In order to further improve inter-chain interoperability, Movement Labs has announced a cooperation with Aptos, aiming to combine the technical advantages of both parties to build a bridge between the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem and the non-EVM ecosystem.
About Movement Labs
Movement Labs is building a modular blockchain network based on Move, aiming to promote the adoption and development of the Move smart contract development language. To achieve this goal, Movement Labs has received US$3.4 million in pre-seed financing last year from well-known institutions such as dao5, Varys Capital, Blizzard Fund and Borderless Capital, as well as George Lampeth (dao5 member), Calvin Liu (Eigenlayer), Smokey The Angel investors such as Bera (Berachain) and Anurag Arjun (Avail) participated in the investment.
interoperability innovation
Movement Labs’ partnership with Aptos aims to open new horizons for interoperability and functionality within the digital asset ecosystem.
At the core of this collaboration is the Movement Developer Kit (SDK) developed by Movement Labs, an innovative framework that facilitates horizontal interoperability by executing high-throughput modular Move Virtual Machines (MVMs) that will Can be seamlessly integrated into any blockchain network.
In addition, Movement SDK can also support vertical combination through its smart contract compiler Fractal, such as supporting the conversion from Solidity language to Move language. This not only enriches the versatility of blockchain applications, but also provides native re-entrancy attack protection, significantly improving security without requiring additional development costs.
The collaboration between the Aptos Foundation and Movement Labs marks an important milestone towards the era of interconnected blockchain.
By leveraging Aptos data availability (DA) capabilities, combined with Movements Move Stack and establishing an efficient routing infrastructure, this collaboration will effectively simplify the interaction between the Movement blockchain and the Aptos network.
This also means that there will be a new batch of applications that can run seamlessly between the two blockchains.
Improve ease of use and functionality
One of the other main goals of this cooperation is to expand Aptos Umbrella to bring native Aptos experience to Ethereum and other pan-EVM ecosystems, thereby enhancing interoperability and functionality. In addition, this collaboration will align Movement with Aptos through a sophisticated routing infrastructure, allowing any EVM environment to connect directly through the Movement Move Stack.
This initiative is committed to introducing the protocols, liquidity and users within the EVM ecosystem into Aptos and Movement, creating a more interoperable and accessible development environment.
Technological innovation and future prospects
The technical core of this collaboration is Aptos as a data availability solution for Rollup built on Move Stack.
This is expected to effectively channel transaction volume originating from independent blockchains into the Aptos DA network. In addition, Movement uses the Aptos Move virtual machine as its primary virtual machine environment, which also demonstrates its commitment to providing native support for Aptos Move developers in the Movement stack.
By integrating Movements EVM runtime with the Aptos protocol and Aptos Move language, this collaboration will create a secure environment that supports dynamic scheduling.
The alliance between Aptos and Movement not only promises a seamlessly integrated open Move framework under Aptos, but also heralds a future in which direct connectivity and routing through the Move Stack will become the norm.
As EVM Blockchain continues to adopt this framework, Aptos Blockchain is expected to leverage the resulting network effects to attract more new users to stimulate ecological growth and thereby consolidate its position in the global blockchain field.
