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

StakedMove is developed by the well-established team in the liquid staking track, Thunder Head Labs. It aims to provide $MOVE holders with services that ensure asset liquidity while earning additional protocol rewards.

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

StakedMove offers multiple ways to unstake:

• Instant Exchange: Users can immediately exchange $stMOVE back to $MOVE.

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

• Regular Unstaking: Users can submit an unstaking request and receive $MOVE after a 30-minute wait.

The design language of StakedMove is very simple; users only need to connect their wallet and stake $MOVE on the homepage to complete the entire staking process and immediately receive $stMOVE to start earning rewards.

DeFi

Gasyard: Cross-chain Gas optimization protocol

For DeFi users who frequently need to cross chains, high gas fees have always been an issue. Gasyard aims to reduce cross-chain gas charges, improve user experience, and lower the entry barrier for on-chain operations.

Gasyard significantly enhances cross-chain transaction speeds, compressing the cross-chain time to about 1 minute. It supports many EVM-compatible chains and is not limited by predefined routes, focusing on bridging native tokens. By simplifying the transaction process and removing the complexities associated with ERC20 tokens, it means a faster and more direct cross-chain experience for users without worrying about compatibility issues between different types of tokens.

Gasyard adopts a collateral-based bridging model, utilizing Chainlink's data sources to calculate and manage collateral, and employs Turnkey technology to protect relay keys, ensuring cross-chain transactions are secure and reliable.

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

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

The workflow of PicWe is quite straightforward: connect wallet → select public chain → trade tokens. Users can trade tokens from other chains using USDT on a specific public chain through PicWe, without going through traditional bridging, and at a lower cost than traditional bridging methods. Users do not need to learn complex multi-chain technologies; the trading process is simple and quick.

Unlike centralized exchanges, PicWe ensures that users have 100% ownership of their cryptocurrencies. As the platform upgrades and the number of users increases, cross-chain trading times will continue to shorten. The platform has attracted over 10,000 traders and community members to participate.

AI

RNDM: AI-driven modular liquidity solution

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

The AI model serves as Agents, executing operations in various exchanges' vaults and dynamically adjusting parameters based on specific assets and exchange conditions. 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 on-chain technology with audio social media. Currently, Podium is available on Google Play, but there is limited systematic introduction about the project. However, from the public information and user feedback, Podium resembles an on-chain version of Clubhouse + Google Meeting + podcast, supporting users to log in with centralized social accounts.

Movewiffrens (MWFs): A social media platform supporting paid content and paid chats

In addition to features like posting and interaction found on other SocialFi platforms, Movewiffrens introduces unique paid content and private chat functions.

Users can earn Frenspoints through activities on the platform and other platforms (like Twitter and Discord) to unlock paid content. Creators of paid content can set access levels and provide previews to attract users to use Frenspoints to view the full content. Meanwhile, users who mint the platform's PASS card, Frenspass, can use the private chat feature to have direct conversations with KOLs and celebrities.

NFTs/GameFi

Seekers Alliance: Card game

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

The main gameplay includes card collection and battles. Players acquire cards through various means, build decks, and then battle against other players. The game offers multiple modes, including adventure mode and ranked play. The team has integrated on-chain technology into the card-drawing feature, claiming to enhance the transparency of the drawing process by making the drawing probabilities public on-chain and using third-party random generation results.

Simemes: Combining Meme culture with GameFi

Currently not open for public testing, the official page only has an option to join the whitelist. The content on the official Twitter mainly combines trending topics to create memes. (It's unclear what the basis for the award is…)

Infrastructure

Movide (By Sovide): Online integrated development environment for Move language

Movide is an online integrated development environment (IDE) designed specifically for the Move programming language, primarily targeting blockchains that use Move (such as Movement and Sui). Movide's architecture is based on Solide (a larger development ecosystem). The core goal of Movide is to simplify the Move development process by providing a simple, lightweight user interface and a rich set of functional tools. Movide supports loading Move packages directly from GitHub or verified on-chain packages, allowing developers to complete the entire process of compiling, building, and deploying Move packages easily in the browser without complex local environment configurations, greatly improving development efficiency.

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

Scaffold Move: 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 automated deployment scripts, module hot reloading, custom React hooks, and a Web3 component library, making it easier for developers to create and deploy Move modules and build interactive interfaces. It also provides wallet integration features, supporting connections to Aptos-compatible wallets.

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

Summary

In summary, this year's winning projects cover multiple key areas from infrastructure to application layers. In particular, the focus on cross-chain or fully-chain solutions demonstrates the project's emphasis on simplifying the difficulty of on-chain operations and lowering the entry barriers for on-chain applications or development.
