Flow is a decentralized, developer-friendly blockchain, which is designed as the foundation for a new wave of apps, games, and the digital assets that power them.

The blockchain is fast, unique with a multi-role architecture designed to scale without sharding, which allows massive speed improvements.

Flow also encourages developers to create thriving crypto and crypto-enabled enterprises. Applications built on Flow can keep consumers in control of their data, develop new types of digital assets that can be traded on open marketplaces from anywhere across the globe, as well as create open economies that are owned by the users that help make them valuable.

Flow’s engagement in the NFT space looks to be growing each day and with a very rich ecosystem including global power brands such as Warner Music Group, NBA, and UFC, it’s potential for mainstream adoption looks to be very high.
