Flow for DeFi

Powering DeFi Apps & Services

Scalable, Secure, Economic, User-Friendly

Why Build on Flow

Scalability

Flow’s multi-role architecture is designed to scale with fast transaction finality. Flow can architecturally support up to 1 million TPS and petabytes of user data.

Safety & Security

The built-in security at Flow protocol level. The built-in ownership and resource-oriented model of Cadence make smart contracts safe and secure.

Easy User Onboarding

Flow’s Walletless Onboarding + Hybrid Custody solution simplifies user onboarding.

Complex On-Chain Logic Support

Flow is architecturally designed to scale with on-chain logic complexity and economical to execute complex transactions, such as arbitrage between DEXes, liquidation of a debt position, etc.

Composability

Cadence interface support allows high-level logic to work with a mixture of objects. Scripts & transactions can separate out integration glue from on-chain components; contracts can invoke one another.

Flow Ecosystem

The fast growing Flow ecosystem provides a large user base (20M+ user accounts) & a dedicated community of developers that can inspire and support each other.

Increment Finance is a leading DeFi platform on Flow, allowing users to trade / swap, lend / borrow tokens, join in liquid staking, and customize more liquidity and yield strategies all in one place.

"Flow’s scalability and low costs are another important reason, having >350M+ transactions processed already, Flow’s multi-role node architecture makes it scalable as demand grows. The execution cost is also negligible - a fraction of 1 cent - even cheaper than Solana, making it super economical to execute complex transactions in quick finality, such as arbitrage between DEXes, liquidation of a debt position, and so on."

"The builtin ownership and resource model make writing Cadence contracts safe and secure, eliminating potential smart contract issues such as the notorious reentrancy bug as much as possible."

Flowty is a platform on the Flow blockchain that allows users to buy, sell, borrow, lend, and rent their NFTs. Flowty is simultaneously a traditional marketplace and a decentralized and NFT finance (DeFi and NFTFi) toolbox.

"Flowty leverages unique aspects of Flow. Our loans can hold the NFT used as collateral because of Flow’s resource-oriented model. Flow’s built-in security features ensure that our offerings can be trustless."

‍

"Flow was built with a focus on composability and allows us to treat all NFTs the same, regardless of which collection an NFT comes from or what platform a user wants to use for a transaction."

‍

"We are excited to be one of the leading platforms on Flow and will continue to do everything we can to improve the experience on Flow for all ecosystem stakeholders, from collectors to traders to creators."
