According to PANews, a recent article in the overseas edition of People's Daily titled 'Tree Graph: The World-Class Public Chain Built by the Yao Class Team of Tsinghua University' reported that the 'Yao Class' team at Tsinghua University has created a world-class public chain, Conflux. The Conflux project, led by Yao Qizhi, began its research and development in 2017 and has since garnered widespread attention.

In 2020, the Conflux blockchain mainnet officially went live, achieving high-performance consensus throughput in a real network environment. Conflux has evolved into a global blockchain network, serving tens of millions of users and facilitating hundreds of millions of transactions. The team is currently collaborating with China Telecom to launch a SIM card with blockchain account management features, aiming to lower the technical barriers to entry.
