Conflux has built a reputation as a cutting-edge technology thanks to its “Tree-Graph” consensus algorithm, which enables the blockchain to achieve a high transaction throughput (tps) of up to 6,000 transactions.
As inferred earlier, the Conflux ecosystem has been experiencing steady growth since the turn of the year. Recently, the blockchain disclosed a partnership with dappOS, which promises mutual benefits for both entities.
