tCVX
What Is tCVX?
What Is tCVX?tCVX is a token within the TILT ecosystem, created by converting CVX to tCVX.
When a user deposits CVX into the TILT platform, the CVX is locked within the protocol, and the user receives tCVX at a 1:1 ratio. This conversion is one-way and cannot be reversed.
Converting CVX to tCVX is irreversible, it is a one-way conversion. You may stake and unstake tCVX tokens, but cannot convert them back to CVX. Secondary markets may exist and allow the exchange of tCVX for CVX at variable market rates but are not guaranteed.
tCVX can be staked on the platform to access protocol rewards in the form crvUSD via emissions, and vote-related incentives. It plays a central role in the reward system, helping align long-term users with protocol growth.
Rewards earned from staking tCVX are not guaranteed and may fluctuate depending on market conditions, third-party integrations, and overall protocol performance. Users should understand that staking yields can be volatile and may change over time.
How can tCVX be created?
Creating tCVX is simple and permissionless. Users can access the TILT dApp and deposit CVX, which is locked in the protocol. In return, tCVX is minted at a 1:1 ratio and sent to the user’s wallet. Behind the scenes, the deposited CVX is held in smart contracts. This conversion is one-way and cannot be reversed.

What can you do with tCVX?
Stake for available rewards Deposit tCVX into staking contracts to earn available protocol rewards, such as crvUSD or similar.
Enhance Your Boosts
Time Boost: Earn up to 2x by keeping your tCVX staked.
TILT Boost: Lock TILT to gain an additional boost of up to 2.5x.
Total Maximum: Achieve up to 5x your base rewards.
Importantly, staking through the vault does not require users to hold or lock TILT themselves, making it an easy entry point for yield participation using only tCVX.
For users who don’t want to manage locks or acquire TILT, vaults provide a simple alternative. tCVX Vaults accept direct tCVX deposits and apply platform-wide boosts using delegated TILT. The vault is whitelisted to always receive the maximum Time Boost (2.0×), regardless of how long a user has staked.
When depositing tCVX into a vault, users benefit from three key mechanisms:
Fixed 2.0× time-weighted boost
Variable TILT Boost based on delegated weight from TILT lockers, and
Vault-specific strategies that currently involve auto-compounding rewards into more tCVX.
These rewards are earned passively and automatically, minus a small fee — a portion of which flows back to TILT delegators who supply boost power to the vault.
