In the constantly changing world of crypto infra and DeFi, Adam and I find ourselves at the heart of innovation and progress through the Move ecosystem. My journey with Movement Labs has been about making significant contributions to the Move infrastructure stack, while Adam has been pioneering in DeFi innovation at Thala, leveraging Move technology. Though our paths have been distinct, we’re united in a common mission: to revolutionize blockchain technology and DeFi by enhancing security, scalability, and overhauling user experience.

The last few weeks in the world of smart contracts have been definitely interesting. From spectacular proposals for SVM integrations to the Vyper exploitation crippling Curve and almost annihilating our DeFi ecosystem, the narrative is pretty clear for what the next wave of smart contract needs are: a natively secure and high-throughput virtual machine powered by a cutting-edge programming language. For years, reentrancy has been the most notable attack vector in crypto, especially for the large DeFi hacks.
