Heyooo. This is The Next Move a weekly newsletter keeping you up to date with whats next in Aptos, Sui and the Move ecosystem. 🚀

Here’s whats up this week 👇️

Mover Arbitrum to Aptos bridge live.

This is so genius I don’t know why I didn’t think of it myself. ( well actually bridges are a scary game I don’t personally want to play it but hey )

Arbitrum is currently the biggest L2 in the ETH Ecosystem. L2Beat has TVL at just shy of 3B. 💰

The customers who value Arbitrum for its low costs will like that on Aptos too and perhaps they will enjoy the TPS bump. Arbitrum is currently at 5. ( Man does that number feel ancient )

The gist is capital wants to flow like water and Mover just opened the pipe.

 
This could be a very useful tool for defi and onboarding in general for Aptos.

Metapixel Catcha Cats coming to Aptos

I do’t usually talk about NFT’s here but I couldn’t help but be inspired by this video from Metapixel about the coming launch. Seriously. Watch it.

Metapixel is made by NPixel a gaming company thats raised about $80m USD with a team that has worked on big successful games.

And no one knows how to push consumers buttons like gaming companies.

This feels like the bleeding edge of sophisticated gaming companies coming for your NFT casino timeline.

Also it looks like great demonstration of Move’s inherent flexibility.

For example:

Customization by purchasing upgrades seems very center stage.

Freemium gaming vibes anyone?

How about full customization.

Really building your own thing more than just buying things. We see spray cans and rainbow cats everywhere.

How about consumables?

Tamagotchi 2023 for real.

Lastly we have a peak of reveal mechanics ( probably ).

And the vibes are actually just fun enough. This might be my first Aptos NFT.

Only real question now is who is building a catfood dex? 👀
