As another public chain that is being touted by the market as the “Ethereum killer,” Movement, which uses the same development language as Sui and Aptos, is also one of the most anticipated public chains this year.

Recently, Movement's hackathon Battle of Olympus was successfully concluded. There were 2,100 project applications for this hackathon, and finally 10 projects in different tracks won awards.

As the winners selected from a hundred, what are the highlights of these projects? This article will introduce the winning projects to help readers understand the projects and further explore the Movement ecosystem.

Titan Class

Shenchao Note: The "Titan" category refers to projects that have been running in the Movement ecosystem for a while. In addition, you can click on the original text of each project to view its social media account, so that you can keep an eye on it later.

StakedMove (by Thunderhead): The first LST protocol in the Movement ecosystem

StakedMove was developed by Thunder Head Labs, a veteran team in the liquidity staking track. It aims to provide $MOVE holders with services that can both guarantee asset liquidity and earn additional protocol income.

Users can stake their $MOVE to StakedMove and exchange it 1:1 for LST vouchers $stMOVE. While enjoying the staking rewards, they can also use $stMOVE to participate in other DeFi projects. Protocol rewards are automatically distributed through daily rebases. Users only need to hold $stMOVE to automatically receive these rewards without any additional operations.

StakedMove provides multiple ways to cancel the stake:

• Instant Redemption: Users can instantly redeem $stMOVE back to $MOVE.

• DEX Trading: Users can sell $stMOVE instantly on third-party decentralized exchanges at a small discount.

• Regular Unstake: Users can submit an unstake request and receive $MOVE after waiting 30 minutes.

StakedMove's design language is very simple. Users only need to connect their wallet and stake $MOVE on the homepage to complete the entire staking process, and immediately obtain $stMOVE to start earning rewards.

DeFi

Gasyard: A cross-chain gas optimization protocol

For DeFi users who often need to cross-chain, high Gas has always been a problem. Gasyard aims to charge cross-chain Gas, improve user experience, and lower the entry threshold for on-chain operations.

Gasyard significantly improves the speed of cross-chain transactions, compressing the cross-chain time to about 1 minute. At the same time, Gasyard supports many EVM-compatible chains, is not restricted by predefined routes, and focuses on bridging native tokens. By simplifying the transaction process and removing the complexity associated with ERC20 tokens, it means a faster and more direct cross-chain experience for users, without having to worry about compatibility issues between different types of tokens.

Gasyard adopts a collateral-based bridging model, which uses Chainlink's data source to calculate and manage collateral, and uses Turnkey technology to protect relay keys to ensure that cross-chain transactions are secure and reliable.

PicWe: A fully decentralized social and trading platform that simplifies user barriers

PicWe is a fully decentralized social and trading platform designed to simplify cross-chain transactions.

PicWe's workflow is quite simple: connect your wallet → select a public chain → trade tokens. Users can use USDT on a public chain to trade tokens on other chains through PicWe, without the need for traditional bridging, and the fees are lower than traditional bridging methods. Users do not need to learn complex multi-chain technology, and the transaction process is simple and fast.

Unlike centralized exchanges, PicWe ensures that users have 100% ownership of their cryptocurrencies, and as the platform is upgraded and users increase, cross-chain transaction times will continue to shorten. The platform has attracted more than 10,000 traders and community members to participate.

AI

RNDM: AI-driven modular liquidity solution

RNDM combines AI technology with trading technology. At its core is a proprietary AI model called the curation engine, which runs on the inference network nodes from Ritual and has been trained on the order flow patterns of all major exchanges. This enables it to deeply understand and analyze market dynamics, thereby providing users with smarter and more accurate trading strategies.

The AI ​​model provides services as Agents, performs operations in the vaults of various exchanges, and can dynamically adjust parameters according to the situation of specific assets and exchanges. Currently, RNDM has launched two main Agents: Atlas and Ganesh. Atlas is a market-making assistant that has achieved a total trading volume of $130 million; while Ganesh is a sentiment analysis agent with a total trading volume of $500,000.

SocialFi

Podium: Web3 Social Audio Platform

Podium attempts to combine decentralized chain technology with audio social media. Currently, Podium is available on Google Play, but there is little systematic introduction to the project. However, from public information and user feedback, Podium is more like an on-chain version of Clubhouse+Google meeting+podcast, which supports users to log in with centralized social accounts.

Movewiffrens (MWFs): A social media platform that supports paid content and paid chat

In addition to the same posting and interaction functions as other SocialFi platforms, Movewiffrens has launched unique paid content and private chat functions.

Users can unlock paid content by earning Frenspoints through activities on the platform and other platforms such as Twitter and Discord. Creators of paid content can set access levels and provide previews to entice users to view the full content using Frenspoints. At the same time, users who have minted the platform PASS card Frenspass can use the private chat function to have direct conversations with KOLs and celebrities.

NFTs/GameFiSeekers Alliance: Card Games

Seekers Alliance is a multiplayer collectible encrypted card game developed by the Taiwanese team Hermite Entertainment. The game is set in a fictional island world, and players can choose to join one of three story-based factions.

The main gameplay of the game includes card collection and battle. Players obtain cards in different ways, build decks, and then battle with other players. The game provides multiple game modes such as adventure mode and ranking. The team integrated the on-chain technology into the card drawing function, claiming that by making the card drawing probability public on the chain and using a third party to randomly generate the results, the transparency of the card drawing process is improved.

Simemes: Combining Meme Culture with GameFi

Currently, the public beta is not open yet, and the official page only has an option to add it to the whitelist. The official content is basically based on hot topics to make emoticons and play memes. (I don’t know what the basis for the award is...?)

Infrastructure

Movide (By Sovide): Provides an online integrated development environment for the Move language

Movide is an online integrated development environment (IDE) designed for the Move programming language, mainly for blockchains that use the Move language (such as Movement and Sui). Movide's architecture is based on Solide (a larger development ecosystem). Movide's core goal is to simplify the Move development process by providing a simple, lightweight user interface and rich functional tools. Movide supports loading Move packages directly from GitHub or verified on-chain packages. Developers do not need complex local environment configuration and can easily complete the entire process of compiling, building, and deploying Move packages in the browser, greatly improving development efficiency.

In addition to basic development functions, Movide also provides powerful on-chain object management capabilities. Developers can easily load and manage on-chain objects by object ID or transaction summary. Movide supports multiple types of networks, including development networks, test networks, and main networks, providing developers with comprehensive testing and deployment options.

Scaffold Move: A comprehensive dapp building toolkit

Scaffold Move is also an open source toolkit designed for Move language developers. It is mainly used to simplify the process of building dApps on blockchains based on the Move language. This toolkit integrates technologies such as Move, Aptos TS SDK, Next.js, Tailwind CSS and TypeScript.

Some of the main features of Scaffold Move include deployment script automation, module hot reloading, custom React hooks, and Web3 component libraries, making it easier for developers to create and deploy Move modules and build interactive interfaces. It also provides wallet integration and supports connecting to Aptos-compatible wallets.

Overall, Scaffold Move provides a practical development toolkit for the Move ecosystem, making it easier to build dApps.

summary

In general, the winning projects cover multiple key areas from infrastructure to application. In particular, the cross-chain or full-chain solutions show that the project owners attach great importance to innovation in simplifying the difficulty of on-chain operations and lowering the entry threshold for on-chain applications or development.
