Why Build on Flow

Scalable Performance

Flow’s multi-node architecture enables horizontal scalability without sharding, supports high-speed, quick response, fast data state update applications such as gaming.

Gas-Efficiency & Tokenomics

Low gas fees enable affordable on-chain transactions, allowing developers to build high velocity gaming experiences and thriving in-game economies.

Composability

Cadence, the smart contract language, created by Flow is designed to enable composability, allowing developers to leverage shared resources such as code or user bases as building blocks for more sophisticated on-chain gaming logic.

Walletless Onboarding & Hybrid Custody

Enables users to start playing Web3 games without creating or funding a wallet; users can enjoy flexible UX via app-custody and real ownership of assets via self-custody when ready.

Developer-Friendly

Flow offers a comprehensive set of developer tools. Flow SDK for Unity allows developers to leverage Unity’s robust native game development tools and Flow’s lightning-fast transaction speeds, endless composability, and low gas fees.

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.

Case Studies

“Joyride’s mission is to entertain mass audiences with exciting, playful, and approachable mobile game experiences. Building our games on Flow allows us to provide distinctive premium gameplay, including tournaments and special challenges, to our players, adding a new layer of excitement to the traditional free-to-play gaming construct."

“From a developer perspective, it has been seamless to integrate and has enabled us to operate efficiently at the mass scale of our target market.” 


"Low fees and fast transaction speeds were key technological draws for us in choosing Flow. I doubt that we could have achieved the sheer bulk of transaction volume on most other blockchains without incurring significant costs.”

“The account, object, and access control models of Cadence are also very nice. It is an extremely effective language for smart contract development."

“We are proud to partner with Flow in bringing casual mobile games powered by Web3 in our Casual Game Championships franchise as well as our upcoming Super Champs franchise to mainstream audiences.”

“We’re pleased we released Dimension-X on the Flow blockchain, leveraging its features for a successful launch and its user base”



”DMX utilizes a staking mechanic to ensure that NFTs that are in play cannot be traded and that their metadata is synced to Gaia before going to the store, since NFTs can level up during play. This staking mechanic requires a transaction to be signed by the player and we have never once had a player question the wallet transaction as being safe thanks to the trust users place on Flow.”
