Introduction
Movement Labs has announced its integration with Polygon’s AggLayer, marking a significant step toward unifying liquidity across MoveVM-based Layer-2 blockchains, AggLayer-connected chains, and Ethereum. This collaboration positions Movement Labs as the first Move-based ecosystem to leverage the AggLayer, bridging the gap between Move and EVM ecosystems.
The integration coincides with the launch of Movement Labs’ public testnet, which has already attracted $160 million** in committed Total Value Locked (TVL) ahead of its mainnet release. Key contributors include **Solv Protocol ($100 million TVL) and Movement Labs investors like 280 Capital ($60 million TVL).
Key Benefits of the AggLayer Integration
Unified Liquidity:
- Connects Move-based L2s, Ethereum, and AggLayer chains.
- Solves fragmented liquidity issues in blockchain ecosystems.
Enhanced Security & Performance:
- Developers can deploy Solidity contracts on Move-based chains without code changes.
- Leverages Move language’s security while maintaining Ethereum compatibility.
Cost Efficiency:
- Uses Celestia’s data availability layer for scalable, affordable off-chain data storage.
- Retains Ethereum’s security guarantees.
“Movement offers the best of both worlds — the familiarity of an Ethereum L2 with the enhanced security of Move.” — Rushi Manche, Co-Founder, Movement Labs.

The Future of Web3 Interoperability
Polygon’s AggLayer, launched in February 2024, aims to unify users, developers, and liquidity across chains. Movement Labs’ integration accelerates this vision by introducing Move-based chains to the ecosystem.
“The AggLayer brings Web3 closer to unlimited global interoperability.” — Marc Boiron, CEO, Polygon Labs.
