On August 14, an anonymous developer deployed contracts that launched Curve Finance’s CurveDAO and CRV without the knowledge of the project's founding members. The team was forced to stick with the deployment, which the team verified has followed the right procedure.

• Under a newly created twitter account called 0xc4ad, the anonymous individual said that he/she went ahead and deployed the contract because the “DAO is ready to rock and I gots to MAXIMIZE MY ALPHA!”
• The Curve team responded to the tweet and verified that everything was correct
• The team confirmed that the developer relinquished admin privileges
• The UI is not yet ready, but the team is pressing forward
• Poloniex has listed $CRV against Tether (UDST)
• Currently the biggest liquidity for $CRV is on uniswap
