Summary:
Increase the trading fee of Curve Pool
0xc2921134073151490193ac7369313c8e0b08e1e7from 0.01% to 0.02%, based on strong CowSwap order flow capture.
Abstract:
This proposal suggests increasing the fee of the Curve pool at
0xc292...1e7to 0.02%. CowSwap trade routing data shows this pool captures 82.8% of all volume for its token pair, significantly ahead of alternatives. A fee increase would improve LP revenue while maintaining routing dominance.
Motivation:
In the past 30 days, the USDtb/USDC Curve pool has captured $34.2M of the $41.3M in CowSwap volume for this pair — roughly 82.8% of all trades.
This dominance indicates that solvers consistently route orders through the Curve pool, even in the presence of competing liquidity.
Below is a chart showing CowSwap order flow distribution by trade size, with Curve (yellow) capturing the majority of flow.
Increasing the fee to 0.02% is expected to:
Increase LP revenue significantly
Have minimal impact on routing behaviour
Preserve Curve’s position as the preferred trading route for this token pair
