1. Select the token that you want to deposit and enter an amount;
2. Choose between minting **`cvgCVX`** with **`CVX`**, or swapping **`CVX`** for **`cvgCVX`**. Swapping may results in getting more **`cvgCVX`** if the peg is below 1;
3. Choose if you want to lock your **`CVX`** deposit on Convex. Not locking is less expensive in gas, but a 0.25% deposit fee will be charged;
