Convex Finance

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

Convex Finance's governance or utility token carries a market capitalisation of $183.7M based on circulating supply at the latest DeFiLlama snapshot. The token's market cap ($183.7M) is small relative to deposits secured by the protocol ($722.7M); a mcap/TVL multiple of 0.25× is sometimes read as a discount, though it can also reflect minimal fee accrual to the token. A further $108.8M sits in the protocol's native staking modules — these deposits are typically locked, vote-bonded, or earning a share of fees, and they reduce the freely circulating float that can hit the market.

Market cap and supply figures are sourced from DeFiLlama's price feed (which reconciles CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and on-chain DEX prices). Treasury and staking values reflect on-chain balances controlled by the protocol at last sync.

Convex Finance operates in the Yield category of DeFi. It is deployed across 4 chains, including Ethereum, Fraxtal, Arbitrum, Polygon. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file). DeFiLlama tracks 8 historical events for this protocol since 2021.

Convex Finance operates on 4 networks (Ethereum, Fraxtal, Arbitrum, Polygon), keeping its surface area narrower than chain-agnostic peers. Roughly 98% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Ethereum, Ethereum-staking, staking), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts. Its token market cap ($183.7M) is small relative to TVL ($722.7M) — a mcap/TVL ratio of 0.25 is often read as the token being structurally undervalued versus the activity it secures.
