Recently, with the airdrop of Movement, the Move ecosystem has once again entered people's field of vision. Aptos and Sui, which are on the same track, have also been on the hot search list. Discussions about Move mainly focus on its security, development efficiency, growth potential, etc. We know that the Move language is a pearl left by Meta (formerly Facebook) in the blockchain industry. For contract development, it has a latecomer advantage and largely makes up for the shortcomings of languages ​​such as Solidity. So how to build a Move public chain?

1. What are the advantages of Move?
As a next-generation contract programming language, Move's technical potential has been greatly underestimated, especially in the field of security. Compared with programming languages ​​such as Solidity commonly used in the Ethereum ecosystem, Move highlights the two points of "security" and "high performance" in logic design.

The development of Web3 applications is entering a stage of explosive growth, with numerous application projects emerging across major tracks. Meanwhile, the public chain track is also steadily growing. According to Coingecko data, there are currently over 7,000 recorded L1 and L2 projects, including L1s focused on infrastructure and many application chains focused on business. The development of public chains is no longer limited to the infrastructure level, with more public chains aimed at application finance, gaming, and social networking already taking shape.

However, public chain development is a complex and challenging task. As the underlying public chain serves as the infrastructure of Web3, it needs to address multiple issues such as decentralization, security, and efficiency. On the application layer, public chains also face numerous problems related to smart contracts, virtual machines, data storage, and on-chain governance. This poses significant challenges to the team's development capabilities, business experience, and logical implementation. So, what methods can be employed to quickly and simply construct a blockchain?

Building a public chain is a challenging task because it involves many problems such as technology development, ecosystem construction, and market competition. Especially at the technical level, it is necessary to focus on breakthroughs in core aspects such as consensus mechanism design, system scalability, security assurance, and smart contract compatibility. In addition, the long-term stable operation of the public chain and the implementation of decentralized governance are also major obstacles that hinder the advancement of many teams.

However, with the maturity of chain issuance technology, one-click chain issuance has gradually become a reality. With the help of the existing chain issuance framework, an independent L1 blockchain can be quickly developed, and it is more flexible in terms of gas, governance, token model, access rights, consensus mechanism and scalability, and is no longer restricted by the existing framework. At the same time, for many companies that want to build applications on the blockchain, developing an L1 is a better choice than deploying smart contracts.

In the context of a recession in the traditional economy, many of my internet friends have recently consulted me about Web3, trying to find a suitable entry point. My advice is to create a public chain, as it offers more flexibility and facilitates business operations without being restricted by the bottlenecks of other public chains.

At the same time, this raises a thought for me: if a company wants to develop its own public chain, choosing existing development frameworks like Cosmos SDK, StarStack, or Substrate for development is undoubtedly the simplest and most convenient option. Alternatively, using technologies like OP Stack or Polygon CDK to create an L2 is also quite easy. However, my question is whether to choose the EVM virtual machine or Move?

In traditional public chain development, developers often face numerous challenges, such as high development and operation costs, complex frameworks and components, long development cycles, trade-offs between security and decentralization in token economics, and the complexity of on-chain governance models. To simplify this process, Starcoin has launched the first modular one-click chain launch platform in the Move ecosystem. The StarStack chain launch framework enables developers to quickly build blockchains, facilitating the acceleration of Web3 application deployment.

1. Chain Launch Framework StarStack
StarStack is the chain launch framework recently introduced by Starcoin, which provides a simplified, modular method of blockchain creation for rapid deployment. This technology is not only a development tool but also a complete framework that offers developers flexibility, speed, and security, enabling them to quickly launch blockchain networks that fully meet their needs.

Key points:
1. One-click chain launch technology is becoming mature, and various L1 and L2 chains are beginning to emerge;
2. Native contracts can no longer meet the needs of ecological applications, and large applications have begun to deploy their own application chains;
3. The chain issuance market is gradually divided into two camps: independent L1 and L2. L1 emphasizes the customization and independence of blockchain, while L2 relies more on the development of the Ethereum ecosystem.
4. Modularity has become the direction of independent blockchain construction, and speed, customization, and flexibility have become the main requirements of the market for blockchain construction;
5. Lower-cost, more efficient and customizable blockchain launch platforms will gradually replace Polkadot and other launch platforms.

