Hello everyone!

We're back with a fresh announcement we've been waiting to share! Flow is thrilled to collaborate with AppWorks Accelerator in launching their 23rd accelerator program!

With over $200M in investible fund, AppWorks is one of the leading VC firms in the Greater Southeast Asia region, and their proven track record of success includes five IPOs among their portfolio companies (Uber, 91APP, NetPublishing, KuoBrothers and MobiX).

This accelerator program is equity-free, meaning you won't have to give up any equity in your startup in order to participate if selected.

Overall, we believe AppWorks' roster of 80 mentors and extensive network of over 1,300 founders and 395 startups will be an incredible resource for the entire community. This accelerator program will combine AppWorks' incredible resources and experience with mentorship support from the Flow team, and we can't wait to see what comes out of AW#23!

Hello Everyone, we're very excited to announce the official launch of the FUSD stablecoin on Flow today, issued by Prime Trust, a fully regulated, US based financial institution.

💸 1:1 USD-backed with global access
💳 Ease of credit card payment options
🧰 Simple dApp integration via Flow Client Library (FCL)

Providing solutions for developers in our ecosystem to ease the friction of consumer onboarding has always been front of mind. One of the biggest pain points both our own team and those building on Flow identified is the lack of easy-to-use fiat onramps for the general consumer audience.

With the 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin accessible globally, FUSD will allow developers to leverage the ease and familiarity of fiat transactions, empowering teams to offer smoother user experience that mainstream consumers are familiar with and expect from modern apps.

We believe FUSD will be a significant tool for the entire Flow ecosystem, and we look forward to seeing development teams make great use of this new feature.

Ben Mauro's back with some brand new art coming to Flow, exclusively on the Versus auction platform! :ocean::art:

Mark your calendars for an AMA with both Versus and Ben Mauro, June 30th, 9AM PT | 12PM ET

Ben is the creative genius behind the incredible Evolution NFT's featured on VIV3, and has an upcoming graphic novel series, titled Huxley. He also spent over a decade working on massive franchises like Halo, COD, The Hobbit, and more.

This drop will include a series of NFT's never sold before, and you have the chance to secure a super exclusive 1/1 edition! :fire:

A unique drop deserves a unique platform. That's one of the reasons why he's decided to make this drop happen on Versus, an auction design unlike any other: the collectors bidding decide if the NFT will be 1/1 vs. multi-editions. All on-chain and non-custodial.

Submit you questions for Ben and Versus here: https://buildwithflow.typeform.com/to/rYlTYo8n
