Reasons to participate
Movement is a modular framework for building and deploying Move-based infrastructure, applications, and blockchains in any distributed environment. Movement co-founders Rushi Manche and Cooper Scanlon said they hope to build the first L2 using Move on Ethereum, and the company also plans to launch its own token, tentatively named MOVE.

At present, Movement has completed secondary financing with an amount of over 40 million US dollars, which are:
On September 13, 2023, Movement Labs announced the completion of a US$3.4 million Pre-Seed round of financing, led by Varys Capital, dao 5, Blizzard The Avalanche Fund, Borderless Capital and its cross-chain fund focused on the Wormhole ecosystem, with participation from Colony, Interop Ventures, Elixir Capital, and BENQI.
On April 26, 2024, Movement Labs announced the completion of a US$38 million Series A financing round, led by Polychain Capital, with participation from Hack VC, dao 5 and Robot Ventures.
At the same time, on May 1 this year, Binance Labs announced an investment in Movement Labs, but the specific amount has not been disclosed.

STEP 5. Add liquidity (the following operation forms a liquidity pool with MOVE and BTC)
summary
For Movement, there is currently very little interactive content that can be experienced, but it is still worth paying attention to the investment from Binance Labs, OKX Ventures and Polychain Capital.
According to official information, Galxe Galaxy Mission is under testing, and the test points will be reset to zero; after the official launch, you can do the guild identity/role mission. In addition, for those who have paid attention to it early, we can enter the official Discord to upgrade the chat level to unlock 8/16/24, which can unlock the three early roles of chatty/chattier/chattiest, and perhaps there will be some bonuses when issuing token airdrops in the future.
Initia: The first Cosmos IBC-compatible MoveVM
Reasons to participate
Initia is an L1 on Cosmos, leveraging an application-specific L2 with OP Rollup. With Initia’s architecture, including L1, L2, and communication layers, developers can easily launch application-specific blockchains based on Initia L2 without having to understand complex chain-level infrastructure or run a validator set.

At the same time, it is worth noting that as early as October 12 last year, Binance Labs announced its investment in Initia. The funds have not been disclosed yet. The funds raised will be used to support the development of Initia infrastructure and developer tools.

summary
This 8-week testnet incentive activity has no interaction costs, and the Binance Labs investment project is worthy of special attention.
According to official information, most of the problems encountered so far are due to too many addresses participating in the testnet activities, which shows how popular it is. Therefore, if you encounter problems doing the above tasks, you can only try repeatedly until you complete them.
