Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when developing Conflux smart contracts and you want an IDE with project templates plus documented node, network and key-management tools. Choose the desktop edition when using its local node and compilation setup; the README describes the Web edition as opening without dependency installation.

Who it is for

  • Developers building smart contracts for Conflux.
  • Developers who want a project editor alongside Conflux node and network tools.
  • Learners following the linked Conflux dApp tutorial.

Documented uses

  • Create a contract project from a provided template and edit its files.
  • Compile Conflux contract projects using the desktop environment’s documented dependencies.
  • Manage local Conflux node instances or connect to testnet, mainnet or a custom remote node.
  • Create or import network-associated keys and inspect address information.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project documents desktop editions for macOS, Linux and Windows, plus a browser-based edition for modern browsers. The repository lists a GPL-3.0 license.

  • Desktop setup depends on Docker, Conflux Node and Conflux Truffle; the Web edition is described as needing no dependency installation.
  • Templates include Coin, Sponsored Coin and OpenZeppelin-based contract options. The README specifically says deployment of the Truffle Metacoin template is not supported.
  • The explorer does not show historical transactions for local development nodes; the documentation describes that view for testnet and mainnet.
  • The testnet faucet provides CFX and cUSDT test tokens, which the README says have no real value.
  • The documentation warns that private keys and seed phrases should be kept private.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Prepare the Conflux Studio desktop environment

Install the desktop application and prepare its documented node and compilation dependencies.

Before you start

  • A desktop edition for macOS, Linux or Windows.
  • Docker, Conflux Node and Conflux Truffle for the desktop workflow.

Steps

  1. Download the desktop package for the operating system from the project’s GitHub Releases.

  2. Install or open the package using the documented platform-specific process.

  3. Install Docker if needed; Conflux Studio uses it to start a Conflux node and compile projects.

  4. Complete the environment preparation so the Get Started control becomes available.

Expected outcome

The desktop app reaches its main interface after the listed dependencies are installed and running.

Guide limitations

  • Linux installation steps may differ by distribution.
  • The README describes the Web edition as requiring no dependency installation; this guide covers desktop setup.
