The onboarding process for millions of users and builders of the Flow blockchain network has been improved by partnering with Ramp Network. In addition, this partnership represents the first fiat on-ramp available to all Flow builders.
If you was in the know of crypto in 2017 you would have heard of Dapper Labs CryptoKitties. CryptoKitties is a blockchain game on Ethereum developed by Canadian studio Dapper Labs that allows players to purchase, collect, breed and sell virtual cats. It is one of the earliest attempts to deploy blockchain technology for recreation and leisure. The crazy demand for the little furry NFTs made us believe that this is it, the game that takes blockchain mainstream
The popularity of CryptoKitties showed the cracks in blockchains and Ethereum’s platform. Scalability was deemed the most important factor, followed closely by the difficulty of accessing cryptography. CryptoKitties creators, Dapper Labs, took this experience and used it to build a solution that will meet the needs of the international entertainment industry. This resulted in the steps for Dapper labs to build their own blockchain.
What’s Flow?
In their own words “Flow is a blockchain that essentially takes care of the hard problems for you so that you may focus on your applicationâ€.
Some unique things about Flow?
– Flow is ready for mainstream usage – thanks to its multi node architecture. It is one of the few solutions built to withstand scale, preserve a composable execution environment and stay decentralized.
– Flow uses resource-oriented planning. Built around Cadence, Dapper Labs’ own programming language that is easy to use and makes writing smart contracts safer and more secure.
– Flow is developer’s first. It has built-in developer tools (open-sourced too!), where developers can easily get started and progress through the funnel of building blockchain applications one step at a time, instead of having to learn a lot of theory before writing even a line of code.
And now, any developer building on Flow can easily add Ramp SDK and onramp their users to the metaverse in minutes!
- The powerful SDK
Ramp and Flow teams have been working tirelessly for the last couple of months to bring this essential feature to live. Right now, builders of Flow based apps can simply use the ramp SDK package to onboard their users directly to FUSD – Flow’s first stablecoin.
Right now you’re just one simple integration away from opening up your app to a mainstream audience, perhaps more familiar with cards than crypto. Adding Ramp is the last fiat <> crypto issue that you will have to bear with, because all the pains – AML, liquidity, chargebacks… – is covered by us. One small SDK that will connect billions of users to your Flow-based app.
