## **Summary**

Create a new factory layer that enables minting directly into the sreUSD lending market on Curve Lend, with an initial 5M crvUSD borrow cap.

## **Motivation**

### **Novel Minting Mechanism**

This proposal introduces a new approach to crvUSD minting that utilizes lending pairs rather than traditional collateralized minting pairs. Lending markets provide alternative monetary policy tools that can be strategically valuable for specific use cases.

### **Strategic Rationale for sreUSD**

While we generally maintain that most minted crvUSD should utilize peg-keeping mechanisms to enforce repayment, sreUSD presents a unique exception due to its reflexive economic relationship with crvUSD:

1. Resupply’s Design Constraints: Resupply protocol will not add sreUSD as a collateral pair, eliminating circular dependency risks

2. Reflexive Peg Support: crvUSD lent to sreUSD holders is primarily used to leverage sreUSD positions, which:

### **Value Proposition**

- Mutual Growth: Supporting Resupply’s growth through sreUSD lending creates net positive value for crvUSD adoption and utility

- Stable Revenue: Adds to Curve’s constant revenue streams in a more predictable manner than volatile asset lending markets

- Risk-Managed Approach: Conservative 5M borrow cap allows for monitoring and adjustment; can be increased via future proposals if performance warrants

## **Specification**

Target Market: sreUSD on Curve Lend

Initial Lending Amount: 5,000,000 crvUSD

GitHub Factory: [https://github.com/resupplyfi/resupply/blob/main/src/dao/CurveLendMinterFactory.sol](https://github.com/resupplyfi/resupply/blob/main/src/dao/CurveLendMinterFactory.sol)

GitHub Implementation: [https://github.com/resupplyfi/resupply/blob/main/src/dao/CurveLendOperator.sol](https://github.com/resupplyfi/resupply/blob/main/src/dao/CurveLendOperator.sol)

Deployed Factory: [https://etherscan.io/address/0xd99391df68cdb38a89828a6d51f3976e3e76afff#code](https://etherscan.io/address/0xd99391df68cdb38a89828a6d51f3976e3e76afff#code)

Deployed Implementation: [https://etherscan.io/address/0x60d9d93a4565d9cf79c79742c26e417ac1386eb2#code](https://etherscan.io/address/0x60d9d93a4565d9cf79c79742c26e417ac1386eb2#code)

## **Security**

The implementation has undergone two independent security audits:

- Electi (formerly yAudit)

- ChainSecurity

The contract design is straightforward and follows established patterns for Curve lending integrations.

Audits can be found at: [https://github.com/resupplyfi/resupply/tree/main/audits](https://github.com/resupplyfi/resupply/tree/main/audits)

## **Next Steps**

If approved, this minter can be activated with the specified parameters. Future proposals may adjust the borrow cap based on market performance and demand.

Thanks for the proposition, Resupply is an interesting protocol in symbiosis withCurve.

Minting directly crvUSD wih sreUSD would help peg stability of reUSD

However in term of idea, this add a leverage to the system.

In order to mint crvUSD, you need external collateral (ETH, BTC) or BTC deposit on Curve LP (Yield Basis)

So you propose to mint crvUSD, using sreUSD, (which is backed by crvUSD).

So crvUSD is redeemable by itself =\> from full reserve banking to fractionnal reserve banking (a $ is lent several times)

Your current proposition, 5 M crvUSD on 287 M crvUSD is still a low leverage.

Leverage on deposit always badly end ( LUNA =\> UST =\> LUNA \> UST)
