Initially developed by Meta, Move has become a pivotal programming language within the cryptocurrency sector, known for its flexibility and security, now supporting numerous blockchain projects on the Aptos platform.
Origin and Independence of Move
Move was originally created by Meta's Libra/Diem team to provide a secure cryptocurrency platform. After the termination of Libra, founders like Mo Shaikh and Avery Ching took the project forward as an independent open-source initiative, supported by Aptos Labs and the Aptos Foundation.
Key Features Preventing Leaks
Move was chosen for its ability to verify bytecode, protecting against resource leaks and unauthorized access. Originally developed for Meta's Diem, its safety and resource management were pivotal, making it attractive for a new ecosystem.
Real-Time Verification Implementation
MoveVM, the core of smart contract development on Move, allows code verification for bug absence even during execution, providing a safe environment for DeFi. Rushi Manche from Movement Labs highlights this minimizes the need for code audits.
Move has undergone significant transformations since its inception, currently supporting one of the fastest-growing developer communities with robust verification and security in the crypto environment.
