aelf vs Flow

aelf is primarily a multi-chain parallel computing blockchain network which was created to address several of the limitations of traditional blockchain systems, such as performance bottlenecks and data complexity. aelf's vision is to be a 'Linux Ecosystem' equivalent for a blockchain that incorporates state-of-the-art IT design principles, which in particular allows developers to customise Chains to meet their own needs.

Flow is a layer one blockchain designed from the ground up for consumer apps and the digital assets that power them. The network runs on a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism with a unique "multi-role" architecture that solves the blockchain trilemma, balancing scalability, efficiency, and cost.

FLOW ($FLOW) is the native utility token that is used for:

• Fees for processing transactions and storing data.
• Buying, selling, and trading assets on Flow
• Staking and delegating to secure the network

Flow tools include:

• Cadence, a purpose-built smart contract programming language designed for consumer-grade applications
• Full EVM equivalence, allowing anything from Ethereum to work on Flow
• Protocol-level account abstraction and mobile support for onboarding new users
• Cross-chain interoperability with the wider web3 ecosystem
• Developer hub with comprehensive documentation and tools
