Frequently Asked Questions

Conflux Wallet is a self-custody cryptocurrency wallet for the Conflux Network.

It runs as a native desktop application on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and as a mobile app on iOS and Android. The wallet manages CFX (the Conflux Network's native token) and supports both of Conflux's execution environments — Core Space and eSpace — plus Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets.

Yes.

Downloading and using Conflux Wallet is free. Network transaction fees on the Conflux Network are paid in CFX, not to Conflux Wallet — the same way Ethereum transactions cost ETH gas regardless of which Ethereum wallet you use.

Yes.

The wallet source code is published. Independent reviewers can verify what the wallet does on your device.

The official source is confluxwallet.org/download.

Download builds for Windows, macOS, or Linux there.

No.

Conflux Wallet is non-custodial — the wallet has no server that holds your keys or your CFX. Your private keys are stored encrypted on your device only. If the Conflux Wallet website went offline tomorrow, your wallet would still work because the wallet talks to the Conflux Network directly.

No.

Fluent Wallet is the Conflux browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). Conflux Wallet is a native desktop and mobile application. Both work with the Conflux Network, both use the same standard 12-word seed-phrase format, and many users keep both installed.

CFX is the native token of the Conflux Network, a Layer 1 blockchain.

CFX is used to pay transaction fees, stake for the network's built-in 4% annualized rewards, lock as storage collateral on Core Space, and vote in governance. (If you're searching for ANSYS CFX, the Yamaha CFX piano, or Pioneer DJ Smart CFX — those are different products entirely.)

The Conflux Network is a permissionless Layer 1 blockchain that uses a hybrid consensus combining Proof-of-Work block production with Proof-of-Stake finality.

It runs two execution environments: Core Space (Conflux's native VM) and eSpace (EVM-compatible). The network has been operating since 2020 and is the only regulatory-compliant public blockchain operating in China.

The Conflux Network is a decentralized public blockchain.

The protocol was founded in 2018 by a team including Fan Long (a Toronto computer-science professor and MIT PhD), Ming Wu, YuanJie Zhang, and David Chow. Andrew Yao (Turing Award 2000) is the chief scientist. The network is supported by the Conflux Foundation, Ltd. and operated by independent miners and stakers.

Core Space is the Conflux Network's native execution environment, with its own VM and address format (cfx:...). eSpace is fully EVM-compatible — it runs Ethereum smart contracts unchanged, uses standard 0x... addresses, and works with Ethereum tooling.

Both spaces are part of the same Conflux Network.

Core Space addresses use Conflux's CIP-37 base32 format with built-in error detection, prefixed with cfx: (mainnet) or cfxtest: (testnet). eSpace addresses use Ethereum's standard EIP-55 hex format, prefixed with 0x.

The address format encodes which space it belongs to, which prevents accidental cross-space sends — funds sent to a wrong-space address are rejected at validation, not lost.

Conflux 3.0, which activated in September 2025, has a designed throughput capacity of up to 15,000 transactions per second.

Real-world usage in late 2025 included over $50 billion in stablecoin transaction volume across Conflux-supported chains. The network has not had emergency halts since launch.

Download the build for your operating system, run the installer, and open Conflux Wallet.

Choose Create New Wallet to generate a fresh 12-word seed phrase, or Restore Wallet to import an existing one. Set a password that protects the wallet locally. Write the seed phrase down on paper — never store it in cloud notes, photos, or chat.

A seed phrase is a list of 12 words that mathematically derives every private key in your wallet.

It's the master backup. Anyone who has your seed phrase can access your CFX from any compatible wallet — and conversely, if you lose it and your device, the funds are unrecoverable. There is no support team that can recover it.

No.

Conflux Wallet doesn't have a server that stores your seed phrase. The wallet's setup process explicitly tells you to write it down because losing it means losing access to your wallet — that's how non-custodial wallets work by design.

Open Conflux Wallet, choose Restore Wallet, and enter your 12 words in order.

Set a new password (the password is local; it doesn't have to match any previous wallet's password). Your CFX, eSpace tokens, and transaction history populate automatically.

Yes.

Both wallets use BIP-44 seed-phrase derivation. Get your seed phrase from Fluent (Settings → Show Recovery Phrase), open Conflux Wallet, choose Restore Wallet, and enter the same 12 words. Your existing accounts appear.

Conflux Wallet is non-custodial and open-source.

Your private keys never leave your device — the wallet doesn't have a server that holds them. For maximum security, pair the wallet with a Ledger or Trezor hardware wallet so keys stay on the device. Always store your 12-word seed phrase offline.

Yes.

Conflux Wallet pairs with Ledger Nano S, Nano X, Stax, and Trezor Model T and Safe 3. Plug in the device, the wallet detects it, prompts you to install the Conflux app on the Ledger if needed, and imports your accounts.

A regular software wallet stores encrypted private keys on your computer or phone.

A hardware wallet stores keys on a separate device that signs transactions internally and never exposes the keys — even to the connected computer. If your computer is compromised, a hardware wallet's keys remain safe.

The password protects the wallet locally — it encrypts the seed phrase on your device.

If you forget the password, you can restore the wallet using your seed phrase and set a new password. If you forget both the password and the seed phrase, the funds are unrecoverable.

That's a personal-risk decision.

Common practice with cryptocurrency is to keep the bulk of long-term holdings on a hardware wallet, and a smaller "spending" amount on a software wallet for daily use. Conflux Wallet supports both flows.

CFX is listed on Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, MEXC, KuCoin, Bybit, and other major exchanges.

After buying, withdraw to your Conflux Wallet address (Core Space or eSpace, depending on which space the exchange supports). See the buy CFX guide for the full walkthrough.

Open the Stake panel in Conflux Wallet, enter the amount, and confirm.

The Conflux Network pays a built-in 4% annualized rate. Rewards accumulate on-chain and are visible in the same panel. Unstake by tapping Unstake — the protocol returns your CFX after the standard unbonding period.

The Conflux Network's built-in staking rate is 4% annualized.

This is set by the protocol, not by Conflux Wallet — every wallet that stakes CFX through the same network mechanism earns the same rate.

Inside Conflux Wallet, open the Bridge panel, choose the direction (Core → eSpace or eSpace → Core), enter the amount, and sign once.

The wallet builds a CrossSpaceCall transaction and routes it correctly. No external dApp required.

Open the transaction in Conflux Wallet's history.

If it's pending, tap Speed Up (replaces it with a higher gas price) or Cancel (replaces it with a zero-value transaction at the same nonce, which voids the original). If you're using a different wallet that doesn't have this feature, follow the manual nonce procedure on the stuck transactions help page.

The most common reasons: insufficient gas, insufficient storage collateral on Core Space, an unavailable RPC endpoint, or sending to an address in the wrong execution space.

Conflux Wallet's transaction history shows the failure reason — usually one of these four.

On Conflux Core Space, smart contracts that store data on-chain require the storer to lock CFX as collateral.

The collateral is returned when the data is deleted. This mechanism prevents on-chain spam and helps keep the network's state size manageable. Conflux Wallet handles storage collateral automatically when you interact with contracts.

Conflux Wallet for iOS and Android is in active development.

The desktop version delivers the full Conflux Wallet experience on Windows, macOS, and Linux in the meantime.

The desktop app checks for updates on launch and prompts you when one is available.

You can also redownload the latest build from confluxwallet.org/download at any time — the seed phrase and accounts persist across reinstalls.
