+## crvUSD
+
+<br>
+
+### tl; dr
+
+<br>
+
+* decentralized stablecoin issued by curve, with a novel mechanism known as lending-liquidating amm algorithm (llama)
+* llama employs a kinder liquidation design that swaps a user's collateral into crvUSD as its value decreases (rather than fully liquidating a user's position in one fell swoop)
