Starcoin 2.0: Expanding the Landscape for Web3 Utility
Published at September 12, 2024 By Starcoin.
From the early days of developing ideas for dApps (decentralized applications), the challenge has been extending the utility of Web3 tools to the average user.
For dApps, utility means the practical, real-world functions and benefits that users gain when interacting with an application. However, high transaction costs and slow processing times on traditional blockchains often hinder regular users from accessing these benefits directly. Additionally, the narrowly focused crypto space can make it difficult for users to transition smoothly between Web3 platforms and access a broader range of problem-solving tools.
Starcoin: Simplifying Growth For Web3 Utility
The challenges mentioned above form the basis of our latest development on Starcoin — the new Move upgrade. This upgrade supports the seamless migration of existing applications within the Move ecosystem to Starcoin 2.0.
This development implies more than just a simple migration. It drastically lowers the barriers to developing and deploying Move-based applications and achieves greater ecosystem integration. By enabling compatibility with Starcoin, our new Move upgrade allows the broader Move ecosystem to leverage advanced performance and cost-effective applications.
Key Features Driving Web3 Utility on Starcoin 2.0
