Starcoin is a blockchain project that is structured in a layered manner and designed for distributed finance. Starcoin is inspired by Libra released by Facebook in 2019 . The goal is to establish a set of financial infrastructure that is simple to serve ordinary users, and use its smart contract language Move , which is specially designed for distributed financial networks and digital assets, to realize an open, permissionless public chain. Starcoin is the first public chain project in the industry to support the Move ecosystem.

Starcoin inherits the excellent security mechanism of Bitcoin, and provides the ability of high transaction throughput by improving the PoW algorithm and introducing a multi-layer network.
