Curve’s automated market maker is rewarding its liquidity providers with CRV, which has led to a so-called “war” with various protocols bribing voters and rewarding veCRV holders with their respective native tokens, according to a notice from Delphi Digital.
The war saw the DeFi platform Convex (CVX) “have a big impact” on Curve’s valuable governance vote, said Delphi-Digital.

“Convex is now the single largest owner of veCRV with 47% of the total supply. This gives them the greatest authority to decide where CRV incentives should be distributed. “
In turn, the dominance of Convex has resulted in protocols bribing the owners of vlCVX. vlCVX is the token from Convex that can use the underlying VeCVX governance.
“This has been a pretty lucrative practice for vlCVX holders who have received ~ $ 2.75 worth of bribes per CVX suspended since September 21 last year.”
Protocols, the most important thing Frax finance (FRAX), have also started hoarding CVX tokens to create incentives for liquidity, according to Delphi Digital.
