Convex Finance
About
Convex Finance is a decentralized finance yield optimization and liquidity management protocol built on Ethereum to maximize yields for Curve Finance, Frax, and f(x) Protocol liquidity providers and token holders. The protocol enables liquidity providers to earn boosted staking rewards and trading fees without locking their CRV, FXS, or FXN tokens. By pooling user deposits, Convex acquires vote-locked governance power in underlying protocols, which it uses to direct token emissions toward its supported liquidity pools. Token holders can lock CVX to receive protocol fees, platform revenue share, and voting incentives across integrated decentralized exchanges.
