# Convex Intro

Convex is an open platform for building decentralised applications that require a high performance, trusted global state without needing to depend on centralised services.
8+

It delivers the promise of the Internet of Value, offering flexibility and scalability far beyond the capabilities of traditional blockchains. In particular, it is supports high volume, interactive applications used directly by end users such as for mobile apps, payments and gaming.

- Prevent denial of service attacks by people flooding the network with wasteful transactions. This makes it very expensive to launch such attacks.
