Move Resource
A first-class type in the Move smart contract language (Aptos, Sui) that represents an asset. Resources can't be copied or accidentally destroyed — only moved between owners. This eliminates whole bug classes (double-spending, accidental burn) at compile time rather than via runtime checks. Move originated at Facebook for Diem; Aptos and Sui inherited it after Diem shut down. Resource semantics are the source of Move's strong safety story.
