CFX

Conflux was founded in 2018, but its fundamental technology has been in development since 2017. It aims to promote blockchain education and research through the Tree-Graph Research Institute, based in Shanghai.

The company is led by its founder, Fan Long, a talented programmer who specializes in blockchain technology and cybersecurity. Long graduated from Tsinghua University, and he holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT, where he also received the university’s Best Dissertation Award. He is currently an assistant professor at Toronto University.

Long’s two co-founders are YuanJie Zhang, Ming Wu (CTO), and the company's research director, Guang Yang. The core team is composed of scientists, business managers, researchers, and other professionals.

The protocol's Tree-Graph consensus mechanism was created by Professor Andrew Chi-Chih Yao, a well-known figure in academic computer science, a Turing Award winner, a fellow of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the head scientist of the Conflux Foundation.

The Conflux project has a distinctive technical architecture that is meant to solve a number of industry issues and make life easier for both dApp developers and common users.

Conflux interoperates with other blockchains thanks to its cross-chain protocol, ShuttleFlow. This cross-chain bridge lets Conflux transfer assets to other networks like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Huobi Eco Chain, and OKEx Chain.

The platform gives programmers access to a decentralized, secure, and scalable network, as well as a set of necessary tools and conditions that are compliant with the relevant regulations. As a result, developers can create multi-chain, scalable, secure, and censorship resistant dApps in line with the demands of investors and the crypto community.

The Tree-Graph consensus algorithm used by Conflux ensures scalability without sacrificing decentralization. Due to the parallel processing of blocks and transactions, the network can process 300–6000 TPS of data per second.

Thanks to its scalability, Conflux provides lower fees compared to other networks like Ethereum. Additionally, because transaction fees are paid for by sponsors thanks to the Fee Sponsorship Mechanism, even users with negative balances can continue using the platform and engage with the blockchain.

Additionally, the platform has an integrated staking system that offers users who stake their coins passive rewards. Staking involves less risk than trading and offers more consistent rewards. Developers can choose to directly offer staking inside of dApps, and the system provides a financial framework for dApp development.

CFX is Conflux’s native token. It’s used to pay transaction fees, as a value store, and to earn staking rewards and other miner incentives. CFX owners can also take part in the management of the network and have an impact on how it grows and changes.

As of March 2023, there is 2,654,264,782 $CFX in circulation out of a total supply of 5,278,164,274 $CFX.

CFX is distributed as follows: 40% goes to the ecological fund, 36% to the core team and seed investors, 16% to private investors and reserves, and 8% to the community fund.

As of March 2023, Conflux (CFX) is available on crypto exchanges and investing platforms like Binance, KuCoin, OKX, Gate.io, Bitget, BKEX, Phemex, Indodax, MEXC, LBank, CoinEx, Tokocrypto, DigiFinex, Deepcoin, XT.COM and several others.
