First Steps:
- Connect in with our Community (Discord, Twitter, Telegram, Galxe, and Github)
- Then dig in below to find out what we’re all about.
What Is Movement?
Movement was born from a simple yet powerful idea: making the Move programming language accessible and available across the entire modular blockchain ecosystem.
By bringing the Move Virtual Machine (MoveVM) to Ethereum through our novel MEVM (Move + EVM) Zero-Knowledge Layer 2 technology, we are creating a secure, scalable, and developer-friendly blockchain infrastructure that combines the best aspects of modular and monolithic architectures with the speed and safety of the Move language.
Movement has three key blockchain technologies:
1. Movement Network (M2)
The first parallelized Move-EVM Layer Two on Ethereum, combining Move's speed and security with EVM compatibility. The Movement network seeks to be a high-throughput DeFi hub with zero-knowledge scaling solutions.
2. M1
A speed-optimized, fully decentralized shared sequencer providing reliable uptime, optimized finality, and built-in formal verification.
3. The Move Stack
An execution layer framework to scale Ethereum rollups, enabling integrated blockchains with optimized shared sequencer interoperability and customizable blockspace for developers.
Why Is What We’re Building Important?
Movement Labs was founded to address some of the most pressing challenges in the blockchain industry, including smart contract vulnerabilities, scalability limitations, and fragmented liquidity. By leveraging the Move programming language and creating an integrated execution environment, we seek to empower developers to build high-performance, secure applications while leveraging the liquidity and network effects of the Ethereum ecosystem.
Several key elements of Movement set us apart:
- Integrated Modularity: Movement Labs pioneers the "Integrated Execution" approach, seamlessly combining modular components into a single, high-performance blockchain.
- Developer Empowerment: The Move programming language and Movement SDK enable developers to build secure, EVM-compatible smart contracts without writing Move code directly. It provides developers-friendly features, such as support for multiple programming languages and formal verification, empowers developers with increased agency and the ability to build without barriers.
- Ecosystem Synergy: Movement Labs fosters collaboration and works with leading Ethereum scaling solutions to establish a unified framework benefiting all networks. By integrating modular pieces, Movement Labs creates a simple, yet powerful, ecosystem synergy.
- Unmatched Security: Move-EVM bytecode interpreter prevents vulnerabilities like reentrancy at runtime, setting a new standard for smart contract safety.
- Scalability Unleashed: Movement's zk-rollup architecture brings massive scalability to Ethereum, targeting 30,000+ TPS while maintaining EVM compatibility.
How Can I Help Build The Movement?
Movement is a Community-first project. This is not a meme. We mean it. Community is baked deeply into our ethos. Together we are building a global network of developers, DeFi enthusiasts, researchers, NFT creators, writers, artists, memers, and web3 leaders.
Founding Story
Movement was founded with the vision of creating a more equitable and inclusive future of work. We recognized that traditional employment models often failed to provide dignified work opportunities for many individuals, particularly those from underrepresented communities. We set out to build a platform that would empower people to contribute their skills and talents in a meaningful way, while being fairly rewarded for their efforts. By leveraging the power of decentralized technology and community-driven governance, Movement aims to revolutionize the way we think about work and create a more just and sustainable economic system.
Movement Ethos
At the core of Movement's ethos is the belief that everyone deserves access to dignified work. We strive to create an inclusive community that values diversity, collaboration, and mutual support. Our platform is designed to provide equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances. We believe that by empowering people to contribute their unique skills and perspectives, we can unlock the full potential of human creativity and innovation. Movement is committed to fostering a culture of respect, transparency, and accountability, where every member is valued for their contributions and has a voice in shaping the future of the community.
Guilds
Guilds are the backbone of the Movement ecosystem. They are self-organized groups of individuals who come together around a shared purpose or expertise. Guilds provide a space for members to collaborate, learn from one another, and work on projects that align with their interests and skills. Each guild has its own unique culture, governance structure, and reward system, allowing for a diverse range of approaches to creating value.
Some examples of guilds within Movement include the Masons Guild, focused on building and maintaining the platform's technical infrastructure; the Creators Guild, dedicated to producing engaging content and media (and memes, lots of memes); and the Pathfinders Guild, responsible for fostering a welcoming and enjoyable environment for all members. By joining a guild, individuals can find a sense of belonging, purpose, and opportunities for growth and development within the Movement community.
