Move Builder Kit and M1 Hackathon Accelerate Developer Onboarding and Ecosystem Growth
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Move Industries, the core contributor of the Movement Network, powered by Replit, the leading agentic software creation platform. The collaboration will enable and onboard more than 10,000 new creators by integrating Replit’s agentic software platform directly into Movement’s ecosystem, removing traditional barriers to blockchain development and accelerating the adoption of Move as the future of secure smart contract programming.
The newly launched Move Builder Kit now features Replit-powered creator templates that enable anyone with a browser to build, test, and deploy Move applications without expensive hardware or complex local setups. This democratization of access aligns with Movement’s mission to onboard the next blockchain developers within two years, regardless of their location, economic background, or technical resources.
“Most of the world’s next great blockchain developers don’t have access to high-end machines, some builders are getting started with just tablets or mobile devices,” said Rahat Chowdhury, Head of Developer Relations at Move Industries. “Replit allows us to meet the builders no matter where they are.”
Partnership Highlights:
- Move Builder Kit Integration: Movement’s official developer education platform now features Replit-backed templates, providing instant, guided pathways for building smart contracts, dApps, and tooling on Movement Network
- Ecosystem-Wide Recognition: All developer-related events across Movement’s Global Hubs, hackathons and builder programs will feature the Move Builder Kit powered by Replit
- Premium Account Sponsorships: Outstanding Movement developers, hackathon winners, and active ecosystem teams will receive sponsored Replit premium accounts
- Zero-Setup Development: Developers can begin building Move applications immediately through their browser, with AI-assisted coding tools that accelerate development without compromising security
This launches alongside Movement’s M1 Hackathon, which challenges developers to build innovative applications on Movement Network. The hackathon features a $35,000 prize pool across 7 tracks and runs from December 1-28, 2025 with winners receiving Replit premium accounts and additional ecosystem support to bring their projects to market.
Replit’s platform serves millions of creators globally and has become synonymous with accessible, modern software development. The integration with Movement Network brings enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure to Replit’s creator community while providing Movement builders with best-in-class development tools.
