Today is the fifth birthday of the very eventful Curve DAO deployment

Curve Finance marked the fifth anniversary of the Curve DAO with a retrospective on how the protocol’s governance system launched in an unusually public and chaotic way. According to Curve’s own account, the CRV token and governance contract had been published ahead of launch for review, but an anonymous community member using the address 0xc4ad deployed the DAO first, the team verified the bytecode and parameters, and the community accepted that deployment as canonical.
