Flow FLOW
Applications and digital assets.
Flow is a public blockchain for applications and digital assets. FLOW is its native coin.
What is Flow?
Flow uses proof of stake to operate its network. Applications use FLOW for transaction fees and storage requirements, while validators and delegators use it to participate in network operation. Digital assets created on Flow are separate from FLOW itself.
An asset’s value or usefulness depends on the application and its rules. Network participation and staking do not guarantee a return.
