The Move programming language has been widely adopted in the blockchain industry due to its innovative security design. Today, multiple Move public chains exist, including Aptos, Sui, Starcoin, and emerging chains like Movement. These chains support a rich variety of ecological applications such as DeFi, GameFi, wallets, and cross-chain bridges. Although the Move ecosystem is maturing, barriers to interaction and compatibility between public chains still hinder seamless migration of ecological applications.

The Importance of Move Ecological Compatibility

EVM has become the largest blockchain ecosystem not only due to its long development history and robust infrastructure but also because of its compatibility. Public chains compatible with EVM—like Avalanche, Polygon, Fantom, and various Layer2 solutions—allow easy migration and execution of DApps and smart contracts from the Ethereum ecosystem, greatly enhancing interoperability. This compatibility improves development efficiency and provides users with more choices.

Similarly, achieving compatibility in the Move ecosystem offers several benefits:

1. Developer-Friendly: Move-compatible blockchains enable developers to deploy existing smart contracts across multiple platforms without rewriting code, saving time and effort.
2. Ecosystem Interoperability: Similar smart contract logic across chains allows users to experience consistent functions and services, reducing user experience fragmentation.
3. Multi-Chain Expansion Opportunities: Projects can deploy on multiple compatible chains if a single public chain faces scalability issues, attracting more users and liquidity.

Starcoin 2.0: Application Compatibility Public Chain

Starcoin has achieved compatibility with multiple Move public chains through its Move compatibility upgrades. This enables applications and smart contracts to be migrated between other Move networks and Starcoin with minimal adjustments, making Starcoin the first truly compatible public chain within the Move ecosystem. This compatibility provides several advantages:

• Smart Contract Portability: Contracts developed on supported Move public chains can be migrated to Starcoin with only minor modifications.
• Reduced Learning Costs: Developers can use familiar development components and resource libraries from their target public chain without needing to relearn new programming paradigms.
• Increased Network Effect: By fostering compatibility among public chains, ecological applications can share users, accelerating project growth.

Additionally, during the trial phase, the Starcoin 2.0 main network achieved a peak TPS of 130K, offering strong performance support for migrated applications. Its unique Easy Gas mechanism further supports other ecological tokens on the network as gas, providing great convenience for users.

Summary

Starcoin’s approach to compatibility delivers ecological interoperability, robust development tools, and high-performance support for Move ecological applications. This enables Move-based dApps to play a critical role in platform expansion and user growth, paving the way for broader adoption and a more integrated Move ecosystem.
