Centralised gatekeepers have dominated our economies for too long, extracting rents, inflating costs, and excluding billions from participation. Convex is the public, decentralised foundation for real-time exchange of data and value.
Three convictions that drive everything we build
We want open, inclusive, decentralised economies at global scale—free from centralised control and unnecessary middlemen. This can only occur with true self-sovereign control of data and assets, backed by a powerful open protocol.
Getting the whole world to use decentralised applications requires realtime, interactive performance, low transaction costs, and simple operation. Existing blockchains are failing to deliver this. Convex is not a blockchain—it offers a fundamentally more compelling path.
Convex is developed on open-source principles and governed by a non-profit foundation. We are not owned or dependent on money from VCs, power brokers, or centralised organisations. 100% of Convex Coins are issued to those who bring value to the ecosystem.
The manifesto that guides every decision
Voluntary exchange is the engine of human prosperity. Convex facilitates open systems where participants freely create mutual value—without coercion, gatekeepers, or centralised control.
Participation in the digital economy is a human right. No one should be censored, excluded, or forced to pay tribute. Convex returns control over data, assets, and identity to the individual.
Economic systems must fuel human progress without plundering the Earth. Convex rejects energy-hungry consensus, embracing Convergent Proof of Stake—fast, secure, and ecologically defensible.
Billions remain locked out of global markets. Convex tears down those walls. Anyone with an internet connection joins on equal footing—self-sovereign, first-class, and permissionless.
Users demand seamless experiences. CPoS is leaderless, slashing latency to milliseconds. Zero block delay. No mempool. No front-running. Atomicity is ironclad.
Open economic systems thrive on transparency. Data in the global state is available to all—enabling better decisions, independent audits, and accountability at every layer.
Governed by the non-profit Convex Foundation. No VC dumps. No pre-mines. Decentralised governance is the destination—on-chain, credentialed, and attack-resistant.
Transaction costs should be negligible—enough to fairly compensate infrastructure, never enough to exclude. Scalable efficiency means low cost passed directly to users.
A unified architecture, not a patchwork of protocols
A leaderless, Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus algorithm that achieves finality in milliseconds. No chains, no blocks to mine, no energy waste. The network converges to truth through elegant mathematics.
Explore CPoSA boundless, self-healing cloud of decentralised data and computing power. Content-addressable, cryptographically verified, infinitely scalable. The global data fabric that makes everything else possible.
Explore LatticeA deterministic runtime built on the lambda calculus. Turing-complete smart contracts, on-chain compilation, and the full power of functional programming—designed for both humans and autonomous agents.
Start BuildingFrom first principles to a living network
Convex was created by Mike Anderson, a technology veteran who started coding at age eight and represented the UK in the International Olympiad in Informatics. During a decade at McKinsey & Company, he witnessed the inefficiencies of centralised organisations and knew there had to be a better way to organise our economies.
While working as founding CTO at Ocean Protocol, he saw the promise of decentralised systems but also the need for a fundamentally better base layer. This led to a programme of deep research, tackling multiple design challenges to make Convex possible—from inventing Convergent Proof of Stake, to developing Lattice technology, to building a new kind of virtual machine based on the lambda calculus.
The Convex Foundation was established in 2020. After years of brutal testing across global testnet deployments—including validation through the EU Next Generation Internet initiative—Convex proved its global scale and stunning energy efficiency. The network is now launching Protonet: the first live Convex network with real assets.
Convex is open-source, governed by a non-profit, and built for public benefit. The future of decentralised economies is being written now.
