Michael Egorov. The name already evokes the wonderful dream of rug pulls created by a quantum physicist moonlighting as a DeFi architect, but it gets even better. Yet the legacy of Egorov and Curve Finance is much more complicated than a tale of success turned tragic. Was his heavy hand...
It's still a thing in 2025, surprisingly. Though many had called it dead, it has changed, transformed, adapted and arguably grown more menacing. Why?
