Flow Tier 1 Support

We’re excited to share that Flow is now fully integrated into the Dfns Wallet-as-a-Service platform as a Tier-1 blockchain. This means full wallet support for FLOW and all Flow native assets, including Cadence-based NFTs. Developers and institutions building on Flow can now use Dfns to access secure, programmable wallet infrastructure with the same Tier-1 experience we already deliver on 100+ networks.

What is Flow and why it stands out

Flow is a high-performance, developer-friendly blockchain built for large-scale consumer applications. Originally created by Dapper Labs, Flow is designed for mainstream adoption, supporting millions of users with low fees, fast execution, and a strong focus on usability.

Flow uses a unique multi-node architecture that splits validation into four specialized node types: Collection, Execution, Consensus, and Verification. This lets the network scale without sharding, enables predictable performance, and removes many of the bottlenecks seen in traditional single-node blockchain designs.

Flow also introduced Cadence, a resource-oriented smart contract language built for safety and clarity. Cadence treats digital assets as real resources, not integers on a contract, making asset transfers safer, reducing common token-handling bugs, and improving the security of NFT and token logic.

Key strengths of Flow include:

• Resource-oriented smart contracts: Cadence ensures assets behave like real-world objects with type safety and built-in ownership rules.
• Scalable architecture: Multi-node pipeline enables high throughput without sacrificing decentralization.
• Consumer-scale UX: Low fees, fast finality, and predictable performance make it ideal for apps with millions of users.
• Proven ecosystem: Powering some of the largest NFT and digital collectible platforms in the world.
• Upgrade-friendly contracts: Developers can deploy “beta contracts” and later finalize them once audited and battle-tested.

Dfns unlocks Tier-1 support for Flow

With Tier-1 support now live, Flow wallets on Dfns have the full feature set of our infrastructure. Developers and institutions can:

• Access complete wallet data: FLOW balances, Cadence-based assets, and NFTs are automatically detected, with full indexing of transfers and history.
• Sign securely: Generate Flow signatures using the Dfns API or dashboard, with policies, quorum approvals, and governance rules enforced automatically.
• Transfer and broadcast: Send FLOW or any Flow-native asset and broadcast transactions onchain with the same safeguards used across all Dfns wallets.
• Automate with webhooks: Get instant notifications for balances, transfers, and transaction events to power real-time workflows.

This upgrade makes it easier to build reliable, scalable Flow applications. Whether you're building wallets, NFT platforms, gaming experiences, trading apps, or consumer fintech products, Dfns provides the secure wallet layer that hides complexity and meets institutional requirements.

By bringing Flow to Tier-1, we connect its scalable architecture and resource-oriented smart contracts with enterprise-grade wallet infrastructure. Developers can now integrate Flow under the same security, compliance, and performance standards already used by 300+ organizations on Dfns.
