Community Fund & Treasury
Community Fund
Curve initially distributed around 151M CRV to a Community Fund fully controlled by the DAO, intended for use in emergencies or as rewards for community-led initiatives such as grants. Funds can be allocated via a governance proposal and can only be distributed through a linear vesting over a minimum duration of one year.
The Community Fund is deployed on Ethereum at 0xe3997288987e6297ad550a69b31439504f513267.
If you are building something which in our view deserves a grant from Curve, please feel free to reach out in the dedicated Telegram channel: Curve Ecosystem Grants or create a proposal on the [Governance Forum].
Treasury
On June 27, 2025, the Curve DAO voted to establish a dedicated Treasury, allocating 10% of DAO revenue to it. These funds belong to the DAO and remain entirely under its control. With a successful governance vote, they can be used for any purpose the DAO chooses, such as development, research, risk assessment, bad debt insurance, bug bounties, audits, or anything else the DAO deems appropriate. Check the governance forum post here.
In comparison to the community fund, assets do not require a one-year vesting period, which makes the usage of these funds much more convenient.
The Treasury is deployed on Ethereum at 0x6508ef65b0bd57eabd0f1d52685a70433b2d290b.
