Flow and OpenSea: A New Era for Onchain Consumer Apps and Digital Assets
OpenSea joins the Flow blockchain ecosystem: Unlocking New Possibilities for NFTs and Developers
Flow has solidified its position as the premier blockchain for on-chain consumer applications, earning the trust of industry-leading brands such as the NBA, NFL, Disney, and Ticketmaster. Now, with its integration into OpenSea—the world’s largest NFT marketplace—Flow is expanding its ecosystem, bringing unmatched efficiency, interoperability, and innovation to the Web3 space.
Why Is Flow Now Available on OpenSea?
This milestone is made possible by Crescendo Flow Network Upgrade, which enables full interoperability between Flow and the broader Web3 ecosystem through Flow EVM. This integration empowers developers and collectors alike, providing them with access to:
- The Most Advanced Blockchain: Flow is built with cutting-edge features that redefine transaction execution, account models, and developer tools, enabling the creation of highly sophisticated on-chain applications with reduced complexity and faster development times.
- Seamless Solidity Deployment: Any Solidity smart contract can now be deployed on Flow without code modifications, offering significant speed and cost advantages over traditional EVM-based blockchains.
- Supercharged Performance: Flow offers dramatically increased transaction speeds and lower costs compared to other EVM blockchains, making it a game-changer for NFT marketplaces and developers alike.
The Benefits of NFTs on Flow EVM
By integrating with OpenSea, Flow brings a new level of efficiency to EVM-compatible NFTs, offering:
- Ultra-low gas fees: At just $0.000179 per transaction, Flow is the most cost-effective EVM-compatible blockchain.
- Lightning-fast transactions: With a block time of just 0.8 seconds, transactions settle almost instantly.
- Gasless Transactions with Flow Wallet: Flow wallet covers gas fees for users, making transactions completely free for OpenSea users. Additional Flow advanced features empowers creators to define who pays for gas.
- Eco-Friendly Transactions: Flow is one of the most energy-efficient blockchains, using less power per NFT transaction than a single Instagram post.
The Advantages of NFTs on Flow’s Cadence
Flow’s native smart contract language, Cadence, introduces powerful new primitives for Onchain apps and digital assets creators and developers:
- Onchain storage: Unlike most blockchains that rely on external services like IPFS, Flow allows direct on-chain content storage. With a long-term vision of achieving over a petabyte of unsharded storage, Flow is pioneering fully on-chain applications that require significant state and storage.
- True digital ownership: Unlike EVM models where NFTs are mere receipts of ownership linked to off-chain storage, Flow’s NFTs exist directly within user accounts—ensuring real ownership of digital assets.
- Next-generation NFT possibilities: While early NFT projects like CryptoKitties and Bored Ape Yacht Club helped popularize the space, Flow is focused on adoption, utility, and retention. With protocol-level innovations, developers have the tools to build sophisticated on-chain logic for next-gen applications.
The Future of On-Chain Innovation Starts Here
Flow is the most advanced blockchain for onchain creators, developers, and collectors. Whether you’re deploying Solidity smart contracts or building with Cadence, Flow offers unmatched power, efficiency, ownership and unique advanced features.
By bridging Flow’s powerful infrastructure with the world’s largest NFT marketplace, this collaboration unlocks new possibilities for onchain applications, true digital ownership, and seamless interoperability across the Web3 ecosystem. As the adoption of blockchain technology continues to evolve, Flow’s commitment to scalability, user experience, and sustainability ensures that it remains at the forefront of the next generation of NFTs and decentralized applications.
