Movement is a blockchain built around the Move programming language, which Meta originally created and which is designed with safe handling of digital assets in mind. The project first presented itself as a network that settles to Ethereum, and reports from September 2025 describe a shift toward running as its own Layer 1 as on-chain activity slowed. Apps are written in Move rather than Solidity, so it is not a standard EVM chain.
The native token is MOVE, which is tied to network fees and the wider ecosystem. As with most chains, you will need a small amount of it to transact. Activity here is modest: DeFi TVL is about $1.3 million at the time of writing, so liquidity is limited.
The ecosystem on this page is small and in flux. MovePosition is a lending and borrowing app, but it has closed new deposits and borrows and retires its app on December 22, 2026. Meridian AMM is a small exchange positioned as a central liquidity hub, and Mosaic AMM, a DEX aggregator with limit orders and DCA, is scheduled to shut down on November 30, 2026. Nightly Wallet covers Movement alongside several other chains. Check each app's status before you deposit funds.
