The Move programming language has been widely adopted by the blockchain industry due to its many innovative features in security design. Currently, there are Aptos, Sui, Starcoin and other Move public chains, as well as some emerging public chains such as Movement. The development of ecological applications is relatively sound, including DeFi, GameFi, wallets, cross-chain bridges, etc. The entire Move ecosystem is becoming more and more perfect, but there are still barriers to interaction and compatibility between public chains. Ecological applications cannot be migrated between public chains, which also hinders the development of the Move ecosystem.

The importance of Move ecological compatibility

EVM is the largest ecosystem in the blockchain industry, not only because of its long development time and perfect infrastructure, but more importantly, its compatibility. Currently, public chains compatible with EVM include Avalanche, Polygon, Fantom, and Layer2. These public chains make it easy to migrate and run DApps and smart contracts in the Ethereum ecosystem through compatibility with EVM, thereby greatly improving interoperability. This compatibility not only helps to improve the development efficiency on the chain, but also provides users with more choices.

Similarly, for the Move ecosystem, there are many benefits to achieving compatibility with the Move ecosystem:

1. Developer-friendly: Move-compatible blockchains allow developers to easily deploy existing smart contracts between multiple platforms without having to rewrite or adapt to new languages. This means that developers can quickly replicate their DApp projects on compatible public chains, saving time and effort.

2. Interoperability of the ecosystem: Because the smart contract logic between multiple chains is similar, users can experience similar functions and services on different chains, avoiding the user experience fragmentation caused by switching blockchain platforms.

3. Opportunities for multi-chain expansion: When a public chain has scalability issues, the project can choose to deploy on multiple compatible chains, which provides a more efficient expansion path for the main network and brings more users and liquidity to the project.

Starcoin2.0: Application Compatibility Public Chain

Starcoin has achieved compatibility with multiple Move public chains through Move compatibility upgrades. Applications and smart contracts can be easily migrated between other Moves and Starcoin, making Starcoin the first compatible public chain of Move, and also providing more options for the development of Move ecological applications.

The introduction of Starcoin compatibility solution can achieve:

1. Smart contract portability: Smart contracts developed based on the supported Move public chain can be migrated to Starcoin without rewriting the code and adapting to the new language. Only simple adjustments are needed to achieve deployment on multiple platforms.

2. Reduce learning costs: Starcoin is written in Move language and accesses the development components and resource libraries of the target public chain, which makes it unnecessary for developers to relearn programming languages ​​and development paradigms, reducing the difficulty of application development.

3. Increase network effect: The entire Move ecosystem is still in its early stages. Through the compatibility development between public chains, ecological applications can share users, which helps promote the rapid development of the project.

Compared to other public chains, Starcoin has a particularly unique advantage. During the trial operation phase, the peak TPS of the Starcoin2.0 main network has reached 130K, which provides strong performance support for migrated applications. At the same time, the unique Easy Gas mechanism supports other ecological tokens on the main network as Gas, providing great convenience for users.

Summary

Starcoin’s compatibility provides ecological interoperability, development tools and performance support for Move ecological applications, which makes Move applications play an important role in platform expansion and user growth.
