Flow Decentralization Progress
Flow is a fast, decentralized, and developer-friendly blockchain.
It was created by Dapper Labs, the team behind CryptoKitties, to solve problems they had scaling CryptoKitties on the Ethereum network.
Flow differs from other blockchains (like Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, Cardano, DOGE & more) because it was explicitly designed to support games and consumer applications on day one, with the throughput necessary to scale to millions of active users.
Many high profile IPs have built applications on top of Flow across sport and entertainment including the NBA, UFC, La Liga and NFL, as well as Warner and Universal music group.
$FLOW is the native currency (cryptocurrency) for the Flow network, the exclusive token for staking, governance, payment of transaction fees, and the principal reserve asset on the network. (Flowverse Faqs)
