Flow is a decentralized layer-one blockchain designed as a foundation for a new generation of games and apps. It is powered by the FLOW token that serves as both a payment method and a long-term reserve asset. It is used by validators, developers and users to participate in the network and future protocol governance, pay fees and earn rewards.

The main objective of Flow is mainstream adoption; it’s the only blockchain that builds usability improvements into the protocol layer. Thanks to this, it has won recognition among top developers and some of the world’s largest brands that are already building on Flow. Its rich ecosystem includes such partners as Warner Music, NBA, Circle and Binance etc.
