Curve CRV News -
Curve Finance celebrates its fifth anniversary, marking one of DeFi's most unconventional token launches. On August 13, 2020, an anonymous Twitter account @0xc4ad preemptively deployed the CRV token and DAO contracts before the official team, creating a surreal moment in crypto history.
The rogue deployer's actions were initially met with caution by Curve, but the contracts were later verified as legitimate. This incident remains a defining chapter in DeFi's evolution, blending opportunism with decentralized ethos.
Founder Michael Egorov's continued silence on the mystery adds to Curve's enigmatic origins. The protocol has since grown into a cornerstone of decentralized finance, with CRV becoming a benchmark for governance tokens.
