Inside the Future of DeFi | Rushi Manche on Move, Global Adoption & the Future of Web3 Security

Rushi Manche dives into the hurdles and possibilities that blockchain technology presents, particularly when it comes to boosting security and encouraging global adoption.

Layer Two Limitations & Move’s Vision:

• Ethereum layer twos remain slow and expensive, while Move’s technology offers faster finality and lower computational costs.
• Move takes advantage of a cutting-edge virtual machine that focuses on speed, parallel processing, and formal verification, all aimed at minimizing vulnerabilities in smart contracts.

Security & Developer Experience:

• With more than $2.5 billion in funding and no hacks reported in the Move ecosystem, the emphasis is on creating a safer and more developer-friendly space than what you typically find with the traditional EVM.
• Move is all about improving user experience by providing quicker transaction confirmations and more dependable execution. This is especially important considering the staggering $4.5 billion that gets lost each year due to smart contract hacks.

Global Adoption Trends:

• The discourse also touches on regional variations with strong crypto adoption in Asia, a lot of retail and payments interest for crypto; Latin America, Europe look promising elsewhere e.g. fintech / consumer apps.
• Crypto is viewed as an unstoppable force challenging centralized banking systems, sparking a major transformation in global finance—from established centers like London to rising players like Hong Kong.

Ecosystem Growth & Future Developments:

• The movement is attracting a new wave of younger developers tired of the traditional EVM circle, paving the way for innovative projects in DeFi, gaming, and consumer applications.
• Upcoming announcements include further developments on mainnet and continued expansion of the Move ecosystem, setting the stage for global financial transformation.
