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.

Frequently asked questions
What is Movement?
Movement is a blockchain built around the Move smart contract language, which Meta originally developed and which is known for its focus on safety. It began as a network tied to Ethereum and, according to reports from September 2025, has moved toward operating as a Layer 1.
Is Movement EVM compatible?
Movement's main programming environment is Move rather than Solidity, so it is not an EVM chain in the usual sense. Apps are written for the Move virtual machine. Some multichain wallets, such as Nightly Wallet, support both Movement and EVM networks.
What is the MOVE token used for?
MOVE is Movement's native token. It is the asset tied to network fees and the ecosystem. Check the current fee details in your wallet before you send a transaction.
How much value is locked in Movement DeFi?
At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Movement is about $1.3 million, which is small. The largest listed protocol on this page is MovePosition, with roughly $730,000. Liquidity is thin, so expect larger price impact and fewer choices than on bigger chains.
Are any Movement dApps shutting down?
Two of the apps listed here are winding down. MovePosition has closed new deposits and borrows and retires its app on December 22, 2026. Mosaic AMM is set to shut down on November 30, 2026. Withdraw any funds well before those dates.
Which wallet can I use with Movement?
Nightly Wallet is a noncustodial wallet for mobile and browser that supports Movement along with Solana, NEAR, Aptos, Sui, IOTA and EVM networks. Because it is noncustodial, you control your own keys and recovery phrase. Keep that phrase offline and never share it.
