Key Concepts

Overview​

Convex is a decentralised platform for the Internet of Value, offering flexibility and scalability far beyond the capabilities of traditional blockchains. In particular, it is designed to support high volume, interactive applications used directly by end users such as for mobile apps, payments and gaming.

Governance​

Convex is governed by the non-profit Convex Foundation. The Foundation performs the following activities:

  • Ensures good governance of the Convex Network
  • Operates key resources on behalf of the community, including the https://convex.world website and developer resources such as GitHub repositories
  • Acts as this initial issuer of Convex Coins to individuals and organisations, including management of the release curve
  • Provides awards for contributors to Convex (e.g. open source developers)
  • Supports the development of the Convex ecosystem via partnerships, marketing, education and other initiatives
