Trac Network vs Flow

Trac Network — unlike traditional blockchains — does not utilize blocks to process transactions. Instead it operates in favor of a constant stream of transactions that are peer-to-peer-validated and settled on decentralized ledgers. The topology of Trac Network allows for near-instant transaction settlement and a better user-experience. Trac Network uses DAGs as well as distributed clocks to maintain linearized and causal order of network messages.

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
