Flow<\/a> is a decentralized layer-one blockchain for games, applications and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).<\/p>\nIts blockchain builds functional improvements directly on its protocol layer, allowing users to make payments and participate in the network\u2019s governance. Its ecosystem partners include brand names such as Warner Music, the NBA and Ubisoft.<\/p>\n
Coin Bureau\u2019s pseudonymous analyst Guy tells his nearly two million YouTube subscribers that Flow\u2019s high-profile partnerships aren\u2019t entirely positive for the blockchain, however.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only problem is that Flow\u2019s alignment with established players is probably why it has next-to-no interest in partnering with crypto projects or even appealing to the crypto community. My evidence is the lack of wallet support and the apparent absence of interoperability with any other cryptocurrency. Remember that Flow has hundreds of millions of dollars in its back pocket.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nFlow\u2019s native token, FLOW, has recently been caught in price doldrums like much of the crypto market. The 61st-ranked crypto asset by market cap is trading at $5.28 at time of writing and is down more than 30% in the past month.<\/p>\n
Guy says making further inroads with the crypto community could help increase FLOW\u2019s price.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurrently, the Flow blockchain is quite centralized. And, as you no doubt know, centralization is generally a risk to a trustless network. Now having said all of that, the Dapper Labs [FLOW developer] team is aware of this, and there are moves afoot to further decentralize the network. <\/em><\/p>\nMy only hope is that more efforts are made to onboard regular crypto users through additional integrations and wallet support. These two things alone might be enough to create the demand Flow needs to offset its constant supply shock and lead to some serious gains down the line.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
