Flow Network is a Web 3 underlying platform launched by the Dapper Labs team that created the CryptoKitties game. It aims to bring billions of mainstream users from Web 2 into the Web 3 world in a non-perceptual and frictionless way. ; and provide users with a great, rich experience in the digital world. Its purpose is to power a new generation of games and entertainment applications. It is a fast, decentralized, developer-friendly and user-friendly blockchain.
If you use two keywords to make you want to know more about Flow, they are NFT and Metaverse.
The first keyword NFT: In 2017, the Dapper Labs team launched CryptoKitties, the first digital collectible game in history to enter the mainstream. Its impact on NFT can be seen in every subsequent NFT project. To the shadow of Crypto Kitties. From a technical perspective, the digital commodity framework (ERC-721) introduced by CryptoKitties is still the gold standard for NFTs and was initiated and written by Dapper Labs CTO Dieter Shirley.
Therefore, Flow has natural advantages in the development of NFT, chain games, etc., and is emerging in DeFi and DAO. Just like the prosperity and popularity of DeFi on ETH. But compared to DeFi, which requires the understanding of centralized t-financial concepts to create a certain concept, NFT is an excellent carrier for the digital economy.
At the same time, Flow attracts mainstream traffic by cooperating with big brands and IPs in the real world (such as NBA Top Shot, the first mainstream consumer blockchain application in history, 80% of its user base are users who have never used blockchain). It has brought more heat, growth and opportunities to the ecology on the chain. With such an innovative team and industry pioneers, Flow has accumulated nearly 4 million accounts and over 93 million transactions in just over a year since its launch. Therefore, for those who want to build Web 3 applications that have the potential to attract incremental users, Flow is definitely the first and best choice.
The second keyword is easier to understand. NFT is a brick and a brick of the metaverse, and it is the cornerstone of the construction of the metaverse. Flow once stated: NFT is the definition standard for non-homogeneous things in the digital world, so it is an indispensable atomic-level thing in the construction of the Metaverse. Therefore, the development of the Metaverse project on Flow has a better construction foundation and ecological background.
With innovative genes and successful experience, Flows technical methodology is a favorable factor in realizing personal ideals. The high performance of Flows underlying design is what makes it more efficient than other public chains. In fact, public chains have needs to improve efficiency and performance. Currently feasible solutions include: block expansion and limiting the number of nodes (horizontal sharding, such as ETH 2.0 and Layer 2). Limiting the number of nodes and block expansion will have a negative impact on the decentralization of the public chain. Horizontal sharding It has more advantages than Layer 2, but smart contracts will be more complex and it will be difficult to call data, which will raise the technical threshold for DApp development on the chain. However, the highly scalable multi-node pipeline architecture proposed by Flow separates consensus and calculation, taking into account security, efficiency and developer friendliness, making scalability very easy.
For the first time, Flow allows nodes to specialize based on their respective capabilities and ability to process transactions, so these nodes in the network are very powerful, and they play an important role as execution nodes; while other light nodes, which are not as powerful but are more numerous, This node completes the work of verification, joins the consensus algorithm, maintains the security and decentralization of the network, and carefully checks the computers blockchain network.
This simple architectural change allows for significant scalability and performance optimization. Flow can be as decentralized as networks such as Ethereum, without even resorting to sharding.
Not only has an innovative team and technology, Flow also has world-class partners, including NBA, UFC, NFL (Professional Football League), Warner Music, Universal Music, Dr. Seuss, etc., who work together to build new s application. Moreover, Flow is also cooperating with third-party partners, publicly traded game studios, such as SUMO, Ubisoft, and Animoca, etc. They will cooperate with their brands such as Bitkab, Warner and other institutions, and also introduce their resources into Flow Build the platform. The Bingdundun digital blind box, officially authorized by the International Olympic Committee, was also released on February 12 on the Flow chain trading market nWayPlay.
Therefore, starting from a team with innovative genes and successful experience, starting from efficient, safe and developer-friendly technology implementation, starting from the sustainable development and market-favored public chain ecology, individual developers or development teams choose Flow to create their own Dapp projects have more opportunities, better platforms, lower barriers to entry and a broader market.
In order to satisfy Chinese developers who want to quickly try out how to build their first Dapp on Flow, TinTinLand and the Flow public chain jointly launched the worlds first Flow DApp Development Introductory Course - From First Acquaintance with Cadence to Building Marketplace development course, which will be held in March It will be officially launched on May 5th, and only 100 students will be enrolled in each phase!
We hope that through this course, you can develop the Cadence smart contract language on the Flow public chain, become proficient in using the development tool chains commonly used in the Flow ecosystem, and master the key points of using the FCL (Flow Client Library) front-end library to develop Flow DApp. , began to create the first Dapp based on Flow.
#1 Course Outline
