The first ever Flow FLIP Fest is here; a buildathon for developers to collaborate on an open source blockchain project. A FLIP is a Flow Improvement Proposal; a community-driven initiative to discuss and execute impactful improvements on Flow.
The Flow FLIP Fest is a two-month event that will engage and reward participants for creating innovative and effective improvements to Flow. The goal of FLIP Fest is to empower developers to build solutions on Flow that will have a lasting impact on the developer community and broader consumer audience by extension.
There are many areas to contribute, including: Non-custodial wallets, SDKs, learning tools, and more critical areas where participants will propose their solutions to specified needs. This also includes feature requests from businesses already developing on Flow.

GigLabsâ API-driven NFT Bridge platform is the backbone of their products. GigLabsâ diverse group of partners required a solution thatâs not one size fits all, so they built NFT Bridge to accommodate those needs. Unlike the large user-driven third party marketplaces, NFT Bridge enables brands to customize their NFT experiences.
This solution requires no blockchain experience to launch and operate a new NFT platform, but GigLabs still offers developer tools and APIs for deep integrations for teams that want to dig into the development themselves.
GigLabs is building applications that help support the flourishing NFT ecosystem and its users, and we canât wait to see what else they have up their sleeves!
