The Move programming language on Sui incorporates three fundamental innovations: the object-centric data model, programmable transaction blocks, and dynamic fields. Sam Blackshear, Co-Founder and CTO at Mysten Labs, created Move just five years ago as a language specifically built for writing smart contracts on a blockchain. These three innovations on Sui increase Move's potential.

Continuing development on Move improves its efficiency and the developer experience. Migrate to Move 2024 today!
