General Questions

How can I get the GLMR token?

  • If you are a community member whitelisted for the Take Flight event. This event is scheduled to start on September 7, 2021
  • The Moonbeam crowdloan. The Moonbeam Foundation will launch the Moonbeam crowdloan campaign when Parity announces the start of the parachain auctions on Polkadot. Stay tuned for updated information on rewards and timing.
  • Once Moonbeam launches on Polkadot, 8% of GLMR is allocated to Liquidity Programs.
  • Once the Glimmer token is available in exchanges.

What payments will be accepted?

USDT, USDC, ETH, and BTC.

Who is the Moonbeam Foundation’s technology partner for the event?

Tokensoft, IncGo to page https://www.tokensoft.io/ is the technology provider for Take Flight.

Why are US residents and citizens not eligible to participate?

The Moonbeam Foundation is following the advice of counsel in excluding a resident and citizen of a country, the laws of which prohibit or conflict with the holding, sale, or trading of tokens from participating in the crowdloan. For additional information on eligibility please see Take Flight eligibility.

Can I participate if I am a resident from or citizen of Hong Kong or Taiwan?

Yes, residents and citizens from Hong & Taiwan are eligible to participate.

About the Project

Why did GLMR token distribution for Take Flight decrease from 16% to 8%?

We shifted 8% (of the 16% previously allocated) from a token event to run liquidity programs on Moonbeam. As we have engaged further with different teams in our ecosystem, it became increasingly clear that shifting 8% of the allocation earmarked for a token event to form liquidity incentives would fuel the growth of the Moonbeam network while still ensuring GLMR is distributed to the builders, users and community of Moonbeam.

Why did the Moonbeam Foundation decide to redenominate the GLMR token?

The GLMR token has been redenominated from 10 million to 1 billion initial genesis supply, in the same way that DOT was redenominated before the Polkadot network launch. This is largely being done to mirror the 100x difference between Kusama and Polkadot’s token supplies, which makes it easier to understand the tokenomics of GLMR. The tokenomics and ownership, including the 5% annual inflation rate, remain the same.

How can there be 80M tokens allocated for the Take Flight event? I thought the total supply was 10M?

80M is 8% of the genesis supply after the 100x redenomination of GLMRGo to page https://moonbeam.foundation/glimmer-token-tokenomics from a 10M to a 1B genesis supply.

Will there also be a crowdloan for the Moonbeam network?

Yes, the Moonbeam Foundation will run a crowdloan campaign once parachain auctions commence on Polkadot. Rewards and other details about the crowdloan are still TBD.
