We have exciting news to share with our fantastic community, including the new cross-chain capabilities on Moonriver with KILT and Karura, governance updates with Polkassembly, a new hackathon available in Moonriver, and more! Let’s get started!
Whats New with Moonbeam & Moonriver
Polkassembly Governance and MetaMask Integration is Live on Moonriver, Coming Soon to MoonbeamGo to page https://moonbeam.network/announcements/polkassembly-governance-and-metamask-integration-is-live-on-moonriver/
Moonbeam announced an integration with Polkassembly. This integration allows users to directly participate in governance and discussion for Moonriver and, soon, Moonbeam.
Karura’s KAR Token is Live on Moonriver & MOVR is Live on Karura Through XCM IntegrationGo to page https://moonbeam.network/announcements/kar-token-live-on-moonriver/
Karura’s token (KAR) is now live on Moonriver, and Moonriver (MOVR) tokens can be used on Karura. Once deposited on Moonriver as xcKAR (an XC-20 representation of KAR), the KAR token can be used across Moonriver’s active DeFi ecosystem.
KINT Token Can Now Be Used Natively Within Moonriver via XCM IntegrationGo to page https://moonbeam.network/announcements/kint-token-can-now-be-used-within-moonriver-via-xcm/
KINT, the native token of Kintsugi, is now available on Moonriver. Kintsugi tokens can now be used as xcKINT live within Moonriver’s fully Ethereum-compatible environment. The introduction of XC-20s in the broader Kusama ecosystem opens the door for more native cross-chain interactions possible across the Kusama and Polkadot ecosystems without needing a bridge.
