Security comes before scale.
Our users trust Joule with real capital - we take that responsibility seriously.
That’s why we’ve successfully completed our second security audit with @Sherlock_DeFi, clearing the path for upcoming features and deeper ecosystem integrations.

This year was momentum.
Next year becomes acceleration.
Movement upgraded. Joule expanded.
the ecosystem found its rhythm.
2026 is where everything connects.
Happy New Year, and let’s keep building in motion.
M1 is live! The future of The Movement begins now.
For the first time ever, a Move-based blockchain has migrated from an L2 to an L1.
The new Movement layer one, known as "M1", liberates the network from reliance on slow and centralized services from other chains and provides a sovereign stack with lightning-fast speed, decentralized validators, and big new Move features.
Key Upgrades:
- High performance: 500 L2 TPS ➡️ 10,000+ L1 TPS
- A dedicated validator set: true decentralized consensus
- Native $MOVE staking: earn yield while helping to secure the network
- Community-first staking: team and investors cannot stake locked tokens
- Move 2.0: major smart contract language update for next-gen apps
M1 is the dawning of a new era.
Join the People's Chain. Join The Movement.
Move is for Money.
Back in 2018 the Facebook team set out to create a next gen blockchain language to power the world’s financial infrastructure of the future.
Billions of dollars in R&D, years of work, and the top PhDs and researchers in the world resulted in the creation of the Move language.
Zuck wasn’t wrong, but his timing was.
Today, we move one step closer to fulfilling that original vision with our strategic partnership with @KASTxyz.
500K+ KAST users around the globe will now earn 4% in $MOVE on every purchase with over 150M+ merchants worldwide.
Every single user will have a Movement wallet and become a Mover.
Not that you need me to rattle off any statistics to make you bullish on crypto neobanks or decentralized payment infrastructure but stablecoins processed $9T in volume last year. Visa even reported a 4x increase in stablecoin card spending in Q4.
Remittance.
Payments.
FX.
Quality yield bearing products.
It’s all going to be on Movement and it will be side by side with the KAST team.
So why KAST?
Warren Buffet famously advised to work with people who have: Intelligence, Energy, and Integrity.
This is precisely why we are working with @raagulanpathy and the KAST squad.
Over the last 6 months we’ve gotten to know one another and I can only conclude that this team is primed to eat the world. Their extensive background in the TradFi payments/cards space + relentless pursuit of flawless execution made this an easy decision.
Welcome to Act I of Movement 2.0.
More to come InshaAllah.
Gmove.
this happens when founders truly resonate the same energy, believe in each other’s goals, and have faith.

Why @KASTxyz and @movement_xyz
Why am I backing @torabyou
What does that mean for Solana?
The story:
I’m ngl, when Torab first reached out, all I heard about Movement was what all of you heard too. This was back in July.
I was in California a month later though, and we finally met in person.
I didn’t beat around the bush, and asked him to tell me straight what happened, what is happening now, and what next.
I realised that @torabyou was essentially put in a tough spot, but instead of walking away, he leaned in. Respect.
I still was obviously very cautious, reputation and brand is everything.
But as I spent more time with him, I formed the conclusion - a) he had principles and morality at his core, and b) he was a Solana maxi too (like all of us at KAST).
So why bother partnering with a chain like @movement_xyz when Solana is a gazzilion times bigger.
My conclusion is simply this:
1/ Some chains are chains
2/ Some chains are ecosystems
3/ Some chains will form into more specialised offerings
Solana is 1 & 2, and the best at it by far.
But for the first time, I was open to the idea there maybe more specialist things we can try, with someone new.
Torab’s proposition was simply this…
“I believe in @KASTxyz and believe in the team to make it the #1 Neobank built on crypto rails”
“All I want is a chance, to work on specialist use cases with KAST and I’ll throw everything behind it. I don’t want a guarantee, I want a chance”.
Compelling.
This guy, basically got f—ked by the main founders, stuck around, literally pushed the whole company up a hill on his back.
He believes in us.
Will literally throw financial resources at our users.
And throw millions more into R&D.
(And…still a Solana Maxi at heart).
Albeit, with a big G-Move chain on top.
OK, what’s not to love.
It took six months of planning, discussions, to get here. But excited for the partnership, and working together on lots of interesting new things.
Let’s go!
(In case you don’t know about stage 1 of the partnership, 4% airdrop in $MOVE on all spend to $5k/mth for the next several months. Sign up at @KASTxyz)
We are excited to align with @movement_xyz and join the Move Alliance! ⚡️
