Core Move manages account state with 5 native global storage operators: - `move_to(signer, resource)`: Publishes a resource under the signer's address. - `borrow_global<T>(address)`: Reads an immutable reference to `T` at address. - `borrow_global_mut<T>(address)`: Borrows a mutable reference to `T` at address. - `move_from<T>(address)`: Removes and returns `T` from address storage. - `exists<T>(address)`: Returns true if `T` is stored under address.
