Cooper Scanlon and Rushi Manche are CoFounders at Movement Labs.
In this episode, we discuss how Movement Labs is helping to solve the cold start problem for non-EVM blockchains such as Aptos and Sui. Having recently come out of stealth, Movement Labs is building a modular framework to build and deploy Move-based infrastructure, applications, and blockchains in any distributed environment. If they're successful, Movement could be a huge catalyst to onboarding a global community of Move builders working to build new decentralized blockchain networks.
