The network was founded by [Fan Long](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fan-long), [Ming Wu](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ming-wu), and [Yuanjie Zhang](https://iq.wiki/wiki/yuanjie-zhang). [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-zat5qdxefmb)  \n  \n# Overview  \n  \nConflux is a public [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) known for its high performance, novel [consensus mechanism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism), and dual-space design, which is suitable for [decentralized finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) and gaming applications. The hybrid [consensus mechanism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) of Conflux combines [Proof of Work (PoW)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-work-pow) and [Proof of Stake (PoS)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) to ensure security, high throughput, and decentralization. The [PoW](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-work-pow) [consensus](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) uses the Tree-Graph ledger structure and GHAST algorithm, achieving up to 3,000 transactions per second (TPS) with confirmation times within 1 minute, maintaining decentralization comparable to [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) and [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum). The [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) [consensus](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) provides network finality, reducing the risk of a 51% attack and allowing Conflux to handle numerous transactions efficiently. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-t2q73drjhua)  \n  \nConflux has two spaces: Conflux Core Space and Conflux eSpace. The Core Space utilizes the hybrid [consensus mechanism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) and includes a [contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) sponsorship feature, enabling users to interact with contracts without needing a balance. The eSpace is compatible with the [Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm), allowing developers to migrate [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) to Conflux eSpace and benefit from its performance and scalability. The CrossSpaceCall [contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) enables communication and atomic operations between Core Space and Space. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-t2q73drjhua)  \n$$widget0 [YOUTUBE@VID](5JwUO3v2sW0)$$  \n  \n# Technology  \n  \n## Spaces  \n  \nThe Conflux v2.0 (Hydra) upgrade introduced Spaces through a CIP-90 governance proposal. Spaces is an abstract concept used to distinguish Conflux-format transactions from [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)-format transactions. It allows for the virtual creation of a sub-chain of the original Conflux network, known as Space. Core Space refers to the original Conflux network, while eSpace is a virtualized [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) chain running on top of Core Space. The two spaces are logically independent and do not affect each other. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-ykastzlvxl)  \n  \nSpaces can be considered a virtualization technology, whereas eSpace is a virtualized [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) chain operating on Conflux. This setup reduces migration costs for projects and users and provides the benefits of Conflux’s low fees and high TPS. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-ykastzlvxl)  \n  \n### Core Space  \n  \nConflux Core Space is the native space of the Conflux network. It features a Tree-Graph ledger structure and consensus algorithm that performs better than [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) and [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) without sacrificing decentralization. This supports the development of the Conflux ecosystem. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-ykastzlvxl)  \n  \nCore Space is a [smart contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) platform that evolved from [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm). It allows development using Solidity with various optimizations, including [contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) administration and [transaction fee](https://iq.wiki/wiki/transaction-fee) sponsorship mechanisms. Core Space also includes built-in contracts for [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking), cross-space communication, and on-chain governance. The account address format in Core Space uses base32 encoding, which is different from [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) addresses, and provides unique JSON-RPC interfaces. Interaction with Conflux Core Space requires proprietary wallets and SDKs. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-ykastzlvxl)  \n  \n### eSpace  \n  \nConflux eSpace is a fully [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-compatible chain of Conflux with lower [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) fees and higher TPS than [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), independent of Core Space. The experience of eSpace for developers and users is similar to [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum). [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) [dApps](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) can be deployed to eSpace without modification. [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) development tools (Remix, Hardhat, Foundry), SDKs (ethers.js, viem, web3.py), wallets ([Metamask](https://iq.wiki/wiki/metamask), Taho), and services (TheGraph) can be directly used in Space. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-ykastzlvxl)  \n  \neSpace functions similarly to [BSC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/binance), [Polygon](https://iq.wiki/wiki/polygon), or Aurora for [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) developers. Core Space and eSpace share the same ledger for data storage, with transactions from both spaces in a single block but distinguished by their encoding. Each space operates independently with its transactions, account statuses, and contracts, while an internal bridge allows for specific atomic calls between the two spaces. [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-ykastzlvxl)  \n  \n### Bitcoin Layer 2 (BTC L2)  \n  \nIn January 2024, Conflux Network introduced an [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-compatible [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) solution, leveraging [Bitcoin’s](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) strengths and integrating features like [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake)-based [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking). This enhances interoperability between blockchains and provides more channels for interacting with decentralized applications. [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-quozm949m7t)  \n  \nThe [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) [consensus](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) infrastructure, with over 300 [nodes](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node), uses Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS)-based