Convex Finance is a leading DEX liquidity pool on Ethereum that allows Curve Finance liquidity providers (LP) and stakers to earn boosted CVX and CRV, Curve DAO's native token. MixBytes audited Convex Finance before its launch to maximize security. CVX is the name and ticker symbol of Convex Finance's native platform token.
Convex Finance maintains the liquidity of all assets while maximizing rewards. Curve LP tokens earn users trading fees, CRV, and liquidity mining incentives in CVX. At the same time, CRV stakers get a share of the boosted CRV, CVX tokens, and Curve's trading fees. Curve LP tokens can be withdrawn at any time.
Additionally, users can provide liquidity to the cvxVRV/CRV and CVX/ETH liquidity pools on the SushiSwap decentralized exchange and earn SUSHI LP tokens. SUSHI LP tokens earned can be staked on Convex to earn liquidity provider rewards in CVX. With CVX, users will earn a share of Curve LP's CRV earnings. Likewise, users who stake CVX will receive cvxCRV fees. Finally, CVX holders can vote on protocol decisions.
CVX price and tokenomics
Convex Finance has a maximum supply of 100 million CVX tokens. 50% of the CVX supply is reserved as Curve LP rewards on Convex Finance. The protocol mints CVX proportional to each CRV token claimed by Curve LPs on Convex Finance. The CVX/CRV mint ratio reduces every 100,000 CVX, thus impacting CVX price.
25% of the CVX supply is reserved for liquidity mining, 9.7% is allocated to the Convex Finance treasury, 3.3% for investors, and 10% will go to the Convex Finance team. The treasury, investor holdings, and Convex Finance team tokens will follow a one-year vesting schedule. As vesting tokens are unlocked, CVX price charts will be impacted. The remaining 2% of tokens is airdropped to veCRV holders.
