Overview

Movement is a Layer 2 blockchain network built on Ethereum that uses the Move virtual machine (MoveVM) to execute smart contracts. It aims to leverage the security and parallel processing capabilities of the Move language for high-performance decentralized applications. The network functions as a modular execution layer, supporting both Move and EVM compatibility.

Within the DeFi Intel graph, Movement connects to 15 tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, Ethereum, USD Coin.

Frequently asked questions

What is Movement?

Movement is a Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum that employs the MoveVM to enable high-throughput, parallel smart contract execution. It is designed to bring the Move programming language’s asset-centric security model to the Ethereum ecosystem.

How does Movement differ from other Ethereum Layer 2 solutions?

Movement distinguishes itself by using the Move virtual machine instead of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), offering native parallelization and resource-oriented security. It also provides EVM compatibility through a bridging layer, allowing developers to deploy Solidity contracts alongside Move contracts.

What is the Move language used in Movement?

Move is a smart contract programming language originally developed for the Diem blockchain (formerly Libra). It prioritizes safety and flexibility through features like linear types (resource ownership), formal verification support, and static execution modeling.

What is Movement connected to?

In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Movement is linked to 15 other tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, Ethereum, USD Coin.
