Plan Objectives

  • •Reduce emotional entries by using fixed intervals.
  • •Keep position sizing aligned with portfolio risk.
  • •Define conditions to pause, continue, or scale buys.

Execution Framework

  1. 1

    Choose a fixed weekly or bi-weekly budget for CRV and automate where possible.

  2. 2

    Split entries into equal tranches and continue regardless of short-term price noise unless thesis breaks.

  3. 3

    Use volatility spikes to pause and review, not panic sell. Resume only when your checklist still validates the thesis.

  4. 4

    Run the plan in 90-day cycles and rebalance if CRV grows beyond your target portfolio weight.

Risk Checklist

  • A 2023 exploit targeting Curve Vyper-based pools caused significant losses and tested market confidence in the protocol
  • Founder Egorov large CRV-backed loans created concentrated liquidation risk that temporarily destabilized the token
  • Intensifying competition from Uniswap v4 and other AMMs targeting stablecoin liquidity could erode Curve advantage
