Movement Labs has launched a developer mainnet aimed at integrating Facebook's Move Virtual Machine into Ethereum. This deployment will facilitate the establishment of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols by selected partners, following an earlier mainnet launch in December, with a public mainnet beta expected next month. The Move technology also underpins the Sui and Aptos layer-1 networks. Furthermore, Movement Labs plans to introduce a multi-asset liquidity program to support DeFi applications. In parallel, Cardano transitioned to decentralized governance with the Plomin hard fork, granting ADA holders voting power on critical blockchain decisions. The SSV DAO has introduced SSV 2.0, a framework to improve the decentralized staking protocol by utilizing Ethereum validators, addressing security issues of current layer-2 networks, and encouraging better interoperability. Elon Musk, in his new role leading the Department for Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), has advocated for blockchain's use in government operations to enhance efficiency and transparency in federal spending.
