Conflux at a glance.
Conflux runs two spaces: a Core Space built on its Tree-Graph consensus and an EVM-compatible eSpace for Ethereum tooling. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

How Conflux works.
Conflux orders transactions with a Tree-Graph ledger, which arranges blocks as a graph rather than a single chain so several blocks can be processed together. The GHAST rule decides which blocks count toward the agreed history. A proof-of-work layer produces blocks while a proof-of-stake layer was later added to provide finality and added security.

Tree-Graph ledger
Blocks are organized as a graph instead of one linear chain, which lets the network reference and confirm multiple blocks at once.
GHAST rule
GHAST is the rule that selects the main history from the graph and weights blocks, keeping ordering consistent as blocks arrive in parallel.
Core Space and eSpace
Core Space uses Conflux native addresses and consensus, while eSpace is a separate EVM-compatible environment that runs Ethereum smart contracts and tooling.
Hybrid PoW and PoS
Proof of work produces blocks and a later proof-of-stake layer adds finality, so the two mechanisms work together to secure the chain.
What Conflux is used for.
CFX is used to pay transaction fees, to stake, and to take part in network governance, with applications spread across Core Space and the EVM-compatible eSpace.
Transaction fees
CFX pays the gas that processes transactions and runs smart contracts across both spaces.
Staking
Holders can lock CFX to take part in the proof-of-stake layer and related network functions.
EVM applications
Developers deploy Ethereum-style contracts on eSpace while reaching the wider Conflux network.
