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

About Tezos

Tezos is an open-source platform for assets and applications backed by a global community of validators, researchers, and builders.
