Flow is a layer one blockchain designed from the ground up for consumer apps and the digital assets that power them. The network runs on a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism with a unique "multi-role" architecture that solves the blockchain trilemma, balancing scalability, efficiency, and cost.

Flow tools include:

* Cadence, a purpose-built smart contract programming language designed for consumer-grade applications

* Full EVM equivalence, allowing anything from Ethereum to work on Flow

* Protocol-level account abstraction and mobile support for onboarding new users

* Cross-chain interoperability with the wider web3 ecosystem

* Developer hub with comprehensive documentation and tools
