The core value of blockchain is the establishment of a trustworthy and participatory decentralized platform without relying on the endorsement of any organization or individual. Conflux serves to maximize this core value.

Conflux inherit the central design idea of Bitcoin: computing power is the only weapon in competing for the right of block generation. Additionally, in Conflux, the order of all transactions is solely determined by the Tree Graph (TG) . Conflux strives to prevent illegal transactions – each transaction in the core chain is examined by all nodes of the network. The strict algorithm design and the comprehensive theoretical analysis of Conflux protect itself from most attacks. More importantly, Conflux pursue the efficiency without sacrificing any of its safety, decentralization or trustworthiness.

Most of the current PoW-based blockchain systems have a very limited transaction throughput rate, which is far lower than the centralized transaction services that can support >1,000 transactions per second. Such a low throughput rate restricts the possibility of exploiting more meaningful applications from the blockchain. By adopting the Tree Graph (TG), Conflux realized a high throughput rate of 3000-6000 TPS without compromising decentralization. In the future, we anticipate that Conflux will have versatile applications in many fields, such as financial transactions, Internet ID, IoT, property rights.
