curve-stablecoin VS pm

Oh boy... so that's a deep Rabbit Hole. The Curve stable is somewhere between DAI and FRAX with the primary innovation being a new continuous liquidation system. I read the whitepaper several times and I still got things wrong about my understanding compared to what is in prod now. Originally I thought existing Curve LP tokens were going to be the collateral, but instead it's a unique market with crvUSD and one volatile token at a time. Then there's the Peg Keeper which I have not seen a good explainer of yet but basically it acts like a Frax AMO. I've commented on it a few times if you dig into my post history. I think it's a biggest thing since DAI honestly. Otherwise you have to dig deep into some tweet threads from the Curve Finance newsletter to get your head around it. Here's the docs. but I haven't found them very helpful.

On December 8, 2022, the Ethereum core team held an All Core Developers (ACD) meeting. The Ethereum team agreed to target March 2023 as the release date for Shanghai’s mainnet launch. However, this is a tentative date based on the assumption that the Zhejiang, Sepolia, and Goerli testnets are successful.
