Summary:
On October 15th, codes of 3 proposals (BIP340–342) led by Bitcoin core developer Pieter Wuille were officially merged into the main branch of Bitcoin code [1].

However, liquidity providers often find that the returns are less than expected.
Based on this, this article first analyzes the core mechanism of Curve operation-the StableSwap model, which combines the constant sum formula and the constant product formula to form a curve between constant sum and constant product, so that users can trade within certain areas with the relatively stable price, avoiding slippage problems, and greatly reducing the risk of impermanent losses for the liquidity provider (LP), thus leaving the user with the impression of “low wear”. …
