Flow: Setting the Pace in the Last 7 Days

FLOW is the latest gaming token to ride the wave of a strong price rally after it climbed by 35.21% in the 7 days. The rise of the asset dwarfs its contemporaries like Enjin and Decentraland in the last week. ENJ has only risen by 6.77% in the last week while Decentraland’s MANA is up by 2.09%.

Since January, the asset has risen by over 1,000% and reached its all-time high of $46.16 in April before settling at $17.22. The reason for the impressive metrics by Flow is due to the extensive utilities that it offers the gaming industry.

Flow is a layer one blockchain for building the next generation of games and applications with user experience at its core. 

The project makes building easy for developers with its multi-role architecture, resource-oriented programming, and revolutionary onboarding. The use of Cadence, a new programming language for DApps, upgradable smart contracts and its speed sets it apart from its rivals.

Recent Developments and Future Events

Flow’s increasing adoption is a result of the technological advancements at the heart of the project. The use of human-readable security, smart user accounts, and inbuilt logging support will make for seamless usage of the ecosystem. 

In recent times, Flow has garnered high-profile partnerships with top brands like UFC, Samsung, Ubisoft, Warner Music Group, and Dr. Seuss amongst others which have undoubtedly hastened its adoption.
