Fragmented lending markets fragment ecosystems.
We're moving different.
After a formal RFP process for Movement's canonical lending and borrowing market, MovePosition has been chosen as the winner.

Move is for money.
Money needs a wallet.
That's why we're launching Motion Wallet, a self-custodial, Movement-native wallet built from the ground up for moving money across the Movement ecosystem.
v1.0 is live now and ready for you.
Last week, the Scholars Guild distributed over 100,000 Parthenon XP to our scholars in recognition of the awesome work they’ve been consistently delivering over the past few months. This distribution covers activity from October through January. Next month, we’ll be releasing the XP for February, March, and April. @movement_xyz

This is an episode you don't want to miss with our CEO @Torabyou and Seb (@seb3point0) from Epicenter (@epicenterbtc).
🟡 Why is MOVE for money?
🟡 Why did Movement pivot?
🟡 And a lot more...
Watch here:
Traveling to Turkey opened my eyes to how relatively miserable our American culture is towards families.
Almost every sit down restaurant in Turkey had designated kids areas, some even had actual indoor playgrounds. There are always kid specific treats, chairs, and attractions.
My daughter was 1 years old and I swear every single waiter and waitress picked her up, showed her love and doted on her. Genuine smiles and happiness.
Contrast that to the typical first parent nightmare of kids crying on a plane or restaurant. Or a kid having a meltdown in the grocery store because they want candy and you said no. That perceived feeling that everyone is judging you.
You might say “well Torab, that’s just your perception, doesn’t mean it’s true.”
Fair point, but the question is why didn’t I feel that way in Turkey?
In Turkey, children are just seen as essential fabrics of society, as they should be.
So why does typical city American culture feel so adversarial towards kids?
My take is simple: because younger adults (18-32) generally live alone or with other adults. They don’t have to deal with kids. As a result their child empathy muscles atrophy and patience becomes thinner and thinner.
This is why it sucks to be the first person in your group of friends to have a kid. You are more likely to change plans, be late, have to leave early, kid throws up, step away to change diapers, etc. This can be really annoying for the friends who haven’t experienced kids of their own, or haven’t dealt with kids for a while.
You forget how kids are. Both the enchanting splendor of their imaginations, and the stinky rotten diaper smell.
It’s also the same reason why we lack empathy with the elderly. We don’t meaningfully interact with them in a daily basis. The moment they can’t be fully independent, we ship them off to senior homes.
As a result we create a fake world where we are almost exclusively surrounded by fully capable adults, with full autonomy and independence. The empathy muscles continues to atrophy.
This is also why modern relationships are so difficult. Most people settle down in their 30’s, after their personalities have ossified. If you are used to unilaterally choosing where to go, what to wear, what to eat, when to sleep, when to gym, when to work, etc…it’s aggravating to have to give up any portion of that autonomy to another person, even if you love them.
What am I supposed to take away from this diatribe?
Spend more time with kids.
Spend more time with the elderly.
Touch grass anon.

Make Your Move.
WHY TF DID YOU GUYS PARTNER WITH @KASTxyz ?
This is why.
We’ve seen transactions soar once $MOVE token withdrawals were enabled. Net new users into the ecosystem both for Movement and for KAST.
Airdrops and incentives are all about user acquisition. If you aren’t growing your user base, then it’s all bullshit.
The question that remains is “now what?”
How do we make the ecosystem sticky?
To be honest, we have work to do but below are some options
You can stake your $MOVE here: https://t.co/QEO5uNwdvl
You can swap on @meridian_money@YuzuSwap@mosaicagg @InterestDEX
You can supply it as collateral on: @MovePosition@EchelonMarket@JouleFinance
You can put it into a vault on: @canopyxyz
You can wager it on: @doubleup_app
Or you can bridge to @HyperliquidX and use it as collateral and trade on leverage.
132% more transactions is good, but our goal is exponential and orders of magnitude of growth.
More atypical partnerships soon to be announced.
Gmove.
