Curv launches Curv DeFi – an Institutional-grade enterprise DeFi, in partnership with MetaMask
By Pavithra R
Curv, a cloud-based Institutional Digital Asset Wallet Service provider has announced the launch of Curv DeFi, institutional-grade enterprise decentralized finance (DeFi) solution.
DeFi generally refers to digital assets and financial smart contracts, protocols and DApps. It aims to create a financial system that is open to everyone and minimizes one’s need to trust and rely on central authorities.
Curv DeFi is built on Curv’s successful integration with the Compound protocol and new partnership with ConsenSys. Curv will leverage MetaMask’s (a wholly-owned subsidiary of ConsenSys) leading DApp interoperability and user interface (UI) to provide clients with a unique solution that combines ease-of-use with the enterprise controls and enforcement mechanisms which institutions require to build out their DeFi strategies.
“MetaMask is the premier non-custodial experience for interacting with DeFi applications. We are excited to partner alongside technology leaders like Curv to build institutional-grade operations and compliance that traders need in order to really start growing their participation in DeFi,” said Patrick Berarducci, Global FinTech Co-Head, ConsenSys.
The greatest hindrance to institutional adoption of DeFi has been the inability to adopt DApps seamlessly, support all the various DeFi protocols and provide the required levels of security. Curv DeFi solves these challenges and enables institutions to:
- Accelerate their DeFi strategy by avoiding custom integrations and adopting any DeFi application, ensuring secure and constant support for all DeFi protocols
- Benefit from the same enterprise-level controls and protections they are accustomed to for their digital asset operations
- Leverage the institutional onramps needed to conduct secure transfers in support of their decentralized finance strategy
“We believe by combining our unique multi-party computation (MPC)-based security infrastructure with MetaMask, we will be able to play a significant role in the institutional adoption of DeFi. We are excited by the launch of our institutional DeFi solution and look forward to helping MetaMask achieve the same level of success in the institutional market that they have in retail,” said Curv Co-Founder and CEO Itay Malinger.
Founded in 2018, Curv mitigates the blockchain’s irreversible single point of failure by eliminating the concept of private keys and providing an enterprise-grade policy engine. The firm enables easy addition of assets to any portfolio, without having to use any hardware or manage blockchain infrastructures.
