What is Moonbeam (GLMR)?

Moonbeam (GLMR) is a blockchain platform that runs on the Polkadot network. It helps different blockchains talk to each other — meaning they can swap data or tokens easily. Developers can build dApps (decentralized apps) on Moonbeam or move over existing Ethereum projects since it supports Ethereum tools like MetaMask, Hardhat, and Solidity.

Moonbeam is a parachain in the Polkadot network, which means it gets the benefit of shared security and scalability. The main goal of Moonbeam is to make blockchains work better together by making it super easy to transfer tokens or data between networks like Ethereum and Bitcoin.

How does Moonbeam (GLMR) work?

Moonbeam uses the Substrate framework and works as an Ethereum-compatible parachain in the Polkadot ecosystem. That means developers can easily bring their existing Ethereum dApps over to Moonbeam without having to make a bunch of changes. It also supports multiple programming languages and is fully compatible with tools like Solidity and Vyper — which makes life easier for Ethereum devs.

Thanks to Cross-Consensus Messaging (XCM), Moonbeam can communicate with other parachains in the Polkadot network. It also uses bridges like cBridge and Multichain Swap Protocol to let users swap assets between Moonbeam and other chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Who founded Moonbeam?

The company behind Moonbeam, PureStake, was founded by Derek Yoo in 2019. Moonbeam first launched on testnets and officially went live on the Polkadot network on January 11, 2022 — all by PureStake. Derek Yoo had a vision to make blockchain communication simpler. Thanks to his background in software and networking, he was able to grow Moonbeam into a powerful platform for both developers and users.
