👨💻 Why developers build on Flow compared to other blockchains
We often host live interviews with founders and CEOs of Flow Blockchain apps and projects.
A key question we always ask is:
Why did your project build on Flow compared to other blockchains like Solana, BSC and Polygon?
We took these responses as well as information on official project websites. Then analysed it to determine the 5 most common reasons developers decided to build on Flow.
Here they are 👇
User-friendly
Low transaction fees
Scalability
Eco-friendly
Supportive community
Projects also say Flow offers easy onboarding for non-crypto users and is developer-friendly.
Digging into specific responses, these are some highlights of what developers are saying…
Flovatar: “Gas fees are extremely low on Flow (Gas fees on Ethereum are similar to transaction charges and they can be quite expensive)”
AFL Mint: “The Flow community is unlike any other, very supportive and everyone we have spoken to has been so generous with their time and their insights”
YDYLife: “Flow has one of the easiest onboarding ramps for fiat. It’s easy to help non-crypto native users use the tech. Plus, we’re pretty bullish on Dapper!”
aiSports: “Flow is building to support the next billion users in crypto and we want to be a part of that!”
GameDay+: “We share a similar philosophy to Dapper does, which is that the explosion of Web3 will actually look closer to Web2.5 in terms of user experience than full-blown DeFi”
Evaluate: “We love building in the Flow ecosystem - and really do believe it is taking massive leaps forward in terms of interoperability and the developer experience with advancements like the Flow NFT catalog and permissionless deployment”
Increment Fi: “Our prediction of the public chain competition: Flow being one of the dual / triple winners in the endgame”

Key takeaway: Not financial advice, build your app/project on Flow 🚀

🌊 Display your FLOAT NFTs, beautifully
FLOAT NFTs are proof-of-attendance NFTs that can be distributed and claimed for attending events.
They’re like POAPs but on Flow. And we think they’re better 😉
To date, over 3.6 million FLOATs have been claimed.
More than anything else, we view FLOAT NFTs as just really cool collectibles.
A beautiful way to display them all together in one place is on the Flowverse NFT platform.
1. Connect your wallet (containing your FLOAT NFTs) to Flowverse NFT
2. Click on your profile menu, and go to your collection page
3. Filter to view all your NFTs
4. Done! You can now see all your FLOAT NFTs and other Flow NFTs together in one beautiful place.
You can also share your ‘My Collection’ page on your socials to show off all your FLOAT NFTs to the Flow community!
