Move chains facing a real challenge: how do you actually win users away from the entrenched EVM ecosystem?



The consensus seems to point toward two main angles. First, there's the UX game—can Move-based platforms deliver a genuinely smoother abstraction layer that makes everyday interactions feel effortless compared to what Ethereum or other EVM chains offer? Raw speed isn't enough if the experience still feels clunky.

Second, the killer app approach. Rather than competing on the infrastructure level, maybe the move is to build or attract consumer-grade applications that have natural network effects and real utility—the kind of products that pull users in regardless of which chain they live on. This is where the real differentiation could happen.

The question isn't just technical superiority anymore. It's whether Move ecosystems can bundle better UX with applications that users actually want to use. That's the real battle.

According to on-chain data, the true dilemma of the Move ecosystem has surfaced — it's not a technical issue, but a problem of fund flow. I tracked the wallet addresses of several leading Move projects; no matter how fast the TPS is, it can't save the declining user retention.

To be honest, Move needs a killer app to turn things around; speed alone isn't enough. --- Even with great UX, users won't come unless there's a product people actually use. --- It seems the Move ecosystem is just missing that one blockbuster app; without it, breaking through is very difficult. --- Instead of competing over technology, competing over products is the real strength. --- It's tough; the EVM moat is too deep... --- A killer app is indeed the key, but who can create it?

Honestly, it's almost impossible for the Move chain to compete with EVM's territory... unless it really comes out with a blockbuster application. --- No matter how good the UX is, it doesn't matter if no one actually wants to use it. --- Killer app... haha, which chain isn't bragging about that these days? --- Fast speed and great experience have been praised a hundred times, but in the end, no one comes. --- The infrastructure can't compete with the lock-in effect of the EVM ecosystem, which is the core issue. --- Wait, has anyone really made money on the Move chain? --- Instead of focusing on the UX abstraction layer, it's more reliable to think about how to attract developers.

ngl, the data suggests Move chains are basically fighting a governance coordination problem disguised as a technical one. UX and killer apps are nice frameworks, but empirically speaking... most projects still haven't solved token-weighted voting incentives properly. hard to build network effects when nobody can agree on protocol direction.

Nah, basically, no matter how good the UX is, without a good app, it's useless.
