# Understanding cvxFPIS

&#x20;                        <img src="/files/hfbO0u52WMfYmpRBFtev" alt="" data-size="original">**cvxFPIS -** Convex-locked FPIS

### cvxFPIS is tokenized veFPIS

* If a user deposits **FPIS** into Convex, that **FPIS** is locked forever on the platform as **veFPIS**.&#x20;
* A tokenized version of **veFPIS**, **cvxFPIS**, is returned to the user at a 1:1 rate.&#x20;
* **cvxFPIS conversion is 1-way.** Liquidity pools may exist that allow users to swap **cvxFPIS** for **FPIS** tokens.

### cvxFPIS Staking

* **cvxFPIS** can be staked on Convex to receive fees one would get for staking their **veFPIS** on Frax, as **FPIS**.&#x20;
* Additionally, users staking **cvxFPIS** may receive the platform native token **CVX**.

Frax has voted to merge FXS with FPIS governance tokens, and Convex has since sunsetted cvxFPIS and will be converting its FPIS to veFXS. **Convex Finance will support the migration of both FPIS and cvxFPIS to cvxFXS at a 3 to 1 ratio**. See more details about this in the [FPIS to FXS Migration section](/convexfinance/general-information/convex-for-frax-finance/fpis-to-fxs-migration.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.convexfinance.com/convexfinance/general-information/convex-for-frax-finance/understanding-cvxfpis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
