Tutorial series
Flow Actions
Learn how to build DeFi applications with the Flow Actions framework, which allows developers to create composable DeFi workflows. Flow Actions provide standardized interfaces that make it easy to combine different DeFi protocols and create sophisticated financial applications.
Scheduled Transactions
Discover how to implement scheduled transactions for time-based smart contract execution on Flow. These tutorials cover how to create automated workflows, cron-like functionality, and time-sensitive blockchain applications that can execute without manual intervention.
Passkeys
Implement device-backed passkeys with the Web Authentication API to register Flow account keys and sign transactions with secure, user-friendly authentication. For more information, see the advanced concepts documentation.
High-Precision Fixed-Point Math
Learn about Flow's high-precision mathematical utilities for DeFi applications using UInt128-based 24-decimal fixed-point arithmetic. This tutorial covers how to perform accurate financial calculations, handle rounding modes, and avoid precision loss in complex DeFi operations like liquidity pools, yield farming, and token swaps.
