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.

Metrika has unveiled the latest addition to its suite of tools for the Flow Network: the Network Overview dashboard. This dashboard is designed to provide transparency and valuable insights into the health and performance of the network. It is the first public facing dashboard providing real-time insights of key metrics of the Flow network.

We’re thrilled to introduce the Flow Incubation Program, which will provide the support standout teams on Flow need to successfully navigate the journey to becoming sustainable businesses. An inaugural cohort will kick off a pilot of the program – which will take the place of the hackathon launchpad phase – with teams selected from the recent Flow Hackathon. 

Join guest author Brian Astrove in exploring account abstraction within the context of onboarding mainstream users to Web3.

Flow introduces consumers to Web3 through Walletless Onboarding and Account Linking to provide a familiar, accessible experience for users as they engage with apps and the broader ecosystem.

Developers on Flow can create a hybrid of app custody and self custody that provides the full benefits of both, removing friction from the user experience and paving the way for the mainstream adoption of Web3.

The Flow SDK is built within Unity from the perspective of a games developer with links, tutorials, and clear examples to streamline leveraging the power of Flow in a more complete way. Traditionally understood game concepts such as Leader boards, matchmaking, and transparent arbitration systems for high latency game logic all can all be implemented on Flow, with both game side code and the smart contracts to power them.

One of Flow's defining features is its take on the Account Model, which redefines ownership and access.

Cadence is a smart contract programming language specifically designed for managing ownership of digital assets of value, like art, collectibles or cryptocurrencies. In Cadence, digital assets are first-class citizens, making their accidental loss or malicious duplication impossible while providing fine-grained and human-readable access control. It’s a language that is faster to learn, easier to audit, and more productive.

The Flow Client Library (FCL) empowers developers to build blockchain-enabled applications faster than ever, revolutionizing the interaction between frontends, smart contracts and wallets — it’s a new tool for a new generation of builders. Now that FUSD is live on Flow mainnet, FCL is officially the recommended way to build on Flow.

Senior smart contract engineer Josh Hannan shares his insights and knowledge on Cadence, the resource-oriented programming language that powers Flow's blockchain technology.

In this article, we'll explore how to interact with Flow using the Ruby programming language.
