# MiniMove Introduction

## Overview

MiniMove is a [MoveVM](https://move-language.github.io/move)-based variant of
Initia's rollup framework, designed to support the deployment of and interaction
with MoveVM smart contracts.

Specifically, our MoveVM is based on the
[Aptos variant](https://aptos.dev/en/build/smart-contracts) of the MoveVM, with
additions and changes to improve performance and enable compatibility with the
rollup's underlying Cosmos SDK stack and the wider Initia ecosystem.
