USDN pays interest directly to all holders of the token. Deposits in the Curve USDN pool accrue this interest. Interest amounts to about 10-15% annually
USDN pool has a unique fee structure. Instead of the usual .02% fee to LP/.02% fee to veCRV, this pool goes .04% fee to LP and 50% of USDN interest to veCRV
The interest currently in the pool amounts to about $150k. Currently it earns about $180k/month in interest. This is much higher than trade fees earned.
The more we pump this pool full of LPs, the more fees we earn. I know your inclination is to vote for your own pool, but more CRV inflation attracts LP’s to offset your gains. Better to allocate to the pool that creates the most value for your veCRV
USDN pool is the most efficient way we can pump our numbers
100% USDN pool is what I’m doing. Spread the word and let’s make this the biggest pool on Curve!
Full disclaimer: I am a Curve LP and veCRV holder but I am not, have never been, and have no intention of ever depositing LP funds into the USDN pool
I just like veCRV gains, surely ya’ll can get down with that

My head is spinning trying to figure out what the $yveCRV market will look like 🤯
Here's where I'm at 👇
A popular theory is that since yveCRV is the interest earning version of $CRV, it must be worth more. This isn't true.
If yveCRV is priced higher than CRV, there's an arb op to deposit CRV for yveCRV, and sell for CRV at a profit back to 1:1
The next conundrum is that, while yveCRV cannot be priced higher than CRV, this doesnt mean it will trade at parity. In fact, it's possible that it trades at a substantial discount.
The reason for the discount is another arb op that optimizes for the best possible boosties
I know I shouldn't, but I come bearing alpha on the new Curve strategy, given the release of the @iearnfinance yveCRV vault 🦍

I just can't help myself, you know, you spend so much time getting into the wonderful mechanics of the Curve incentive structure and 🧨💥🤯 New Paradigm...
I love governance. That prob puts me in the minority but I love the discussions, the proposals, enacting change, coming up with crazy ideas that make ppl wonder what you're smoking. So, of course, I love accumulating $veCRV
If you don't know the #CRV mechanics, the tldr is $CRV can be time locked to get $veCRV. This entitles the holder to a cut of fees on the platform. It decays over time and you cannot retrieve your $CRV until the lock expires. This also gives the holder voting rights
The other function of veCRV is that when you supply liquidity to Curve, there is a base payment made to you in CRV token. When you have veCRV, you can boost the amount of CRV you earn as an LP.
