Moonbeam
Moonbeam is an EVM-compatible Polkadot parachain for cross-chain Solidity dapps.
What is Moonbeam?
Moonbeam is a smart contract chain that runs as a Polkadot parachain while keeping full EVM compatibility, so Solidity contracts and tooling work unchanged. Developers tap Polkadot's cross-chain messaging through XCM, while users swap on StellaSwap and Beamswap, and pay gas in GLMR. Moonriver, its canary network on Kusama, mirrors the same stack for early-stage deployments.
