The Cadence smart contract programming language utilizes a powerful new concept for access control: entitlements. These work alongside capabilities, references, and interfaces to give developers unprecedented flexibility in how they define access, enforce security, and enable composability in applications.

Flow has rolled out an important upgrade that significantly enhances how NFTs can move between EVM and Cadence.

Generating randomness on-chain is notoriously hard. You need a number that’s unpredictable before it’s revealed, unbiased during its generation, and verifiable afterward. To make things even more challenging, nodes of the network have to generate and agree on random numbers in a distributed and decentralized manner. With these nearly opposing constraints, traditional random functions (like Math.random()) aren’t an option.

Flow is pushing the boundaries of blockchain efficiency and scalability.

The Flow foundation is excited to announce its latest release: a Wagmi & RainbowKit adapter for FCL that empowers developers to seamlessly integrate Cadence into existing EVM applications.

Superior Web3 apps start with reimagining UX. Flow’s EVM compatibility + Cadence enable seamless atomic transactions, reducing friction & unlocking new possibilities.

From December 1st to 31st, developers across Asia compete online to build the next killer app on Flow.

Flow has just released a breakthrough on-chain random number generator that goes live today!

Welcome to my series of blogs about common and high-profile vulnerabilities in Solidity smart contracts. In this series, I’ll explain how different vulnerabilities have been exploited in Solidity smart contracts and how choosing languages like Solidity actually sets developers up for difficulty from the beginning.

Starting this month we're hosting monthly Cadence coding competitions to help developers learn blockchain engineering using the Cadence smart contract language. Each month will focus on a new topic in Cadence and is supported by workshops and weekly drop-in sessions to help accelerate your learning! Check it out!

The Flow Foundation is delighted to reveal the winners of the Flow to the Future hackathon, a global competition where ambitious Web3 builders competed for more than $500,000 in prizes by building decentralized applications that push the boundaries of current blockchain capabilities using Cadence. 

In this post, we’ll reaffirm some of Flow’s core attributes that help to keep the network distributed, accessible, secure, and compliant so developers can remain focused on their projects.

In this post, Jacob Tucker walks you through how he implemented the BoredApeYachtClub NFT smart contract in Cadence, the smart contract language used by the Flow blockchain and popular platforms like NBA Top Shot and Ticketmaster.

The Flow to the Future hackathon is a global competition for Web3 builders to compete for more than $500,000 in prizes by pushing the boundaries of decentralized applications that leverage sophisticated on-chain logic. It kicks off on June 15 and will last for an entire month, concluding on July 15. All pioneers of the Web3 world are welcome to join in unlocking the full potential of on-chain logic to create dApps that are more sophisticated, innovative, and accessible to mainstream consumers, disrupting traditional centralized models.
