Flow is a Layer 1 blockchain created by Dapper Labs, the team behind CryptoKitties and NBA Top Shot. The blockchain uses a unique multi-role architecture that separates the tasks of consensus, verification, execution, and collection across specialized node types, enabling high throughput without sharding. This pipelined architecture allows Flow to scale while maintaining a shared execution environment, which simplifies development of composable smart contracts. Flow uses the Cadence programming language, a resource-oriented language designed for digital asset management with built-in safety features. The platform has gained significant adoption in sports, entertainment, and consumer applications, with partnerships including the NBA, NFL, UFC, and major entertainment brands. Flow has expanded its ecosystem to include DeFi, gaming, and social applications, and introduced EVM equivalence to attract Ethereum developers.
