Documentation Overview

Welcome to the Conflux Network Developer Portal! This comprehensive portal is designed to guide you through the complexities of Conflux Network, a high-performance, decentralized blockchain network. Here, you'll find detailed summaries of the platform's foundational concepts, tools, and guidelines.

Conflux Network have two spaces: Core Space and eSpace, the develop experience of Core Space and eSpace are different, check docs below for how to start build on each space.

If you have any questions regarding the documentation, feel free to create an issue, send feedback emails to build@confluxnetwork.org or join our Discord channel to engage in discussions with us.

Core Space Transactions	Learn about everything about Core Space Transactions, including tx fields, lifecycle, common errors
Core Space Network RPC Endpoints	Find a list of network endpoints for Conflux's Core Space.
Core Space JSON-RPC Reference	Learn about the JSON-RPC protocols in Core Space for remote procedures.
Storage	Understand Conflux's Collateral for Storage (CFS) mechanism, a more fair and reasonable pricing method for using storage in Conflux Core Space, compared to Ethereum.
Sponsorship Mechanism	Discover Conflux’s gas sponsorship mechanism, which facilitates smart contract usage without gas costs, allowing sponsored contract executions even by new, zero-balance accounts.
Internal Contracts	Conflux introduces several built-in internal contracts for improved system maintenance and on-chain governance in Core Space, including AdminControl, SponsorWhitelistControl, Staking, ConfluxContext, PoSRegister, and ParamsControl.
Run a Node	Familiarize yourself with the process of setting up and operating a Conflux node, becoming an integral part of the network.

Understanding the Conflux Network

Title	Description
Spaces	Explore the dual-space ecosystem of Conflux, facilitating seamless integration of Conflux-format and Ethereum-format transactions within a single network.
Consensus Mechanism	Discover Conflux's hybrid PoW-PoS consensus mechanism, combining Proof of Work with Proof of Stake for enhanced security and performance.
TreeGraph & GHAST	Learn about the TreeGraph blockchain structure and GHAST algorithm, foundational components of Conflux's Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism.
Proof Of Stake	Understand Conflux's Proof of Stake (PoS) as a part of its hybrid PoW-PoS consensus mechanism, enhancing security and performance.
Economics	An introduction to the economic model of Conflux, including the native token, CFX, and its utility within the network.
Governance	Overview of Conflux Governance.
