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
