Investment Risk

Baseline risk

All crypto-assets are risky, regardless of the type of token you hold. Here are some ‘baseline’ risks to be aware of before deciding to invest.

Investment risk: The performance of most crypto-assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto-assets.

Lack of protections: Crypto-assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto-asset investments.

Crypto-assets are complex: It may be difficult to understand the risks associated with a crypto-asset investment. Do your own research and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket: Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments such as crypto-assets.

Defi tokens

Decentralised Finance (or ‘DeFi’) tokens (e.g. , ) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology.

Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens.

Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralized manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets.

For example, the Perpetual Protocol (PERP) and Quickstop (QUICK) protocols may be accessible in jurisdictions where some or all the available activity may need to be regulated now or in the future. If a regulator deemed the activity to be in breach of regulation, this could seriously impact token value.

Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens.

Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or ‘oracles’. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols.

Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

About Convex Finance

CVX is the ERC-20 utility token of Convex Finance, which permits Curve Finance liquidity providers to earn boosted rewards. CVX tokens function as Convex Finance’s governance token, and can be locked in exchange for a portion of the platform's earnings.

Convex Finance (CVX) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that strives to compensate Curve liquidity providers for their participation on Curve without the need for staking liquidity there. Instead, liquidity providers can stake with Convex and receive boosted CRV and liquidity mining rewards. This approach seeks to provide CRV stakers with improved capital efficiency and positions Convex Finance as a participant in the ongoing "Curve wars". The protocol's function is to manage Total Value Locked (TVL) to gain control over Curve Finance, a large decentralized exchange (DEX) by TVL.

Convex Finance operates through a unique incentive structure. It targets CRV holders and Curve liquidity providers in two ways: CRV holders receive cvxCRV for staking their CRV, and Curve liquidity providers receive boosted rewards for staking their LP tokens with Convex. Convex Finance acts as a pool that aggregates the assets of individual stakers, allowing even low-level investors to stake their Curve Finance LPs with Convex and receive boosted rewards. Stakers are compensated for their provided liquidity, a share of the Curve trading activity, the boosted rewards from Convex, and CVX tokens. Additionally, CRV tokens can be staked to receive cvxCRV, which yields veCRV rewards, Convex trading activity, CVX tokens, and airdrops going to veCRV token holders.

The primary use case for Convex Finance is to provide a platform for Curve liquidity providers and CRV holders to earn rewards. By staking their CRV or LP tokens with Convex, users can receive boosted rewards that may not be attainable otherwise. This includes compensation for their provided liquidity, a share of the Curve trading activity, and the boosted rewards from Convex. Additionally, users can stake their CRV tokens to receive cvxCRV, which provides further rewards such as veCRV rewards, Convex trading activity, CVX tokens, and airdrops going to veCRV token holders. CVX tokens can also be used to participate in proposals in the Convex Finance protocol, providing users with a say in the protocol's governance.

Convex Finance was developed by an anonymous team of developers. Despite the anonymity of its creators, Convex Finance is a known protocol in decentralized finance. The protocol plays a role in the ongoing "Curve wars", a competitive race to gain control over Curve Finance, a large DEX by TVL. Convex Finance was audited by MixBytes to aim for its security. However, a bug in one of the smart contracts led to the re-deployment of the vote-locking contract and a temporary fluctuation in the value of CVX.
