Movement's M2 Chain Now Connected to Omni's Open Liquidity Network
TLDR:
M2 integrates with Omni Network, connecting the L2 chain to the rest of Omni’s Open Liquidity Network
Movement Labs just announced that they’ve integrated their M2 chain into Omni’s Open Liquidity Network. Let’s break this down 👇
Omni Network is an L1 blockchain that was built to help solve Ethereum’s fragmentation issues that would arise following their path towards a rollup-centric future. Put simply, Omni is a messaging protocol for Ethereum rollups.
M2 is a ZK Move-EVM L2 on Ethereum. It takes advantage of Move’s parallelization (transactions executed simultaneously, rather than 1 by 1), while still benefiting from Ethereum’s security.
So far, Omni has integrated several of the top L2s, including Scroll, Arbitrum, Linea, and Optimism. & now that M2 is also integrated, it is now connected to all these other L2 networks.
So what does this mean?
Builders on the M2 network can now leverage Omni to bring users from all connected L2s into their app.
Build on Move, access users & liquidity from the other L2s.
End-users would initiate transactions as they normally would on the apps that leverage Omni, and on the backend, Omni validators relay messages between rollups. Best of all, Omni leverages EigenLayer, meaning these validators are the same ones helping validate Ethereum itself.
“Underneath”, the modular future leads to a lot of fragmentation, but partnerships like this between Movement Labs & Omni Network show we’re all striving for a world where end-users won’t know the difference.
