About Convex Finance

Convex Finance is a DeFi protocol designed to maximize rewards for liquidity providers and token holders across Curve, Frax, and f(x) Protocol — without requiring you to lock tokens yourself.

🚀

Our Mission

Convex Finance was built with a single clear goal: give every DeFi participant access to the maximum possible yield — regardless of how much capital they hold or whether they have locked governance tokens themselves.

By pooling veCRV, veFXS, and veFXN voting power collectively, Convex Finance applies the maximum boost to all depositors' liquidity positions simultaneously. This means individual users receive rewards as if they personally held maximum governance voting power, without the lock-up requirements and capital costs that would normally entail.

We believe DeFi should be accessible, efficient, and transparent. Convex Finance embodies those values by being fully non-custodial, immutable, and open to anyone in the world.

How Convex Finance Works

Convex Finance operates as an intermediary layer between liquidity providers and the underlying DeFi protocols. When you deposit your LP tokens into Convex Finance, the protocol stakes them on your behalf using its accumulated governance voting power to apply the highest possible boost to your rewards.

Step 1 — Deposit

Deposit your Curve, Frax, or f(x) LP tokens into Convex Finance through a simple, one-click interface. No lock-ups required on your end.

Step 2 — Boost Applied

Convex Finance automatically stakes your tokens with maximum boost applied from the protocol's pooled governance voting power.

Step 3 — Earn Rewards

Rewards accumulate continuously. Claim them at any time — CRV, CVX, and additional incentive tokens flow directly to you.

Step 4 — Withdraw Freely

Your LP tokens are never locked by Convex Finance. Withdraw anytime without penalty or waiting periods.

Key Features

Convex Finance delivers a comprehensive set of features designed to make yield optimization simple, safe, and maximally profitable for every participant.

Boosted Yields

Access up to 2.5× boost on CRV and FXS rewards without holding any veCRV or veFXS yourself. The collective power of all Convex Finance depositors works for you.

CVX Token

CVX is Convex Finance's native governance and value-accrual token. Locking CVX gives holders voting rights over billions in DeFi emissions across Curve, Frax, and f(x) Protocol.

Non-Custodial

Smart contracts are immutable and non-custodial. Convex Finance never controls your assets — everything is governed by audited, trustless code deployed on Ethereum.

Multi-Protocol

A single platform to optimize yields across Curve Finance, Frax Finance, and f(x) Protocol, with support for hundreds of pools and vaults across ecosystems.

Governance Power

Locked CVX holders collectively control over $520k in bi-weekly emissions across DeFi, making vlCVX one of the most sought-after governance assets in the ecosystem.

Transparent Treasury

Convex Finance maintains a fully transparent on-chain treasury with over $14m in assets. All holdings are publicly verifiable at any time.

The Team Behind Convex Finance

Convex Finance was founded and is maintained by a globally distributed team of DeFi developers, economists, and protocol engineers who are committed to building long-term, sustainable yield infrastructure for the ecosystem.

The team operates with a pseudonymous ethos common in DeFi, prioritizing code and protocol design over personal branding. Community governance through vlCVX voting ensures that Convex Finance's direction is guided by its token holders, not a centralized team.
