Introduction

Some answers to common questions can be found here.

This guide is for developers interested in learning the basics of Convex Lisp. We assume a general familiarity with programming concepts, but no prior experience in Lisp. We will take you through the basics of the language. Veteran Lisp hackers may wish to skip this section, though there are some unique features in Convex Lisp worth noting.

Account

This page defines the building blocks you'll meet everywhere in Convex: the vocabulary of accounts, transactions and actors, and the economic model that keeps the network sustainable. For why the platform is built this way, see What Makes Convex Different; for the underlying technology, see Lattice Technology.

Lattice Technology is the foundation of Convex — a robust, self-sustaining, and democratic infrastructure for sharing data and computation globally.

In the Gentle Lisp Introduction we covered the basics of the Convex Lisp language. This guide builds on these basics to introduce the key ideas of programming on the Convex CVM.

Building Open, Decentralised Economies for the 21st Century

Convex is a general purpose, programmable decentralised network with global state. As such, there is no inherent limit on the nature of applications that can be built. Here are some of the things that Convex can be used for, and are being actively developed within the Convex community:
