What is Flow?

Flow is a fast, decentralized, and developer-friendly blockchain, designed as the foundation for a new generation of games, apps, and the digital assets that power them. Flow is the only layer-one blockchain originally created by a team that has consistently delivered great consumer blockchain experiences: CryptoKitties, Dapper Wallet, NBA Top Shot.

FLOW token

The FLOW token (“FLOW”) is the native currency for the Flow network and the keystone for a new, inclusive, and borderless digital economy. If Flow is the digital infrastructure, FLOW token is the fuel that powers the network. FLOW is the currency required for the network and all the applications on top of it to function. FLOW is designed as a payment method as well as a long-term reserve asset for the entire Flow economy. The token is used by validators, developers, and users to participate in the FLOW network and earn rewards. It is also used for fees and to participate in future protocol governance.

The Flow ecosystem

Flow is a blockchain designed from the ground up for mainstream adoption and is the only blockchain that builds usability improvements into the protocol layer. Top developers and some of the world's largest brands are already building on Flow, enabling completely new experiences with top-tier content.

Flow has a rich ecosystem comprised of top entertainment brands, development studios, and venture-backed startups. Flow ecosystem partners include global IP brands like Warner Music, Ubisoft, NBA and UFC; leading game developers, including Animoca Brands, Sumo Digital and nWay; leaders in crypto, such as Circle and Binance; as well as several noteworthy projects among the next generation of high-growth startups, including Opensea.

What makes Flow unique?

Learning from and improving upon existing solutions, Flow provides:

• Multi-role architecture: Flow’s design is one of a kind, allowing the network to scale to serve billions of users without sharding or reducing decentralization of consensus.
• Resource-oriented programming: smart contracts on Flow are written in Cadence, an easy and safe programming language for crypto assets and apps.
• Developer ergonomics: from upgradeable smart contracts to the Flow Emulator, this network is designed for those who want to build valuable products for the community.
• Consumer onboarding: Flow was designed for mainstream consumers, with payment onramps enabling a safe and low-friction path from fiat currencies to crypto.

Flow’s creators
