etherlink on August 7, which brings Stablecoin liquidity to Tezos’ Layer 2.
- The implementation is part of the $ 3 million Apple Farm Season 2 Rewards initiative of Etherlink.
- Etherlink continues to grow post-minnet with a rising TVL and deeper protocolintegrations.
The implementation was announced On August 6 by Ethherlink as part of the Apple Farm season 2 Incentive campaign. Curve, a decentralized exchange that is known for its stablecoin and linked liquidity, brings an established Defi tool for the Ecosystem of Tezos (XTZ) through this integration.

Ethherlink was built using the Smart Rollup technology from Tezos and is a Layer-2 chain that supports fast, cheap transactions and native compatibility with Ethereum (ETH) wallets such as Metamask. Now that the curve is live, users can trade stablecoins and other linked assets on Ethherlink with low slips, while staying in the well -known Ethereum Virtual Machine environment.
This launch is part of a push to grow the Defi activity of Ethherlink through Apple Farm season 2, a reward program that offers more than $ 3 million to users who interact with selected protocols. Curve agrees with other platforms such as Superlend, Gearbox and Lombard Finance in the campaign. Since it goes live, Curve has attracted more than $ 4.67 million to the total value on Etherlink.
Strengthening the interoperability of Tezos-EVM
The arrival of Curve reinforces its position as an important part of the Tezos Defi landscape. It is already considered a possible backbone for the actions of Stablecoins on Ethherlink and other platforms that are connected to Tezos.
Ethherlink, on the other hand, has experienced consistent growth in recent months. It has risen TVL from $ 1.4 million to $ 47.7 million after leaving public beta in early 2025. Upgrades such as faster bridges and faster smart contract speeds have made this growth possible.
Although the rapid expansion of Etherlink indicates a considerable momentum, it is still uncertain how long this trend will take place after stimulation programs have ended. Nevertheless, the implementation of curve adds credibility to the network and opens the new paths for liquidity between Tezos and Ethereum-based chains.
