Introduction to Move Language and Its Applications in Blockchain

Move is a programming language based on Rust, specifically designed for Blockchain applications. It aims to address the limitations of existing smart contract languages, providing scarcity, determinism, and verifiability. The features of Move include platform independence, with an emphasis on security and efficiency.

The Main Advantages of Move Language

1. Resource-oriented programming model
2. Built-in Security Features
3. Avoid common Web3 issues (such as reentrancy vulnerabilities, toxic tokens)
4. Digital assets as non-reproducible or non-destructible resources

Object-Oriented and Asset-Based Programming

Move adopts an object-oriented and asset-based programming approach. In certain implementations, objects are central, allowing for fine-grained access control. The global storage structure maps object IDs to objects, supporting efficient transaction processing and precise access representation.

Move Prover Formal Verification Tool

Move Prover is a verification tool that helps developers write formal specifications for the key functionalities of applications and quickly check the correctness of code execution. It is essential for preventing common smart contract errors, allowing for the establishment of preconditions, postconditions, and data invariants.

Governance and Community

The development of Move now involves a diverse team from various institutions, including academia and the security community. The language design principles focus on simplicity and cross-platform applicability, ensuring it is user-friendly for both experienced smart contract developers and Web2 newcomers.

Early Development of the Move Ecosystem

Sui

Sui is a decentralized proof-of-stake Blockchain with high throughput and horizontally scalable storage capacity. It is expected to handle over 120,000 TPS, quickly processing independent transactions and more complex shared object transactions.

Aptos

Aptos is a Layer 1 Blockchain that aims to create universal and fair decentralized asset access for billions of people. It can achieve a throughput of up to 10,000 TPS, with a theoretical maximum throughput of 160,000 TPS.

Innovation of Movement Labs

Movement Labs is dedicated to integrating Blockchain networks, supporting the fastest and safest Layer 2 solutions on Ethereum. Their goal is to introduce MoveVM to Ethereum, combining smart contract security and parallelization with the liquidity and user base of the EVM.

Solve security issues

Movement Labs is building a modular Blockchain ecosystem based on Move, starting with M2 (the first MoveVM Layer 2 on Ethereum). They have introduced a new execution environment designed for over 30,000 transactions per second.

Modular Integration

Movement Labs adopts a modular integration approach, breaking down the blockchain stack into components with clear interfaces, enabling seamless integration, customization, and upgrades.

Compatibility of Move and Solidity

Movement has designed a Solidity translator that allows smart contracts written in Solidity to adopt object-oriented programming principles on Movement.

Future Development

In the short term, developers can expect to deploy the first Move smart contract on the Ethereum testnet. The long-term goal is to achieve a complete Rollup launch on the mainnet, bringing the advantages of Move to the entire Ethereum ecosystem.

Movement Labs places great importance on the development of the Asia-Pacific region, and will continue to support Asian Move developers by providing the necessary resources, education, and opportunities to promote the growth of the Move ecosystem.
