Flow is a new blockchain built for the next generation of apps, games, and the digital assets that power them.
Flow, the blockchain for open worlds
â€Flow is a fast, decentralized, and developer-friendly blockchain, designed as the foundation for a new generation of games, apps, and the digital assets that power them. It is based on a unique, multi-role architecture, and designed to scale without sharding, allowing for massive improvements in speed and throughput while preserving a developer-friendly, ACID-compliant environment.
Conceived by the team behind CryptoKitties, Flow was developed and stress-tested with top global partners and is now open for anyone to contribute to and benefit from.
Flow has the backing of some major branding from across the globe. One of the most popular is NBA top shots, UFC and much more.
“Blockchain is going to fundamentally alter the financial industry and have a major impact on consumers. Flow can create the vehicle for consumers to enter the space through products like NBA Top Shot where they have fun, but at the same time create a new self-sovereignty.â€
Spencer Dinwiddie, NBA Brooklyn Nets
