Following the Flow
As for Flow, which is due to launch in 2020, it’s described as a “blockchain built from the ground up to support high performance ecosystems of apps and games without compromising decentralization”.
As well as Dapper’s own products such as the forthcoming NBA Top Shot, Animoca Brands and Ubisoft are involved with the project, although they’ve not mentioned what products they will launch.
Also interesting is the inclusion of Warner Music Group. One user case for Flow will be for “artists or bands using crypto tokens to give music lovers unprecedented new ways to show their fandom”.
