Curve launched Llamalend v2 on Optimism, supporting multi-asset collateralized lending

Odaily Planet Daily reported that Curve Finance has launched the lending protocol Llamalend v2 on Optimism, as the first phase of a major upgrade, with plans to deploy it on the Ethereum mainnet in the second half of 2026. The new version removes the restriction of supporting only crvUSD, allowing almost any combination of collateral and lending assets, and adds LlamaRisk to be responsible for collateral evaluation and market management. Users can use Curve LP tokens as collateral, borrowing funds while retaining market-making exposure, thereby improving capital efficiency. (The Block)
