Movement Labs, a Web3 startup developing an Ethereum layer-2 network, is poised to close a funding round to raise $100 million.

Funding Phases and Company Valuation

According to a Jan. 8 report by Fortune, the current funding round could value Movement Labs at approximately $3 billion, marking it as the latest blockchain developer to achieve "unicorn" status, with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. In 2024, Movement raised $38 million with Polychain Capital.

Mainnet Launch and MOVE Token

In December, Movement completed its mainnet launch and distributed its native token, MOVE. The initial phase focuses on onboarding infrastructure providers such as nodes and indexers before expanding to general users.

We aim to differentiate ourselves with a new mechanism for quickly settling transactions directly on L2s.Rushi Manche, co-founder of Movement

New Postconfirmation Mechanism

The fast finality postconfirmation mechanism is an alternative to existing methods for settling Ethereum L2 transactions, like zero-knowledge proofs and fraud proofs, potentially cutting confirmation times to less than 1 second. Applications building on Movement's L2 can route transactions to a network of validators secured by the MOVE token.

Movement Labs continues to innovate solutions for Ethereum, seeking to simplify and expedite transaction processes on its platform.
