Curve Finance has taken a major step in expanding its decentralized lending capabilities with the launch of Llamalend v2 on the Optimism network. The new protocol removes restrictions that previously required lending pairs to include crvUSD, the protocol's native stablecoin.
This upgrade enables users to create lending markets with virtually any combination of collateral and borrowed assets, including Curve LP tokens as collateral. This change is expected to appeal to sophisticated DeFi users seeking to optimize their capital allocation.
