Leverage Ethereum’s broad development ecosystem by using the tools you love, like MetaMask, Remix, and Truffle, in addition to Substrate-based APIs.
Built-in integrations for assets like DOT and ERC-20s and infrastructure services like Chainlink and TheGraph. Continual efforts to integrate with other Polkadot-native assets, like the Acala Dollar.
Moonbeam delivers complete Ethereum compatibility within a Polkadot parachain environment, so developers can continue to use the programming languages and tools they’ve grown used to — but within a fast-growing and scalable Layer 1 chain.
It is also compatible with the Substrate and Polkadot ecosystem, including block explorers, wallets, parachains, and more, allowing users the flexibility to choose the right tools and services for the job.
Learn how easy it can be to build or redeploy Solidity projects in Moonbeam’s Substrate-based environment.
Moonbeam is so much more than a “bridge:” it’s a launchpad for applications that want to tap into Polkadot’s success without hefty code rewrites. Use the Moonbeam platform to redeploy your Solidity smart contracts to a parallel instance — with little or no changes.
By mirroring Ethereum’s Web3 RPC, accounts, keys, subscriptions, logs, and more, Moonbeam minimizes the changes required to run existing Solidity smart contracts on the network. Ethereum projects can simply replicate their DApp and deploy it to Moonbeam using Truffle, Remix, and other popular deployment tools.
The Moonbeam platform also extends the base Ethereum feature set with additional features such as on-chain governance, staking, and cross-chain integrations.
Here’s how the Moonbeam platform goes beyond basic EVM compatibility:
Use your existing Ethereum-like H160 accounts & ECDSA signatures to interact with Moonbeam.
Connect popular tools like MetaMask, Remix, and Truffle via a complete set of Web3 RPC endpoints. Use well known Javascript libraries such as Web3.Js or Ethers.Js.
If you have an existing contract, it will work right away with no need to rewrite or reconfigure.
Write smart contracts in Solidity or anything that compiles to Solidity bytecode.
As a decentralized smart contract platform, Moonbeam requires the Glimmer token to function.
Some of the uses of the Glimmer token on Moonbeam include:
More information about distribution, supply, and other token economic behaviors can be found on the Moonbeam Foundation website.