key sharing for decentralized [BTC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin-btc) asset management. It distributes responsibilities across [nodes](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) to enhance security and prevent single points of failure. The [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) [consensus](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) protocol records the root hash of the latest ledger state onto the [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) network. It is a reliable [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) [Oracle](https://iq.wiki/wiki/oracle) that provides [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain)-related metadata through internal contracts. This allows on-chain contracts to access events on the [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-quozm949m7t)  \n  \nWith [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm) compatibility, Conflux enables seamless management of [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin)-based assets like [BTC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin-btc) and xRC20 tokens through [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract). It supports [decentralized finance (DeFi)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) and [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) applications, including complex financial instruments, yield-generating protocols, and interactive gaming experiences. [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-quozm949m7t)  \n  \n## Proof of Work (PoW)  \n  \nConflux employs the [PoW](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-work-pow) [consensus mechanism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) for network security. Utilizing the Tree-Graph ledger structure and the GHAST chain selection rule, Conflux maintains the same level of decentralization and security as [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) and [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) while achieving significantly higher transaction throughput and reduced confirmation latency. [\\[8\\]](#cite-id-qi9h506u6)  \n  \n### Tree-Graph  \n  \nConflux's core is the Tree-Graph ledger structure and the GHAST chain selection rule. In distributed ledgers, handling concurrent blocks, or forks, is essential. Traditional [blockchains](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) like [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) and [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) use the longest chain rule to select one [fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fork) and discard the rest, which does not contribute to security or throughput. This creates a conflict between scalability and security. Conflux addresses this by incorporating all concurrent blocks into its ledger, enhancing security and performance. Conflux replaces the longest chain rule with the GHAST chain selection rule, which selects a [fork](https://iq.wiki/wiki/fork) based on the [mining](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mining) power working on its subtree rather than just on a chain, making the selection more robust. This allows for a block creation rate of up to 2 blocks per second and can withstand liveness attacks. [\\[9\\]](#cite-id-sxdfyky7sa8)  \n  \nThe Tree-Graph ledger structure in Conflux features each block having a single parent edge and a list of reference edges to previous blocks, introducing new information about the before-after relationship between blocks. This structure, a directed tree embedded within a [DAG](https://iq.wiki/wiki/directed-acyclic-graph-dag), is named Tree-Graph. To process transactions, Conflux first selects a pivot chain in the Tree-Graph using GHAST. Then, it orders the ledger into a linear sequence of blocks using the pivot chain and reference edges, and finally, it executes transactions following this linear order. [\\[9\\]](#cite-id-sxdfyky7sa8)  \n  \n### GHAST (Greedy-Heaviest-Adaptive-SubTree)  \n  \nThe Conflux Research Group developed the GHAST mechanism to address the \"liveness attack\" issue by modifying the block weight system used in the heaviest chain rule. GHAST determines the block type at the miner's discretion rather than its historical tree-graph structure. The heaviest chain rule is implemented by selecting the child block with the highest weight from the current last main chain block's child tree. Block weight calculation now considers both block count and the sum of weights. By allowing miners to generate special blocks, GHAST increases block difficulty and reduces block production speed, mitigating the \"liveness attack\" issue. [\\[10\\]](#cite-id-wfcehjl4k1)  \n  \n## Proof of Stake (PoS)  \n  \nTo counter [51% attacks](https://iq.wiki/wiki/51percent-attack), Conflux will implement a stand-alone [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) chain. Participants in the [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) [consensus](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) will regularly sign the pivot of the tree structure, and PoW miners must follow the pivot with sufficient signatures, even if its sibling blocks have higher weights. This ensures that if the [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) [consensus](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) votes on a pivot block, any attempts by [51% attackers](https://iq.wiki/wiki/51percent-attack) to reverse the block will not be recognized by the [PoW](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-work-pow) [nodes](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node). The [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) [consensus](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) specifies pivot blocks in a restrictive manner, requiring blocks to be confirmed for a few minutes under [PoW](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-work-pow) rules before [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) [nodes](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) sign them. Thus, block sorting and confirmation remain the responsibility of [PoW](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-work-pow) miners. [\\[11\\]](#cite-id-lok9ao9tmi)  \n  \nThe PoS chain's sole purpose is to address [51% attacks](https://iq.wiki/wiki/51percent-attack). It features only pivot block voting and voting committee elections, without general [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) functionalities like transactions and contract executions. These features are integrated into Conflux [nodes](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node); there is only one external program: conflux-rust. The Conflux chain refers to the running [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), while the [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) chain refers to the newly introduced chain, generating approximately one [PoS](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-stake) block per minute. [\\[11\\]](#cite-id-lok9ao9tmi)  \n  \n# Ecosystem  \n  \nConflux Network is a [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) ecosystem with a novel tree-graph [consensus mechanism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/consensus-mechanism) that enhances scalability and efficiency.
