Định hướng trong hệ sinh thái Convex — thứ gì nằm trong repository nào, specs và docs ở đâu, và những thư viện client nào tồn tại. Sử dụng khi bạn cần ngữ cảnh…

Convex is a lattice-based decentralised network and execution platform. Data merges like CRDTs rather than forming a linear chain, consensus is Convergent Proof of Stake (CPoS), and the CVM is a lambda-calculus virtual machine for functional smart contracts.
This repository (Convex-Dev/convex) is the reference implementation. Several
things an agent needs are deliberately not here.
Where Things Live
| What | Where |
|---|---|
| Reference implementation — CVM, consensus, peer, CLI, tooling | Convex-Dev/convex (this repo) |
| CADs — normative specifications | Convex-Dev/design, under docs/cad/ |
| Glossary and tutorials | Convex-Dev/design, under docs/tutorial/ |
| Rendered docs | https://docs.convex.world |
The design repository is the authority on what Convex should do; this
repository is what it currently does. When they disagree, one of them has a
bug — see the cad-reference skill for how to find the governing CAD.
Do not assume design is checked out locally. Use https://docs.convex.world
unless you have confirmed the repository is present alongside this one.
Module Map
The 14 Maven modules are listed in AGENTS.md with their purposes, and each
has its own README.md. In short: convex-core holds the CVM, consensus and
Etch; convex-peer the networking, including the NodeServer; convex-cli,
convex-gui and convex-restapi the interfaces; convex-p2p the P2P node
stack, whose P2PNode runs a NodeServer.
Client Libraries
| Language | Repository |
|---|---|
| Java | convex-java module in this repo |
| Clojure | Convex-Dev/convex.cljc |
| TypeScript | Convex-Dev/convex.ts |
| Python | Convex-Dev/convex-api-py |
Prefer the in-repo convex-java module for JVM integration — it is versioned
with the network implementation.
Networks
- Protonet (production):
peer.convex.live - Testnets are used for tooling and experimentation; the endpoint in use is
recorded in
AGENTS.mdunder Network Defaults.
Anything you deploy to Protonet is real. Confirm the target network before any
transaction, and prefer a local network for development — see the
local-network skill.
Terminology
Convex has its own vocabulary and it is not interchangeable with blockchain terminology. Never substitute "gas", "fees", "blockchain", "chain", "miner", "validator", "block", "wei", "satoshi" or "mainnet".
Use: CVM coin, Copper, Juice, Peer, Actor, Lattice, CPoS, Belief, Etch, CAD,
CNS, Protonet. The canonical glossary is at
https://docs.convex.world/docs/tutorial/glossary — check it rather than
guessing at a translation.
Related Projects
The ecosystem page at https://docs.convex.world lists community projects,
wallets, demos and integrations. Treat that list as the current source; entries
here would go stale.
