Movement Labs Revolutionizes Web3 Ecosystem with Standalone Layer 1 Blockchain

Movement Labs has made significant strides in recent years, transitioning from an Ethereum Layer 2 solution to its own standalone Layer 1 blockchain. This move has enabled the network to overcome technical challenges faced by Layer 2s, including limited scalability. With the new L1 infrastructure, Movement delivers a verified speed of over 10,000 Transactions Per Second (TPS), a significant improvement compared to traditional EVM chains.

The upgrade to 'Move 2.0' brings higher security, with formal verification at the compiler level reducing the likelihood of smart contract bugs. This is particularly notable in the context of Real World Asset (RWA) protocols that demand robust security. Movement Labs' ecosystem has also seen significant growth, with the total value locked (TVL) in Movement-powered dApps passing $200 million in early 2026.
