Greg Nazario, Founding Engineer at Aptos Foundation, recently shared an insightful thread on Twitter about a groundbreaking feature of Move-2: the enum structure. This innovative capability enables more secure and flexible fund management on the blockchain. If you’re looking to send funds without worrying about losing them to a wrong address or unclaimed transactions, this solution is for you. Leveraging Move-2, you can build reliable escrow systems that empower users with trust, control, and extensibility.
The enum structure in Move-2 allows you to create secure and flexible escrow systems on the blockchain. This means you can send funds under certain conditions and even get them back if needed. For example, if you send money to the wrong address, you can retrieve it using this system.
Key Features:
- Simple Lockup: The sender can cancel the transfer anytime.
- Time Lock: Funds are returned to the sender if not claimed within a specified period, preventing loss from mistakes or delays.
Unlike Venmo or bank transfers, this system gives you full control over your money. You can set conditions like “the recipient has 30 days to claim the funds, or I’ll take them back.” This ensures trust and prevents issues like unclaimed payments or immediate cancellations.
Use Cases:
- Secure escrows for token transfers
- Flexible lockup systems for NFTs
- Recovering funds if they’re not used within a set time
You can check the full code and details here. Try extending the contract to add NFT escrows or other custom features to improve your Move skills.
