ChainCatcher reported that, according to BlockchainReporter, Move Industries announced that the Movement network will transition from a sidechain architecture to an independent Layer1 blockchain. The company said this move will significantly improve performance, support native token staking, and provide support for Move 2.

As a Layer1 blockchain, Movement will be able to deliver processing capacity of over 10,000 transactions per second, with transaction confirmation times of less than one second. Compared with the current network’s 500-600 TPS upper limit, this represents a major improvement. The Layer1 blockchain design is intended to fully leverage the performance potential of the Move Virtual Machine (MoveVM), while removing the risk of single points of failure associated with the centralized sequencer under the sidechain model.

Only unlocked MOVE tokens are eligible to participate in staking. Under this rule, locked tokens held by investors or core contributors cannot be used for staking. Move Industries said this helps link staking rights to real, active holders. Movement will also be an early adopter of Move 2 language features.

Move 2 adds developer foundational capabilities such as enum types and function values, and Movement’s Layer1 blockchain will be the first to support these new features. A public testnet for developers is about to launch, and the organization plans to complete mainnet migration by the end of 2025.

In a previous May report, Movement Labs reorganized and rebranded as Move Industries, rolling out new governance and a product roadmap.
