Curve Accuses PancakeSwap of Code Copying Without Authorization

Curve Finance has publicly accused PancakeSwap of using its StableSwap code without authorization. This alleged violation is considered illegal by Curve, and the protocol warns that it has historically shown to be unwise for projects that took a similar approach.

The accusation comes just days after PancakeSwap launched a new StableSwap feature on March 1, designed to offer lower slippage on stablecoin pairs. This feature was implemented without prior licensing authorization from Curve.

Curve posted on X: 'Looks like you copied our code without asking. It is violation of its license. Not only it is illegal: historically it showed to be unwise for those who did it this way in other regards.'

The protocol offered to engage PancakeSwap on licensing terms and potential collaboration, but no further public statements have been made by either party as of the time of writing.
