The Evolution of Blockchain Performance
Blockchain technology functions as a decentralized shared database, offering immutable data, full traceability, and transparency. While its applications span digital finance, IoT, and supply chain management, scalability remains a critical challenge—until now.
Shanghai’s TreeGraph Blockchain Research Institute has unveiled its Conflux TreeGraph Public Chain System 1.0, a groundbreaking solution achieving 3,000 transactions per second (TPS)—700x faster than Bitcoin and 75x Ethereum’s capacity.
Why This Breakthrough Matters
1. Solving the Scalability Trilemma
Traditional blockchains sacrifice decentralization or security for speed (e.g., reducing nodes in consortium chains). Conflux’s novel consensus algorithm maintains all three:
- 3,000+ TPS with <30-second confirmations.
- 5,000+ nodes operational for 120+ days.
- Dynamic weight adjustment to counter malicious attacks without compromising throughput.
2. Bridging the Usability Gap
- Bitcoin: 7 TPS, ~1-hour confirmation.
- Ethereum: 30–40 TPS, 10-minute confirmation.
Conflux’s near-instant transactions rival centralized systems, enabling mass adoption for DeFi, gaming, and enterprise use cases.
Technical Innovations
Consensus Algorithm
- High-throughput ordering: Parallel transaction processing without sharding.
- Attack resilience: Adjusts block weights during live threats to sustain performance.
Real-World Deployment
- Launched October 2020; processed 4M+ transactions from 10,000+ users.
- Open-source with 100% independent IP, challenging Western tech monopolies.
Strategic Implications
Global Leadership
Conflux positions China as a rule-maker in public blockchain standards, countering Ethereum and Bitcoin’s dominance.
Economic Safeguard
Amid inflationary fiat policies (e.g., Fed’s QE), decentralized infrastructures like Conflux offer crisis-resistant alternatives.
"Blockchain will reshape socio-economics as profoundly as the internet."
