There is a structured process for integrating new assets, ensuring each addition is carefully evaluated, secure, and beneficial to the ecosystem. This multi-step approach involves collaboration with asset teams and Curvance DAO contributors, due diligence on infrastructure, and rigorous testing, leading to seamless integration within the protocol.
1. Initial Conversation
The integration process begins with an initial conversation, typically initiated through business development efforts or inbound requests from teams looking to have their assets supported on Curvance. These discussions aim to understand the asset’s potential and explore collaborative opportunities.
2. Infrastructure and Compatibility Assessment
Both the assigned Curvance development team and the asset's team verify the availability of critical infrastructure, such as price oracles and other relevant data feeds. This assessment helps determine the type of integration possible, factoring in considerations such as:
Total available liquidity for the asset
Whether other lending protocols support the same asset
The quality and reliability of infrastructure components
3. Strategy Vault Development
Based on the information gathered, the teams decide on the optimal type of integration for the asset. This decision balances factors such as liquidity, support within the broader DeFi ecosystem, and the asset's potential for yield generation and capital efficiency within the Curvance platform.
The Curvance DAO's assigned engineering team develops a strategy vault tailored for the new asset. This vault is designed to integrate with the existing protocol infrastructure while maximizing yield and liquidity opportunities specific to the asset.
4. Security Audits and Validation
The newly developed strategy undergoes rigorous third-party security audits to ensure protocol stability and user safety. This step is crucial for maintaining trust in the protocol's security standards and protecting the broader DeFi community.
5. Asset Integration and Deployment
Once the strategy passes the security audit, the new asset is integrated into the Curvance protocol. From this point, users can access and interact with the asset throughout the platform, leveraging its unique yield opportunities, lending capabilities, and liquidity options.
This structured approach ensures that each new asset added to Curvance meets rigorous security, liquidity, and usability standards, creating a seamless user experience and maintaining the protocol’s integrity.
