Developer-Friendly

Flow's developer-friendly environment and unique resource-oriented architecture at the protocol level and at smart contract level (Cadence) make Flow the ideal platform for building NFT-based applications.

Composability

Flow's NFT standard for creators makes their NFTs automatically supported by all existing & new wallets, marketplaces. As a wallet or marketplace builder, supporting the Flow NFT standard will automatically support all existing & new NFTs.

Energy-Efficiency

Flow is architecturally designed to be one of the most energy & hardware efficient networks. Minting one NFT on Flow requires less energy than one Instagram post.

Case Studies

Release date: Jan, 2023

Website: flowty.io

Flowty is a platform on the Flow blockchain that allows users to buy, sell, borrow, lend, and rent their NFTs. Flowty is simultaneously a traditional marketplace and a decentralized and NFT finance (DeFi and NFTFi) toolbox.

"Flowty leverages unique aspects of Flow. Our loans can hold the NFT used as collateral because of Flow’s resource-oriented model. Flow’s built-in security features ensure that our offerings can be trustless."

‍

"Flow was built with a focus on composability and allows us to treat all NFTs the same, regardless of which collection an NFT comes from or what platform a user wants to use for a transaction."

‍

"We are excited to be one of the leading platforms on Flow and will continue to do everything we can to improve the experience on Flow for all ecosystem stakeholders, from collectors to traders to creators."

Evaluate is a dApp that allows users to swap Flow NFTs in live trading lobbies using a native live chat feature for negotiation. Evaluate has been designed to make it easy for users to meet other collectors and trade their favorite digital collectibles.

"Flow's architecture provides a safe, scalable, and user-friendly platform for developers to build mainstream experiences on. The success we experienced with Flow is a testament to the blockchain's capabilities and the sense of safety that can only be earned through building secure systems, and these benefits ultimately led us to exclusively develop for Flow NFT collectors."

‍

"Users feel more secure and comfortable in the Flow ecosystem, which enables them to fearlessly try new dApps and games, engage with other collectors, and interact on the blockchain in ways that they would not on other blockchains."

‍

"Using Flow libraries, the app verifies that each collector is the true owner of the NFTs being traded, creates a trade proposal with a 5 minute expiration to swap NFTs, and ensures the swap happens in 1 transaction completely peer-to-peer, Simply put, it's the easiest, safest way to swap NFTs on Flow."
