CFX is the native cryptocurrency of the Conflux Network, a public, permissionless, Layer-1 blockchain platform. Conflux is known for its innovative approach to addressing the "blockchain trilemma" (the trade-off between scalability, security, and decentralization).

Here's a breakdown of what CFX and Conflux Network are about:

Conflux Network's Technology

* Tree-Graph Consensus Mechanism: Instead of a linear blockchain, Conflux uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure called "Tree-Graph." This allows it to process multiple blocks and transactions in parallel, leading to high throughput and faster confirmation times.

* Hybrid Consensus: The network utilizes a hybrid consensus mechanism, combining elements of Proof-of-Work (PoW) for security and a unique PoS (Proof-of-Stake) system for network finality. This approach aims to provide the robust security of PoW without sacrificing scalability.

* EVM Compatibility: Conflux is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which makes it easier for developers to migrate existing decentralized applications (DApps) from Ethereum to Conflux or build new ones.

The CFX Token

The CFX token is essential to the Conflux ecosystem, serving several key functions:

* Transaction Fees: Users pay for transaction fees on the network using CFX.

* Staking and Security: CFX can be staked to contribute to the network's security and earn rewards.

* Governance: CFX holders can participate in the governance of the Conflux Network by voting on proposals and shaping the platform's future.

* Ecosystem Participation: CFX is used to interact with DApps, access features, and participate in activities within the Conflux ecosystem.

Key Features of Conflux

* High Throughput: Conflux is designed to handle a large volume of transactions per second with major players like China Telecom. It aims to bridge communities and ecosystems between Asia and the rest of the world.$CFX
