Interpolated Yield Curve - I Curve

What Does It Mean?
What Does Interpolated Yield Curve - I Curve Mean?
A yield curve derived by using on-the-run treasuries. Because on-the-run treasuries are limited to specific maturities, the yield of maturities that lies between the on-the-run treasuries must be interpolated, which can be accomplished by a number of methodologies, including bootstrapping and regressions.

Investopedia explains Interpolated Yield Curve - I Curve
Several different types of fixed-income securities trade at yield spreads to the I curve, making it an important benchmark. 

For example, certain agency CMOs trade at a spread to the I curve at a spot on the curve equal to their weighted average lives. A CMO's weighted average life will most likely lie somewhere within the on-the-run treasuries, which makes the derivation of the I curve necessary.
