Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov has proposed a $6.6M CRV grant (17.45M CRV) to fund long-term ecosystem development. The funds would go to Swiss Stake AG to support its 2026 roadmap, including Llamalend upgrades, infrastructure, security, and continued R&D, with biannual transparency reports and open-source commitments.

Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov has proposed a grant of 17.45 million CRV, valued at about $6.6 million, to fund long-term development at Swiss Stake AG, the company tied to Curve’s core protocol work. The proposal is aimed at supporting a 2026 roadmap that includes Llamalend v2, an onchain FX swap, infrastructure work, security improvements, and continued research and development. The funding would support a 25-person team and follows an earlier grant from late 2024, signaling a continuation of Curve’s efforts to keep core development financed through DAO governance rather than short-term fundraising. The proposal also includes governance safeguards: biannual transparency reports, open-source commitments for any IP created with grant funds, and rules around how unused CRV may be handled. The story matters because Curve remains a major DeFi protocol with roughly $2.2 billion in TVL reported in coverage, and the proposal reflects how mature DeFi projects are trying to institutionalize long-term maintenance, security, and product development.
