Welcome to the Flow Developer Docs

Your resource for everything you'll need to build the future on Flow


‍Flow is a fast, decentralized, and developer-friendly blockchain, designed as the foundation for a new generation of games, apps, and the digital assets that power them. It is based on a unique, multi-role architecture, and designed to scale without sharding, allowing for massive improvements in speed and throughput while preserving a developer-friendly, ACID-compliant environment.

Get Started

⚡️Preview our new Flow Developer Portal ⚡️

  • With the growing number of developers, tools, and content in the Flow ecosystem, we are creating a new experience to help developers not only find and discover what they need, but also have new ways to connect and contribute with the community.
    We are launching the full experience in July 2022 but you can preview the new design, layout and content here:

  • 🆕 Kitty Items

    The Kitty Items application is a full-featured NFT marketplace that demonstrates what a full-stack application can look like on Flow. It's designed to showcase the power of Cadence and Flow's client libraries.

  • Flow Core Contracts

    The smart contracts that define the core functionality of the Flow protocol.

  • Wallet API Demonstration App

    A demonstration (written in TypeScript) of a RESTful API that implements a simple custodial wallet service for the Flow blockchain.

🛠 Developer Tools

  • Flow CLI

    The Flow CLI includes several commands to interact with Flow networks, such as querying account information, or sending transactions. It also includes the Flow Emulator.

  • Flow Emulator

    The Flow Emulator is a lightweight tool that emulates the behaviour of the real Flow network. The emulator exposes a gRPC server that implements the Flow Access API, which is designed to have near feature parity with the real network API.

  • VSCode Flow

    An extension for VSCode editor that integrates Cadence, the resource-oriented smart contract programming language of Flow, into Visual Studio Code. It provides features like syntax highlighting, type checking, code completion, etc.

  • FCL Developer Wallet

    An application that emulates Flow compatible wallets for use during local development. Click to view the project Github repository, or go to the Kitty Items project for instructions on how to use it while building your project.
