What is Clover Finance?

The Clover Finance token or CLV is the native token of Clover Finance - a layer 1 blockchain based on Substrate with a focus on paving the way to Web 3.0. CLV stands for Connectivity, Legible, and Versatile.

CLV has more than one use case, however, one of its primary functions is governance. As a governance token, CLV allows token holders to participate in the decision-making process in Clover Finance via voting. In addition to governance, CLV can be used to cover transaction fees.

Furthermore, The Clover Finance token plays a key role in securing the network via staking.

What are the Main Features of Clover Finance?

Clover Finance is a blockchain-based operating system (OS) built on Polkadot’s Substrate framework. It can be used to build cross-chain decentralized apps (dApps).

Besides a myriad of cross-chain features like a cross-chain DeFi bridge, CLV boasts EVM compatibility, a unique gas fee model based on network activity, and also offers a novel version of dApps called eApps, among many other features.

One of the primary goals of the project is to facilitate the creation of user-friendly Web3 products and services.

As discussed in the “What is Clover Finance” section, the platform operates using a Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus mechanism. There are two key participants in this type of consensus - nominators and validators. 

To put it simply, validators run nodes and earn rewards while nominators earn a share of those rewards by staking CLV tokens towards a validator which is also known as nominating a validator.

CLV Wallet is one of the featured products on the Clover Finance platform. It’s a non-custodial digital wallet for your crypto assets that offers EVM compatibility. Users can access it via different mediums including mobile, desktop, and web.
