🛠️ Flow Workshop
Learn how to leverage EVM on Flow and build the next killer app or web3 sports app.
This workshop is happening in-person
05:30 PM PDT — Friday, Oct 18, 2024 in Workshop Room 4
About
Flow is a layer one blockchain with a powerful smart contract language (Cadence) and full EVM equivalence (any Solidity, smart contract, or protocol that works on Ethereum or an EVM L2 works on Flow). The network was designed from the ground up to enable consumer crypto applications that scale to mainstream audiences and seamlessly connect to digital ecosystems. 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.
Flow has been architected with a clear vision for the future of consumer crypto, and meticulously designed to address the shortcomings of earlier blockchains to ensure scalability, usability, and efficiency are not simply an afterthought. By incorporating critical protocol-level primitives, such as account abstraction and on-chain randomness, as well a powerful transaction model and scalability without sharding, Flow sets itself apart as a blockchain made for those interested in building apps for widespread adoption and developer-friendly innovation. With over 45-million consumer accounts connected to experiences from the NBA, NFL, and Disney, the next killer app is being built on Flow.

Killer apps have the power to create and lead entire industries by addressing a pain point at the perfect moment. As an L1 blockchain designed for mass adoption and consumer-grade products, we believe the next breakthrough will emerge in the form of a Consumer App.
Consumer Apps are consumer products that solve real-world problems by placing the end-user at the heart of the experience. Unlike traditional DeFi or “x-to-earn” products that can feel distant to the average consumer, Flow seeks applications that are accessible, intuitive, and valuable to millions (or billions!). Think ChatGPT for artificial intelligence (AI), and how it made AI approachable and useful for hundreds of millions, enabling even non-experts to create custom AI tools.

🏀 Best Sports App on Flow ⸺ $8,000
Up to 4 teams will receive $2,000
The global sports industry is expected to exceed $623 billion by 2026, driven by data, analytics, media, and technology. The Flow blockchain is central to this transformation, powering leading Web3 sports platforms like NBA Top Shot (with over $2 billion transacted), NFL ALL DAY, and other major sports collectibles. Flow is changing fan interactions by enabling immersive experiences, data-driven engagement, and new revenue models. With Flow, you can build the next generation of sports apps, and connect with engaged communities across the ecosystem.
Web3 Sports Use Cases:
- Player-Owned Data: Athletes control their stats and biometric data, selling or licensing it directly to companies, media, or fans.
- Tokenized Fan Engagement: Fans earn tokens for attending games, watching streams, and interacting, redeemable for exclusive items.
- Decentralized AI Fantasy Leagues: Onchain fantasy sports ensuring transparency, with AI simulating match outcomes.
- OnChain Sports Predictions: Transparent, fraud-resistant prediction markets powered by smart contracts.
- Play-to-Earn Sports Games: Digital games offering tokens as rewards for winning, blending play with financial incentives.
- Composability: Integrate features like training Top Shot NFTs, unlocking new stats, or peer-to-peer competitions.
- Real World Asset Tokenization: Tokenize assets like stadiums, equipment, or team shares, allowing fractional ownership."
