Move Programming Language

Definition

Move programming language is a secure, executable bytecode language designed for safe resource management on blockchains. Developed by Meta for the Diem blockchain project, Move is specifically crafted to prevent common programming errors that can lead to vulnerabilities in smart contracts. It emphasizes scarcity and access control for digital assets, treating them as linear resources that cannot be duplicated or accidentally discarded. This design principle enhances security and reliability for decentralized applications.
