What is Flow (FLOW)

1. Project Introduction
Flow is a fast, decentralized, and developer-friendly blockchain created by Dapper Labs in 2020—the same team behind CryptoKitties, which congested the Ethereum network in 2017. Flow was purpose-built for games and digital assets and features a unique multi-role architecture that enables scalability without sharding.
Summary: A proof-of-stake blockchain designed to power consumer-scale decentralized applications, NFTs, DeFi, DAOs, PFP projects, and more. Powered by Cadence, a custom smart contract language tailored for digital assets, Flow enables developers to innovate and push the boundaries of Web3, aiming to onboard the next billion users.
