Background and Impact
On October 29, 2026, Curve Finance and the Stellar Development Foundation announced that Curve has launched on the Stellar mainnet. According to same-day reports from Odaily, PANews (citing The Block), and Wu Blockchain, this is Curve's first non-EVM native deployment and its first native deployment outside the EVM ecosystem. Currently available is StableSwap, which allows users to permissionlessly create liquidity pools, swap assets, and provide liquidity. The team also plans to launch FXSwap after the audit is completed, but no timeline has been announced.
Curve founder Michael Egorov stated that the expansion to non-EVM chains is partly driven by institutional demand, and that Stellar is relatively close to existing EVM usage habits. All three sources are consistent in their description of this statement. Regarding descriptions of subsequent features, details differ among sources: PANews explicitly wrote that FXSwap is used for trading stablecoins and other assets pegged to different currencies, while excerpts from Odaily and Wu Blockchain did not elaborate on this use case; all three confirmed that FXSwap requires audit completion and has no timeline. Regarding scale data, both Odaily and Wu Blockchain cited DeFiLlama data, stating that Curve's current total value locked is approximately $1.27 billion.
From the event itself, this is Curve's first time placing a native deployment on a chain outside the EVM system, while Stellar was described by the founder as having usage habits relatively close to EVM, providing a clue to understanding its choice; institutional demand was named as one of the driving factors. It should be noted that this announcement disclosed that StableSwap is live and FXSwap is planned, but neither the audit completion time nor the FXSwap launch time was given, so the short-term observable milestone remains the official follow-up announcement. The $1.27 billion TVL data is for the entire protocol; the material did not break down the Stellar portion, making it impossible to judge the specific increment brought by this deployment.
For users wishing to follow such cross-chain deployments, common search entries include keywords such as HTX registration APP download, Gate.io registration APP download, Bitget registration APP download, Binance registration APP download, and OKX registration APP download; for this event, the confirmable subsequent milestones are the completion of the FXSwap audit and the announcement of an official timeline, neither of which currently has a specific date.
FAQ
### What can ordinary users do now with this launch?
Currently available is StableSwap, which allows users to permissionlessly create liquidity pools, swap assets, and provide liquidity. FXSwap will only launch after the audit is completed; the official timeline has not been announced, and it cannot be used at this stage.
### Will Curve continue to deploy to other non-EVM chains?
The material only states that this is Curve's first non-EVM native deployment; Michael Egorov stated that the expansion is partly driven by institutional demand, but did not disclose a list or schedule for subsequent chains.
### What is the relationship between the $1.27 billion TVL and the Stellar launch?
This figure comes from DeFiLlama and represents Curve's current total value locked, cited by both Odaily and Wu Blockchain. The material did not break it down by chain, so it is impossible to judge the specific increment brought by the Stellar deployment.
