What is Curve Finance?
Curve is a major decentralized exchange specialized in stablecoin and like-asset swaps. CRV holders lock tokens for veCRV, which boosts rewards and grants voting power over which pools receive incentives.
How to stake CRV
- Go to the official Curve Finance site or app linked on this page.
- Connect a wallet holding CRV and review the current staking or lock-up terms — these are set by the protocol and can change.
- Choose how much CRV to stake or lock, and for how long, if the protocol asks you to select a lock duration.
- Confirm the transaction. Rewards or voting power are typically calculated based on the amount and duration you commit.
- Track the unlock date if one applies, and note that early exit is often not possible once a lock period is chosen.

Unbonding & lock-up
Locking CRV for veCRV is a fixed-term commitment you choose up front, from one week up to four years — the tokens are not accessible again until that term ends.
