Application Introduction:
Project Name: NerveNetwork (Conflux eSpace)
Problem Statement and Solution:
Problem:
Despite Conflux eSpace’s robust infrastructure and growing ecosystem, it still lacks direct interoperability with mainstream public blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Tron, Base, etc. Without a universal, gas-free cross-chain infrastructure, onboarding assets and liquidity from external networks remains a major barrier—limiting the DeFi use cases, user participation, and total value locked (TVL) on Conflux.
Solution:
NerveNetwork will integrate its cross-chain infrastructure with Conflux eSpace, providing two robust cross-chain solutions:
1.A non-pool protocol using lightweight, modular virtual bank nodes with multi-signature management and standardized cross-chain interfaces.
2.A liquidity pool-based protocol, supporting both AMM and stable swap mechanisms.
This integration will enable seamless asset migration between Conflux and 40+ blockchains via NerveBridge, while SwapBox will offer intuitive cross-chain swaps, and NerveSwap + NerveFarm will provide high-performance liquidity and farming services for CFX and Conflux-based tokens.
Alignment with Conflux Network:
1.NerveNetwork and Conflux collaborate in cross-chain integration and ecosystem
construction.
2. NerveNetwork will support any token based on more than 40+ blockchains bridged to the Conflux via NerveBridge.
3. NerveNetwork will support all Conflux- based assets to create liquidity pairs on
NerveSwap.
4. NerveNetwork will support all Conflux- based assets to create farming pools on
NerveFarm.
5. SwapBox, a NerveNetwork ecosystem DApp, will support Conflux and all the
Conflux- based assets.
6. NerveNetwork will support all Conflux - based assets to mint other assets on
NerveMint.
7. ParaBox and PayBox will support all Conflux - based assets.
8. Cross-Marketing Campaign & Social Media Support.(NerveNetwork & Nabox Wallet).
Benefit to the Conflux Ecosystem:
NerveNetwork is an asset relay network connecting multiple blockchains,a gas-free blockchain.It was born in 2019, and its mainnet was launched in 2020. It has been operating in a steady state for more than 5 years.
We have a full suite of NerveNetwork ecosystem products.
1.NerveBridge – Bridging tokens on the 40+ blockchains to Conflux,expanding new territory for your project.
2.NerveSwap – Charge-free Token listing. A DEX with absolutely no transaction fees and fast confirmation.
3.NerveFarm – Creating Stake/Farm Pools for Conflux ecosystem projects on NerveSwap.
4.SwapBox- aggregates mainstream DEXs, it includes Cross-chain Swap Pool, Layer1/Layer2 Farm.SwapBox Pools consists of stablecoins and other assets across various chains on NerveNetwork.
Users can use any other blockchain Assets to exchange $CFX across chains,which is beneficial for other network users to enter Conflux blockchain. For example: Use BTC/ETH/BNB/KAVA/ETC/TRX/EOS/CELO/REI/BRISE/FCH/NULS/NVT/USDT/USDC to directly exchange $CFX and other assets on SwapBox.
5. NerveMint – An asset issuing & distributing platform for BRC20/ Ethereum/similar EVM networks.
6. PayBox – Payment system built on the bottom layer of NerveNetwork.
7. ParaBox – Airdorp/Gift cards DApps buit on NerveNetwork.
NerveNetwork provides two cross-chain solutions for not building a pool and building a pool.
1.Not building a pool
For independent public chains such as ETC, Ethereum and BNB chain, Nerve defines a set of interface protocols, which can facilitate the interaction of different blockchains. The cross-chain interface protocol includes the following aspects:
- address mapping
- creating multi-signature addresses/creating smart contracts
- transaction verification
- transaction assembly
- transaction broadcast
- signature verification
- additional signature
The architecture of cross-chain interaction protocol is designed as follows:
Every time a blockchain is docked, it needs to implement a set of interface protocol components for data interaction between the two chains.
A certain number of virtual banks are selected from the consensus nodes to create and manage multi-signature addresses (smart contracts). Virtual banks are responsible for the verification of assets transfer in and execution of asset transfer out.
2.Building a pool.
It includes AMM Swap and Stable Swap two protocols.
Therefore, NerveNetwork’s cross-chain solution is suitable for the needs of different ecological projects.

Technical Introduction
1.Functional Goals and Development Reasons:
NerveNetwork is an asset relay network connecting multiple blockchains.
NerveNetwork aims to connect all isolated blockchains and establish a cross-chain asset exchange network, providing all necessary underlying support for DeFi ecosystem.Let every digital asset holder experiences a truly secure, free and transparent DeFi application service.
NerveNetwork currently supports 40+ blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum,zkSync,Optimism, Tron, Base, Linea, ETC, EOS, Metis, Celo ,Merlin, Blast, Mode, Manta,Avalanche,Kava, REI, NULS, etc.
2.Problem Statement Reference:
Currently, the Conflux eSpace ecosystem already has some cross-chain infrastructure in place. However, for the long-term development of the ecosystem, it is beneficial to adopt one or two additional secure and mature interoperability solutions. This would enable broader connectivity with major L1 and L2 blockchain networks such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, and Tron.
Such expansion would significantly enhance Conflux’s DeFi scalability, total value locked (TVL) growth, and composability.
NerveNetwork has already successfully integrated with over 40 blockchains through its modular relay protocol and cross-chain bridge architecture. This integration addresses the interoperability bottleneck faced by Conflux and aligns with its long-term vision of becoming a multi-chain DeFi and Web3 hub.
3.Feasibility Study:
NerveNetwork has deployed and maintained cross-chain infrastructure for over 5 years. With existing infrastructure like NerveBridge, SwapBox, and NerveFarm already serving other chains, adding Conflux requires only minor engineering adjustments and testing. The development will be handled by experienced NTC engineers who have executed similar integrations with Bitcoin, Ethereum, BCH,Tron, BNB Chain, EOS, ETC, NULS, TBC and others.
4.Purpose of the System:
The purpose is to build a seamless, low-barrier cross-chain entry point for users and assets from external blockchains into the Conflux ecosystem via NerveNetwork’s infrastructure. It also aims to provide CFX-based DeFi applications with access to diverse liquidity sources, increasing the composability and competitiveness of the Conflux ecosystem.
5.Scope of the System:
- Implement Bridge connection for Conflux eSpace.
- Enable asset swaps across 40+ blockchains into $CFX via SwapBox.
- Support Conflux-based token liquidity and farming pools on NerveSwap & NerveFarm.
- Enable minting, gifting, and payment applications (ParaBox, PayBox) for Conflux tokens.
- Provide ongoing technical maintenance and liquidity support using grant funds.
6.Objectives and Success Criteria:
- Complete the cross-chain integration and go live within 5–6 weeks after grant approval.
- DApps within the NerveNetwork ecosystem will integrate Conflux and become part of the delivery standard, including NerveBridge, SwapBox, NerveSwap, NerveFarm, NerveMint, PayBox and ParaBox.
- Enable users to access multi-chain liquidity for $CFX on SwapBox.
- Ensure smooth operation of asset bridging and cross-chain swaps.
