1. Throughput performance

Conflux’s tree-graph consensus allows it to achieve 3,000–6,000 TPS at the L1 layer (actual stable operating value), and the latest version 3.0 has a theoretical upper limit of 15,000+ TPS. By comparison, Ethereum mainnet supports only 15–30 TPS and relies on Layer 2 scaling; Solana’s theoretical value is 65,000 TPS, but in actual operation it often fluctuates between 2,000–4,000 TPS.

2. Stability advantage

Conflux has processed over 400 million transactions in total, and during this period there has never been a network outage or transaction congestion, whereas Solana has experienced full-network downtime multiple times. Its tree-structured design enables parallel block processing, so even during traffic spikes the network will not get congested.

3. Cost efficiency

Conflux’s transaction fees remain consistently below $0.01 over the long term, far lower than Ethereum’s high Gas fees during peak periods. Its fees are at the same level as Solana’s low fees, while offering higher security and compliance.

4. Trade-offs and positioning

Conflux represents a middle path that balances security and performance.

Unlike Solana, which pursues extreme speed (at the expense of stability), and unlike Ethereum, which relies on Layer 2 scaling, Conflux achieves high throughput, low latency, and strong security at the L1 layer through its unique tree-graph structure.

Summary

In terms of performance, Conflux far outperforms Ethereum’s mainnet (TPS increases by hundreds of times, fees decrease by thousands of times). Compared with Solana, it has advantages in stability—although it has a lower theoretical peak TPS, its real-world operation is more reliable and has never gone down.

Its core competitiveness lies in the combined advantages of tree-graph consensus, regulatory-compliant positioning, and stable operation.
