What are Curve DAO Token and CRV?
Curve DAO Token (CRV) is the protocol’s governance token. It’s based on the ERC-20 token standard and deployed on Ethereum.
In simple terms, governance tokens are used to participate in protocol decisions where the protocol supports that process. That makes CRV different from a payment-focused coin: Its core role is tied to governance in the Curve protocol.
