About Blockchains
About Flow
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
