Convex Overview
Convex is a decentralised lattice platform for building fair, efficient, and sustainable economic systems: a single programmable global state, secured by leaderless consensus, open to everyone — including autonomous AI agents.
If you only have a minute, these are the claims that matter, each linked to its evidence:
- Transactions confirm in under a second, with zero block delay. Peers publish a block the moment a transaction arrives; leaderless CPoS consensus orders everything with built-in front-running resistance.
- The CVM executes up to a million transactions per second in benchmarks, on commodity hardware — with figures validated in the EU's Next Generation Internet programme.
- The lattice is bigger than the chain. The same technology runs a replicated file system, a SQL database, streaming queues and federated AI orchestration — see Lattice Technology.
- AI agents are first-class economic participants. Every peer is an MCP server; agents hold accounts, own assets and transact under exactly the same rules as everyone else.
- The security record is public. Nobody has ever taken a Convex Coin on testnet without the owner's private key, through years of open testing.
