What Is Convex Finance (CVX)?

Convex Finance is a decentralized platform that enables rewards for CRX liquidity providers and stakers, all in an easy and simple to use interface. As per its whitepaper, the asset runs on the Ethereumblockchain, and users need an Ethereum wallet to interact with the Dapps on the Convex platform. 

Convex Finance is an inventive DeFi protocol built on top of the stablecoin exchange, Curve Finance. Curve finance is a decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Ethereum blockchain designed to swap between stablecoins. The liquidity providers on this network also receive boosted CRV and liquidity mining rewards with minimal efforts. In the case of staking CRV, the platform allows its users to receive trading fees and a share of boosted CRV acquired by the liquidity providers. Hence, the whole process allows for a better balance between CRV stakers and liquidity providers with better capital efficiency. 

CVX token is the native token of Convex Finance. The token can be staked on the network to earn a share of CRV earnings of the Curve liquidity pool. The CVX token can be used for voting, such as gauge weights in the future. This digital token is minted pro-rata for each CRV token claimed by Curve LPs (liquidity pool) on the Convex platform. Minting is the process of producing and creating a new block, validating information, and recording data on the blockchain. 

The platform allocates 50% share of each token transaction on Curve LP rewards, 25% on liquidity mining, 9.7% on treasury, 1% to veCRV holders, 1% to whitelist Convex veCRV holders who vote, 3.3% to investors, and 10% to the Convex team. The platform has no withdrawal fees and minimal performance fees, which are used to pay for gas and distribution to CVX stakers.
