# Understanding cvxPRISMA

#### cvxPRISMA is tokenized vePRISMA

* If a user deposits **Prisma** into Convex, that **Prisma** is locked forever on the platform as **vePRISMA**.
* A tokenized version of **vePRISMA**, **cvxPRISMA**, is returned to the user at a 1:1 rate.
* **cvxPRISMA** conversion is unidirectional. Liquidity pools may exist that allow users to swap **cvxPRISMA** for **Prisma** tokens.

#### cvxPRISMA Staking

* **cvxPRISMA** can be staked on Convex to receive a portion of fees one would get for staking their **vePRISMA** on Prisma Finance, as **Prisma**.

Additionally, users staking **cvxPRISMA** may receive the platform native token **CVX**.
