Move Industries<\/u><\/a>, the core contributor of the Movement Network, today announced winners of its M1 Hackathon<\/u><\/a>, the first major hackathon<\/strong> on Movement’s newly launched Layer 1 blockchain. Participants built DeFi applications, games, consumer products, and developer tools that make it easier for builders to build on the Move programming language, with winning submissions demonstrating production-ready quality that would typically require months of specialized development.<\/p>\n

The four-week hackathon attracted 100+ teams building across multiple categories. What distinguished these winners was not just what they built, but how: every participant used AI coding assistants to accelerate development.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe actively encouraged developers to build infrastructure tools that benefit the entire ecosystem<\/strong>. In fact, the dev tooling submissions were so strong we added a second winner,” said Rahat Chowdhury, Head of Developer Relations at Move Industries. “Trace and Movehat bring about the Hardhat and Tenderly-level developer experience that developers have been asking for in the Move Ecosystem.<\/p>\n

AI tools enabled teams to deliver polished front-ends while going deep on protocol-level work. Teams like Trace were able to go much deeper into Protocol level work<\/strong> and deliver developer tooling that can 10x the developer experience. I\u2019ve been using these tools myself for work immediately after I finished judging.”<\/p>\n

Movement’s partnership with Replit provided developers with one-month access<\/strong> to cloud-based development environments, removing hardware barriers. Multiple winners leveraged Replit to build out polished front-ends while focusing their expertise on core technical challenges.<\/p>\n

The hackathon awarded $30,000 across six categorie<\/strong>s, with winners selected based on utility, technical execution, and potential impact on the Move ecosystem:<\/p>\n
