Bent Finance is a staking and farming platform to enhance your curve returns. Like CVX, BENT has been developed by an “anon team” and is more or less to CVX what CVX is to CRV, this is how it works:

• Anon will deposit stables to Curve but not “stake in gauge”
• Instead of staking these Curve LP tokens in Convex, they stake them in BENT which yields out all of the Convex rewards they would have received by directly staking on Convex minus 17% (more on this below) plus this yields a healthy amount of BENT, which will make up for and more than the 17% slash. Keep in mind this system is emulated from convex which itself takes a 17% clip from crv deposits
• Anon can also stake in the DAI/BENT pool on Sushi Swap for happy rewards or participate in BENT staking or CVX staking
• CVX staking will be used to vote on the Convex Gauge and controlled by the BENT stakers.
