Spearheaded the integration of the Frax stablecoin into Curve pools, including the establishment and promotion of FRAX‑3CRV and related pools that became material venues for stablecoin liquidity. That concrete product decision increased the variety of base assets in Curve and created new channels for CRV emissions to be directed to pools serving Frax liquidity. Coordinated incentive programs and cross‑protocol collaborations that used CRV emissions to bootstrap FRAX liquidity on Curve, including directing protocol treasury actions and collaborating with liquidity providers to encourage deposits. Those documented incentive allocations and liquidity campaigns drove meaningful changes in pool composition and in the distribution of gauge votes, thereby impacting how CRV rewards were captured by LPs. Engaged in technical and governance-level discussions with Curve participants to tune pool parameters and reward schedules to better accommodate algorithmic stablecoin behavior and fractional reserve mechanics inherent to Frax. These technical interactions and on‑chain proposals are recorded in governance history and directly altered how Curve accommodated non‑canonical stablecoins. The practical result of these actions was measurable: additional stablecoin liquidity routed to Curve pools increased TVL, altered market depth and strengthened demand for CRV through both direct emissions capture and indirect effects on boost and locking economics among large LPs that sought enhanced reward multipliers.
