What is Movement (MOVE)?

Movement is an L2 solution created using MoveVM, aiming to offer developers a powerful, efficient, and scalable platform to create the next-gen dApps.

The Movement Foundation is the driving force behind the Movement ecosystem, as revealed by the official website of the project and it’s dedicated to the following targets:

• Fostering innovation
• Supporting developers
• Advancing the adoption of MoveVM technology

Movement Labs revealed the official whitepaper of the project on November 21, 2024: “Move Stack Chains: A Network of High-Throughput Fast-Finality Move-Based Rollups Secure4d by Ethereum Version 0.2.5”

Move Stack Chains

The whitepaper’s Abstract addresses the introduction of Move Stack Chains – a secure and scalable network of Move-based rollups secured by Ethereum that address the need for safer execution environments.

Move Stack, a modular framework for creating highly customizable Move Rollups, is at the core of this network.

The Movement Network revealed the best features of Move Stack as follows:

1. Move Executor: A high-throughput execution layer with MoveVM, parallel execution, and EVM compatibility
2. Fast-Finality Settlement Mechanism: This achieves confirmation in seconds, by leveraging economic security from a network of validators, maintaining Ethereum’s security
3. Modularity: Integration with multiple DA services and sequencers; developers can also opt for validity or optimistic rollup configurations to achieve the best Ethereum security

The whitepaper’s Abstract also mentions Move Arena – a complex infrastructure that integrates Move Stack Chains with the project’s services, enabling an ecosystem of next-gen interoperable rollups.

Rollups benefit from DSS – the decentralized shared sequencer network, which allows the following:

• Enabling seamless cross-rollup interoperability
• Enhancing censorship resistance
• Eliminating single points of failure

DSS is secure via the multi-staking mechanism that:

• Brings economic security across Move Stack Chains and beyond
• Minimizes the infrastructure requirements
• Maximizes the sovereignty of each Move Rollup

Yesterday, the team behind the project shared a message via X, highlighting their excitement to see how the Movement community will guide the network and bring Move’s superior security guarantees to Ethereum.
