Conflux (CFX) – voting for burning tokens
Conflux Network issued a proposal for burning 76 million CFX tokens – a significant part of the total circulation. The goal is to reduce inflationary pressure and enhance the stability of the economic model. Voting started on April 28 and will last until June 11. After completion, the transaction data will be published in the blockchain.
In parallel on the network, a streaming program was updated. The basic profitability is 4% per annum, but can grow to 8–12%, depending on the share of surpassed tokens. This should stimulate the long -term retention of CFX and participation in maintaining network security.
Also, the “Storage Point” mechanism was added in the version of version V2.3.0: some of the tokens are burned when placing a bail for data storage. This enhances the deflation of the project economy.
Conflux – first -level blockchain, founded in 2018 by Chinese researchers, led by the laureate of the Turing Prize Andrew Yao. The network uses Tree-Graph’s hybrid architecture and maintains scalability and compatibility with different protocols. The project collaborates with the state structures of China and Asian corporations, developing an ecosystem in the fields of Defi, NFT and corporate solutions.
