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.

eSpace

Cross Space BridgeLearn about the cross-space bridge, enabling seamless transfer of assets and data between Conflux's eSpace and Core Space.
Network RPC EndpointsFind a list of network endpoints for eSpace.
EVM CompatibilityUnderstand eSpace's VM compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), facilitating the deployment of EVM-compatible smart contracts and dApps on Conflux.
JSON-RPC CompatibilityDiscover eSpace's JSON-RPC compatibility with Ethereum RPCs.

Core Space

TitleDescription
Getting Started with Core SpaceBegin your journey in Conflux's Core Space, understanding its fundamental concepts and operations.
Developer QuickstartA quickstart guide for developers to use js-conflux-sdk to send their first Core Space transaction.
Developer TutorialsDeveloper tutorials for building on Core Space, covering contract deployment, contract verification, and Sponsorship.
Core Space BasicsLearn about the foundational concepts of Conflux's Core Space, including accounts, transactions, and gas.
Core Space TransactionsLearn about everything about Core Space Transactions, including tx fields, lifecycle, common errors
Core Space Network RPC EndpointsFind a list of network endpoints for Conflux's Core Space.
Core Space JSON-RPC ReferenceLearn about the JSON-RPC protocols in Core Space for remote procedures.
StorageUnderstand 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 MechanismDiscover Conflux’s gas sponsorship mechanism, which facilitates smart contract usage without gas costs, allowing sponsored contract executions even by new, zero-balance accounts.
Internal ContractsConflux 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.
