Flow: Project-Specific Market Context

Market movement can look similar across tokens even when the underlying projects are very different. For Flow, start with the project-specific facts below.

Flow: origin and purpose

Flow launched in 2020, built by Dapper Labs, the studio behind CryptoKitties — one of the first NFT projects to gain mainstream attention in 2017, and one whose popularity at the time was so intense it congested the entire Ethereum network.

That experience directly motivated Dapper Labs to build Flow as a blockchain designed from the ground up for consumer-scale applications like games and NFT platforms, with a multi-role validator architecture intended to support high throughput.

Key mechanics behind FLOW

Flow also powers NBA Top Shot, a licensed NFT platform for basketball highlight collectibles that became one of the most recognized NFT projects among mainstream sports fans.

FLOW's price is often discussed alongside major licensed NFT drops and gaming partnerships on the network.
