Dapper LabsFlow blockchain is one of the most prominent networks in the rising NFT market. Now, a Dapper representative tells Decrypt that the Flow is “fully open and controlled by the community,” with the firm running less than one-third of the active consensus nodes that maintain the proof-of-stake network. The company claims that 68% of nodes are now operated by external Flow validators.
