  • 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
