Summary

Curve DAO is voting on a proposal to establish a $60 million credit line for the Yield Basis project, introduced by Michael Egorov. The proposal, which aims to create new income streams for Curve stakers through veCRV, has garnered 97% support in the vote so far. Yield Basis could reduce impermanent loss and scale up TVL without negatively affecting crvUSD's peg. The protocol's TVL currently stands at $2.4 billion, a decline from its peak of $24.2 billion in 2022.
