Taiko launches a Curve-Lite instance to serve as its main DEX

Curve Finance says it launched Curve-Lite on Taiko, positioning it as the network’s main decentralized exchange and describing it as a streamlined, DAO-controlled Curve instance. The announcement says Curve-Lite uses Taiko’s Layer 2 design to offer lower gas costs and faster transactions, while preserving Ethereum-aligned security through Taiko’s based-rollup architecture. The launch matters because Curve is one of the more established DeFi protocols to deploy on Taiko, giving the rollup a higher-profile liquidity venue and a concrete use case beyond infrastructure claims. For Curve, the deployment extends its DEX model into a cheaper execution environment, which can make liquidity provision and trading more accessible if usage grows.
