Protocol Description

CrossCurve is an ecosystem that facilitates interaction between blockchains, consisting of two main components:

  1. Consensus Bridge — a trustless bridge for tokens and data that uses leading cross-chain messaging layers (Axelar, Chainlink CCIP, LayerZero, Wormhole) for transaction verification.
  2. CrossCurve — an innovative cross-chain trading protocol that solves the problem of fragmented liquidity using Curve Finance liquidity pools.

CrossCurve enables the exchange of s-tokens in Curve pools on the Hubchain. Each s-token is fully backed by the original asset locked in the Eywa Token Bridge on the source blockchain.

Motivation

CrossCurve, in partnership with Curve Finance, has launched cross-chain pools based on Curve StableSwap and CryptoSwap, which allow:

  • Efficient use of liquidity for cross-chain swaps and transfers
  • Minimizing losses for liquidity providers
  • Providing users with access to tokens with minimal slippage and low fees from any network

Introducing this new gauge will accelerate TVL growth and strengthen CrossCurve’s position as a leading solution for cross-chain liquidity. CrossCurve DAO has allocated EYWA token incentives to attract liquidity and increase the significance of the pool within the Curve ecosystem.

Governance

CrossCurve DAO is a democratic, transparent, and decentralized organization that makes strategic decisions, engages participants, and incentivizes their contributions.

DAO governance is based on locking the EYWA governance token into veEYWA, which grants voting power. veEYWA holders can participate in decision-making, receive incentives, and earn revenue from CrossCurve protocols.

Conclusion

Adding the proposed pools on Taiko to the Gauge Controller is an important step toward unifying liquidity in DeFi. This initiative will help CrossCurve continue its mission of integrating fragmented markets on a more efficient, cost-effective platform—benefiting both CrossCurve and the wider Curve ecosystem.
