Movement is finally becoming L1, a chain belonging to the community ⚡️ Sub-second confirmations, a validator network, native $MOVE staking, Move 2 support — everything is about to arrive. Why do this? Movement was initially a subnet of Avalanche, later transforming into an Ethereum L2, planning to use Tendermint consensus, Celestia for DA, along with MoveVM execution. Although the goals are grand, this "modular architecture" is not suitable for us. We must admit: Movement has never missed an opportunity to chase trends. But there is a fine line between strategic transformation and frequent shifts, and we once slid towards the latter. Constantly chasing narratives is equivalent to having no narrative of your own. After seriously researching developers and the community, we realized that the original framework could not support our goals. We are no longer chasing "narrative alignment" but are fully committed to the best Move developer and user experience. The Monza upgrade is a...

Although an ambitious goal, the Frankenstein thesis just didn’t make sense for us. The elephant in the room is that Movement never missed an opportunity to ride a meta. However, there is a fine line between strategic pivoting and constant redirection…and we strayed towards the latter. Constantly chasing narratives is just admission that you don’t have your own. When we diligently surveyed our builders and community, we realized that the original architecture/framework was not tenable for what we have set out to accomplish. We are no longer chasing “alignment”, we are pursuing the optimal Move builder and user experience. The Monza network upgrade was a huge milestone and...
