Why Movement?

The blockchain industry is evolving rapidly, and developers need an efficient, secure, and scalable environment to build the next generation of decentralized applications.

Movement was created to address key challenges faced by blockchain developers today.

Move Programming Language: Security and Efficiency

Move was designed by Meta (formerly Facebook) for the Diem blockchain and later adopted by networks like Aptos and Sui.

Movement brings Move to a modular L2 for Ethereum, making it easier for developers to build secure and scalable applications.

  • Safe Asset Ownership – Move treats assets as first-class resources, preventing unauthorized duplication.
  • Faster Execution – Move enables parallel execution, which speeds up transactions compared to traditional Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) environments.
  • Built-in Security – Move's strict type and access control features reduce the risk of smart contract vulnerabilities.

You’re getting the best of all worlds when you build on Movement.

Fast Finality & Efficient Transactions

Movement uses Fast Finality Settlement (FFS), which ensures that transactions are confirmed quickly and securely.

This is faster than traditional optimistic rollups, which require challenge periods, and less computationally expensive than ZK-rollups, which depend on complex cryptographic proofs.

  • No long waiting times for transaction finalization.
  • Lower fees compared to Ethereum L1 and other L2s.
  • Cross-chain compatibility via shared sequencing and pooled liquidity.

Web3 is finally ready to welcome and onboard the next 1 billion because Movement is here.

Cross-Chain Interoperability

Movement Network isn't just another siloed blockchain—it’s designed for seamless interaction with other ecosystems.

  • Supports EVM (Solidity-based smart contracts) alongside Move.
  • Enables atomic cross-chain transactions, reducing friction between different blockchains.
  • Shared Sequencer allows multiple chains to benefit from fair, decentralized transaction ordering.

Movement is one of the few networks with native interoperability as an offering.

Scalable Infrastructure with Modular Design

Instead of handling everything on a single blockchain, Movement breaks tasks into specialized layers:

  • Data Availability (DA): External solutions like Celestia, EigenDA, or Avail are used to store transaction data efficiently.
  • Execution Layer: Handles MoveVM and EVM execution, ensuring compatibility for developers from both ecosystems.
  • Settlement Layer: A fast and secure finality mechanism ensures transactions are locked in without delays.

This modular approach improves scalability and reduces costs while maintaining high security.
