Conflux is led by a group of computer science scholars from the University of Toronto and China’s Tsinghua University which includes Turing Award Winner Dr. Andrew Chi-Chih Yao. Considered a computer science legend, Dr. Yao has been recently dabbling into several aspects of cryptocurrencies such as incentives or consensus. Some of that work resulted in a research paper that outlines the basics of the Conflux chain.
They have received funding from a group of notable investors to the likes of Sequoia China, Baidu Ventures, crypto exchange Huobi, Metastable and IMO Ventures. Show Less