Following the release of L2 Soneium by electronics giant Sony on OP, on October 29, re-staking protocol giant Swell announced its migration to the Optimism superchain and joined the OP ecosystem by building a Rollup through the OP Stack. According to DeFilama data, Swell's TVL once exceeded US$3 billion and is currently US$1.34 billion. Swell's joining will provide re-staking income and security support for the OP superchain.

At the same time, with the addition of Swell, the number of OP super chain ecological projects has reached 59, including super brands such as Sony, Coinbase, Uniswap, Worldcoin, Kraken, Fraxtal, etc., which has set off a chain issuance craze for a while. Discussions on hot words such as one-click chain issuance, application chain, modularization, etc. have also aroused thousands of waves.

Ethereum, as the source platform of various Web3 ecological applications, has nurtured numerous applications, including DeFi, NFTs, games, etc. These applications leverage Ethereum's traffic pool and infrastructure to rapidly achieve business expansion and ecological growth, becoming an important pillar of the Ethereum ecosystem.
However, as projects mature and products grow, they face a key challenge: the pressure on Ethereum network resources. Projects like AAVE, Uniswap, and dYdX coexist on Ethereum, each facing significant pressure to homogenize. At the same time, there is also substantial competition for user resources in the EVM ecosystem, making it increasingly difficult for new ecosystems to get started.

In recent years, with the rise of artificial intelligence, AI has penetrated various industries such as manufacturing, e-commerce, advertising, and pharmaceuticals; the cryptocurrency field is no exception. The fusion of artificial intelligence and blockchain has led us to see a unique digital asset — AI crypto tokens.
Its popularity began at the end of 2022, with the explosion of OpenAI's intelligent chatbot ChatGPT, many people realized that artificial intelligence is no longer just in movies; more applications have entered reality, and AI has been applied as an efficient productivity tool in actual industries.
The AI frenzy has also impacted institutional giants. For example, Google announced it would develop its own AI chatbot, Bard. Additionally, noteworthy news is that Microsoft acquired OpenAI for $10 billion and proposed to integrate it into its Bing search engine. This sustained mainstream interest in AI technology has led to explosive growth in the market value of various AI tokens, with some increasing by as much as 1600%!

As a blockchain developer, compatibility and development efficiency are one of my biggest concerns. Recently, I have taken a deep look at the Starcoin chain and found that it not only has high performance characteristics, but is also compatible with the Aptos ecosystem. This compatibility is of great significance to the development of the Move ecosystem and the unification of standards.

Why do public chains need to be compatible?
I had never thought about this question clearly before, until I got a deeper understanding of Starcoin 2.0, I got the answer.
In blockchain, compatibility is often an underestimated but crucial feature. Many public chains pursue hard indicators such as ecological development, TPS, and TVL. Especially with the rise of more and more blockchain platforms and ecosystems, how to make these different chains compatible and collaborative has become the key to promoting the development of the industry. In this regard, the compatibility of EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) is undoubtedly a successful example. It allows us to see the importance of compatibility and also points the way for other blockchains.

As someone who has been paying attention to blockchain technology for a long time, I have been looking for projects that can truly bring about change. Among the many public blockchains, TPS (transactions per second) is one of my focuses. After all, any blockchain project that cannot process enough transactions will not be able to gain a foothold in the decentralized future. At this point, Starcoin recently attracted my attention because it broke through 130,000 TPS in the 2.0 mainnet trial environment! This made me want to learn more about this project.
1. Why is TPS so important?

Recently, the popular public chain project Movement has made another big move, announcing the launch of its public test network and launching a series of test incentive activities, making the Move ecosystem a hot topic again. Less than one day after the launch of the activity, its X media visits have exceeded one million, and various big Vs and communities are discussing its airdrop plan.
The core selling point of Movement is the Move language, which is another big hit after Aptos. So far, the Move ecosystem is still in its early stages, and the ecological leaders Aptos and Sui are performing mediocrely at this stage. Starcoin, as a potential stock, has not yet exploded, so this event of Movement has once again made the Move language popular.
