# 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**. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
