What is a Movement RPC Node?
Access Move-powered blockchain
A Movement RPC node provides applications with access to blockchain infrastructure powered by Move — a language designed for safe smart contract development with formal verification. By combining Move's security advantages with EVM compatibility, Movement enables developers to choose the right tool for their use case while accessing both Move and Ethereum ecosystems.
Why Move language matters
Solidity's flexibility creates security vulnerabilities — reentrancy, integer overflow, access control issues. Move was designed from scratch to prevent these issues through resource-oriented programming where digital assets are first-class primitives that can't be copied or lost. Move's formal verification ensures contracts behave as intended.
Movement advantages:
- Move security — prevents entire vulnerability classes
- Formal verification — mathematical proof of correctness
- Resource safety — assets can't be duplicated or lost
- EVM compatible — access Ethereum ecosystem
- Dual language — write in Move or Solidity
- Growing ecosystem — both Move and Ethereum
Resource-oriented programming
In Move, digital assets are resources — special types that can only be moved (not copied), must be used (can't disappear), and are protected by the type system. This prevents bugs like double-spending, lost funds, or unauthorized transfers at the language level, before code even executes.
Move safety guarantees:
- Resources cannot be copied or implicitly discarded
- Resources must be explicitly moved between locations
- Type system enforces ownership and access control
- Formal verification proves contract correctness
- Common Solidity exploits impossible by design
Bridging ecosystems
Movement bridges the Move ecosystem (Aptos, Sui) with Ethereum, enabling developers from both worlds. Write secure financial contracts in Move while accessing Ethereum's liquidity, or deploy Solidity contracts while benefiting from Movement's infrastructure.
This cross-ecosystem approach positions Movement as infrastructure for the next generation of secure blockchain applications.
