The Convergence Protocol provides greater liquidity, transparency and inclusion to the trading of real world asset exposure in DeFi via the Convergence token wrapping module and Convergence AMM. Convergence Finance combines the advantage of security tokens with the liquidity, automation and transparency features of DeFi to bring real asset liquidity and exposure to DeFi.
Convergence Protocol: The Decentralized Interchangeable Asset Protocol
The Convergence Protocol will be the first to make real world asset exposure interchangeable in the DeFi space by connecting Wrapped Security Tokens (WSTs) with UTs on a single interface that is easy to use, adopt and composable with other DeFi protocols.
1) Wrapped Security Tokens
WSTs is the new type of token that will be traded across the Convergence ecosystem: the Convergence AMM and other liquidity venues.
- Tied-in Economic Exposure
We have designed a proprietary token wrapping module that ensures both from an on-chain and off-chain perspective, economic benefits will be transferred to WST holders subject to token holders’ views via DAO. For example, the assurance for WST holders that they can monetize from the proceeds of a company’s (e.g.SpaceX) IPO.
WSTs are not limited just for trading and liquidity purposes. By working with different types of DeFi protocols, WSTs will flow around the DeFi supply chain with increased types of utilities. We will soon see stablecoins supported by WSTs, and lending & borrowing protocols with WSTs as collaterals.
2) Convergence Protocol
The Convergence Protocol consists of the token wrapping module, Convergence AMM infrastructure,
Convergence Pools and ConvergenceDAO.
This is Convergence Protocol’s secret sauce and proprietary asset. Think about BTC <> WBTC. This is the token wrapping layer for creating WSTs with features mentioned above. WSTs will be injected into Convergence AMM.
- Convergence AMM Infrastructure
Built on Ethereum and being EVM-compatible with other chains (ie. Binance Smart Chain, Moonbeam and more), Convergence AMM enables trading WSTs 24/7 and real asset price discovery. The feature intelligently finds the best order routing from aggregated liquidity sources to give traders the best prices. It eliminates complexities and allows ease of access for retail investors, fund managers, and digital-native investors around the world to freely provide liquidity and trade amongst the pools.
Convergence Pools gives asset owners the flexibility to easily create and manage their own market making strategies. By creating their own pools, asset owners can perform initial WST offerings alongside providing liquidity for further trading for DeFi users. It eliminates complexities and allows ease of access for retail investors, fund managers, and digital-native investors around the world to freely provide liquidity and trade amongst the pools.
The purpose of setting up the ConvergenceDAO is to provide greater transparency and decentralization to the Convergence Protocol. CONV tokens holders will have governance rights to vote on various proposals. For example, the types of WSTs to be included in Convergence AMM and utility tokens that can be used to swap certain WSTs. Users are the decision makers on whether DOGE <> SpaceX can happen.
3) Native Token (CONV)
The Convergence native token serves several functions:
The CONV token and its holders form a self-governed community that reflects the needs of its members. Holders of the token may vote on governance matters such as new assets, listing on exchanges, and any liquidity thresholds to be maintained.
Liquidity providers will receive a split of the transaction fee in the form of CONV tokens.
Holders of the token may also receive exclusive participation access to new initial WST offerings and pre-sale events.
