The veModel, namely, the vote-escrowed model, has become one of the most widely used models that bring long-term value since it was introduced in Curve. That’s because it is novel in having a weight depending on time. This article will deeply discuss its mechanism and innovation in simple terms.

This article will compare two models and explain how Velodrome improves upon the veCRV template, highlighting the significant impacts of subtle differences.

As the world's second-largest AMM platform, Curve gains popularity among users for its technology and development as well as its incentive-based financial ecosystem. In the newly released whitepaper of crvUSD stablecoin, Curve proposes a novel smooth liquidation mechanism, which greatly enhances its competitiveness and attractiveness, demonstrating the large potential to become the world's first AMM platform to issue stablecoins in the near future.

In the financial market, whether it is traditional stock trading or crypto trading, short selling is a clear-defined and ubiquitous behavior. Basically, short selling and going long are counterparts in market operations. Opposite to long selling, short selling generally refers to the process of borrowing first and then selling, and then buying to repay later. In short selling, there are usually market makers serving as an intermediate lending platform, similar to credit transactions. Using this trading mode, investors can often profit when prices continue to fall. Let’s take stocks as an example. Investors borrow stocks from a brokerage firm when the stock price is high, and then sell them. When the stock price keeps falling, investors can buy stocks in the market and repay the brokerage, during which investors will earn the spread.
