Conflux (CFX)
16/04/2026
Conflux (CFX) is a proof-of-work blockchain that uses a tree-graph (DAG-based) structure instead of a traditional linear chain. This design allows Conflux to achieve higher throughput while preserving decentralization.
Key facts
- Algorithm: Octopus
- Mining hardware: GPU
- Consensus: Proof of Work (tree-graph / GHAST)
- Native token: CFX
Tree-graph structure
Unlike Bitcoin's linear blockchain, Conflux processes multiple blocks simultaneously in a tree-graph. This lets it handle more transactions per second without sacrificing security.
