The potential recession in the U.S. economy, increasingly stringent regulatory policies, and Hong Kong's strong embrace of Web3 create a stark contrast. Foreigners are pointing to the Chinese market and investors, represented by Hong Kong, as the driving force behind the growth momentum of Crypto, even shouting the slogan "Long China." Many projects have completed a 180° switch from foreign to domestic identity overnight, from previously trying to conceal their "domestic teams" to now actively showcasing their Chinese language skills to enhance their sense of belonging. Conflux, which focuses on the Chinese blockchain market, has successively formed strategic partnerships with major domestic companies such as Xiaohongshu and China Telecom, creating a unique digital collection ecosystem that other public chains do not have, in conjunction with the domestic policy environment. This article will review the projects from the Conflux ecosystem.
Wallets
Fluent (https://fluentwallet.com/)
A wallet officially supported and recommended by Conflux, users can use it as a plugin on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browsers. Fluent supports EVM chains including Conflux eSpace and Ethereum, allowing users to transfer and store assets using Conflux Core and eSpace within a single wallet extension. Additionally, Fluent supports HD wallets and hardware wallets.
AnyWeb (https://anyweb.cc/)
AnyWeb is a blockchain asset wallet designed for Chinese users' habits, supporting standard NFT asset management, apps, mobile H5, mini-programs, and the Conflux public chain. AnyWeb has no token-related features, real-name on-chain verification, and is encrypted and hosted in the cloud by a hot wallet, supporting seamless integration with the official SDK.
DeFi
Swappi (https://app.swappi.io/#/swap)
Swappi is the most commonly used DEX on the Conflux chain, where users can engage in trading, liquidity mining, staking, lotteries, and Launchpad functions. It supports trading of 15 assets including BNB, ETH, WBTC, USDC, and CFX, as well as 19 liquidity mining LPs such as CFX-ETH, CFX-USDT, CFX-WBTC, and CFX-USDC. Swappi has launched the governance token PPI and the Genesis Pass NFT, which can provide holders with whitelist access and eligibility for airdrops from other Conflux eSpace projects. According to DeFiLlama data, Swappi's current TVL is approximately $12 million, accounting for 82% of Conflux's total TVL.
Moonswap (https://moonswap.fi/)
Moonswap is the second-largest DEX on Conflux, supported by Conflux Network and the cross-chain asset protocol ShuttleFlow, and does not require users to pay gas fees, as they are covered by Conflux contracts. The project is entirely community-driven and currently supports various FT and NFT assets including ERC20, CRC20, ERC721, and ERC1155. Users can trade and provide liquidity on the platform, as well as trade and auction NFTs on the Conflux chain. Additionally, Moonswap offers a governance system where community users holding the non-tradable token XGenesis can vote, and XGenesis can be redeemed through Genesis NFT, Believer NFT, Dreamer NFT, Aspirant NFT, Resonator NFT, or Idealist NFT.
Nucleon (https://www.nucleon.space/#/data/stake)
Nucleon is a liquid staking solution for Conflux PoS, allowing users to stake CFX without locking assets or maintaining infrastructure. When users stake on the platform, they receive xCFX at a 1:1 ratio (representing their staked CFX). xCFX helps users earn yield and loan rewards, with daily updates to reflect CFX staking rewards. Nucleon charges a service fee of 10% on staking rewards. Nucleon has launched NUT, allowing holders to vote on proposals using treasury funds. Currently, over 12 million CFX, worth over $6.8 million, are staked on Nucleon, with an APY of approximately 18.7%.
Goledo (https://www.goledo.cash/)
Goledo is a lending protocol forked from Aave. The platform's revenue comes from the interest rate spread on loans and flash loan fees, with 50% of the revenue distributed to GOL stakers and locked users, while the other half goes to the Goledo treasury. Additionally, unlike staking without a lock-up period, users who lock up GOL will face a three-month lock-up period. They can enjoy platform revenue, but if they withdraw early, they will incur a 50% penalty, which will be distributed to other GOL locked users.
Stablecoins
CNHC (https://www.cnhc.to/)
CNHC (CNH Coin) is a stablecoin pegged to the Chinese Yuan at a 1:1 ratio, currently issued on Conflux and Ethereum. The fiat reserves of the CNHC group are protected by licensed trusts held by internationally renowned custodial banks, and independent auditing firms regularly review CNHC's offshore RMB reserves. However, due to compliance reasons, CNHC does not provide services to users in mainland China. In addition to Conflux, CNHC's partners include Circle and KuCoin.
Insurance
INS3 (https://conflux.ins3.insure/#/ins3/overall)
INS3 is a decentralized cross-chain insurance provider that uses an innovative model of "DeFi + NFT + oracle + cross-chain" to provide users with CDS commercial insurance.

On the Conflux chain, INS3 protects approximately $25,000 in assets.
Bridge
ShuttleFlow (https://shuttleflow.io/)
ShuttleFlow supports cross-chain asset transfers through the Conflux chain as a relay bridge, compatible with Fluent or MetaMask. Currently, ShuttleFlow supports cross-chain transfers of 49 assets including ETH, LINK, and USDC across six networks: Conflux, BSC, Ethereum, Bitcoin, HECO, and OKExChain.

(https://forum.conflux.fun/t/149-discoverse/17299)

CaTalk
(https://forum.conflux.fun/t/148-conflux-did-web3/16947)
CaTalk is positioned as a Web3 community based on Conflux DID. Users will have new identity attributes on-chain, such as digital asset NFTs and digital identity SBTs. Based on this new identity, new social connections will emerge, with groups of the same identity becoming a key form of social interaction. CaTalk will rebuild this group on the basis of DID. Currently, CaTalk has built its own NFT/digital collectibles issuance platform "ChaoMiao" and plans to collaborate with 50 domestic digital collectibles projects in the short term to establish project holding group chats and further improve platform basic services and functional details centered around group chats and topics.
