What Is Convergence?

## What Is Convergence (CONV)?

Convergence Finance aims to provide access to quality projects and IDO by creating a robust DeFi ecosystem in a secure and compliant environment utilising infrastructure built on its native CONV tokens, enabling cross-chain compatibility to maximize liquidity across different chains so users can interact with private-sale token projects and transact beyond the ERC20 standard.

Convergence Finance is the first AMM to make private tokens interchangeable in the [DeFi] (https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-decentralized-finance) space by fractionalizing them using a single easy-to-use interface and composable with other DeFi protocols.

Convergence Finance combines the edge of a lowered investment entry barrier with the liquidity, automation, and transparency features of DeFi to bring exclusive investment exposure to all DeFi users.

CONV is a multi-chain protocol utility token on Ethereum and Moonbeam Network with the following utilities
* Access premium launchpad subscription pool
* Earn AMM pool staking rewards
* Provide Governance rights for future protocol DAO
* Serve as the base token to facilitate future cross-chain swaps 

### What Makes Convergence Unique?

Supported by institutional and individual investors like Hashed, Alameda Research, OKX, Pantera, Divergence Ventures and Kenetic, Convergence has attracted a lot of attention and aims to democratize investment by making private markets public. Convergence also enables cross-chain compatibility to maximize liquidity across different chains so users can transact beyond the Ethereum ERC20 standard.

Convergence Finance has extended its product suite from Ethereum to the Moonriver and Moonbeam ecosystem recently for an optimized cross-chain AMM and launchpad experience with fast confirmation and low transaction fees.

What Is Velas (VLX)?
Velas is a pioneering solana L1 Fork with Full EVM blockchain bridging the gap between EVM familiarity and unparalleled performance.

Velas is an highly unique dual-chain architecture, seamlessly merging the best of both worlds: the robust security and established developer ecosystem of the EVM with the lightning-fast transaction processing capabilities of Solana. This hybrid approach unlocks a treasure trove of possibilities for Ethereum projects seeking to escape congestion and scale to new heights.

The defining feature of Velas lies in its full EVM compatibility. Existing Ethereum smart contracts can be migrated seamlessly with a single click, eliminating the need for costly code rewrites and preserving the valuable expertise invested in the EVM ecosystem. This one-click migration paves the way for a smooth transition, allowing developers to leverage their existing skills and tools on a platform built for speed and scalability.

It leverages the power of Solana’s parallel transaction processing to deliver lightning-fast speeds exceeding 75,000 TPS. This translates to near-instantaneous transaction finality and minimal fees, a stark contrast to the congested and expensive environment of Ethereum. For dApps and users, this translates to a smoother, more efficient experience.

But speed is just the beginning. Velas is also:

Decentralized: No central authority controls the network. Power is in the hands of the community through a secure Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

Carbon-neutral: Velas is committed to sustainability, utilizing a green PoS mechanism that minimizes energy consumption.

Accessible: Building on Velas is a breeze with its extensive developer tools and EVM/Solidity support.

Covalent leverages big-data technologies to create meaning from hundreds of billions of data points, delivering actionable insights to investors and allowing developers to allocate resources to higher-utility goals within their organization.

Instead of painstakingly sourcing data from a small handful of chains, Covalent aggregates information from across dozens of sources including nodes, chains and data feeds. The Covalent API then sources end-users with individualized data by wallet, including current and historical investment performance across all types of digital assets. Most importantly, Covalent returns this data in a rapid and consistent manner, incorporating all relevant data within one API interface.

Having achieved product-market fit, we are now planning to execute the next phase of Covalent, which is a progressive decentralization that will enable the Covalent Network to be owned and operated by its users. Of course, a critical piece to this is CQT.

CQT is the native token of the Covalent Network. It has three primary purposes:

CQT is a governance token, whereby token holders vote on proposals to change the system parameters.

CQT is a staking asset. Validators will earn fees for answering queries.

CQT is a network access token that fulfills data queries for users of the API.

Developer resources include:

Covalent Knowledge Base for extensive guides on how to use the Covalent API. 

Covalent API Documentation.
