Moonbeam - bridge to the Polkadot network

[lesnik_utsa 7453]

 

 

April 27, 2020 could be a landmark date in the blockchain industry. It was on this day that PureStake (a leader in the development of secure and reliable blockchain infrastructure) announced Moonbeam, a smart contract platform for the Polkadot network. According to PureStake CEO Derek Yoo (former founder and CTO of Fuze), "Moonbeam developers will be able to create applications that work with users and assets from other blockchain networks."

 

Moonbeam provides an essential service for the Polkadot network that does not natively include smart contracts. Moonbeam smart contracts greatly simplify the work of developers and reduce the cost of creating decentralized applications, thanks to the use of Web 3.0 technologies. As a result, there are options for solving global financial problems

 

"Moonbeam's approach promises to systematize the world of smart contracts in ways we've never seen before," said Dieter Fishbein, Web3 Foundation Development Manager

 

The Moonbeam network has the following features, which contribute to the capabilities and compatibility of multi-chain applications of various networks:

• Smart contracts that initially work on other networks (Ethereum and Bitcoin) become available on Polkadot by connecting through bridges
• Support for Web3, Solidity and EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) enables existing decentralized applications with ease in Polkadot
• Ethereum development tools support (MetaMask, Remix and Truffle)
• Built-in integrations (DOT and ERC-20) and infrastructure services (Chainlink and TheGraph)

 

"Platforms that make it easier for developers to work on different blockchain networks are the foundation of the future of Polkadot and the success of decentralized technologies in general" - Head of Development, Web3 Foundation

 

Support Moonbeam large funds and many integrations with existing systems:

• $ 1.4M from Hypersphere, Arrington XRP, Hashkey, KR1, Du Capital and Bitcoin.com
• $ 6M from Binance Labs, ParaFi, Coinbase Ventures, Fenbushi Capital, IOSG Ventures

 

 

Moonriver 

 

Moonriver is a subsidiary of the Moonbeam network, also has full compatibility with Ethereum, all available tools to help developers. Prior to Moonbeam launching Polkadot, the Moonriver testnet will launch on Kusama and provide earlier opportunities for developers to create, experiment, and run various decentralized applications. Moonriver will also have a fully developed robust ecosystem for DeFi, NFT, and other decentralized projects that make heavy use of the network

 

River Token and Glimmer (GLMR) Token:

 

• Gas metering support in the implementation of smart contracts
• Stimulating collators and using mechanisms for creating a decentralized infrastructure of nodes
• Facilitating online governance, including proposing referendums, electing councilors, voting
• Payment of commissions for transactions on the network

🔥🔥🔥Great news!🔥🔥🔥

 

 

Moonbeam & myNFT team up to provide Moonbeam & Moonriver users with a bridge to access NFTs created on Ethereum. Additionally, creators will have the ability to bring their Ethereum-based NFT projects to Moonbeam, Polkadot & Kusama. myNFT bridge on Moonbeam & Moonriver will be the first of its kind for transferring NFT assets from Ethereum to Polkadot and the first one built on Moonbeam.
 
Moonbeam was a perfect fit for myNFT to pursue a multi-chain strategy because of:

• its shared development environment
• its unified address format
• many NFT projects have started to congregate on Moonriver in the continued face of limitations on Ethereum.

Moonbeam’s Ethereum-compatible capabilities allow for a quick and stress-free implementation.

Great news! Moonbeam & Covalent_HQ is joining forces to provide affordable, reliable, high quality data, and to improve the developer experience on MoonriverNW & Kusama!

The Covalent_HQ & Moonbeam integration allows developers to get indexed data from the MoonriverNW blockchain. This is important for devs who require high performance when building their multichain applications.

At the moment, integration with Covalent_HQ supports MoonriverNW & Moonbase Alpha (TestNet) networks, and in the near future, Moonbeam on Polkadot

Moonbeam was great for Covalent_HQ for the following reasons:

• Unmatched Ethereum Compatibility
• Minimal deployment changes
• No need to learn Substrate for deployment
• Great team & community!

Thrilled to share that the Moonbeam and KYVE teams collaborate to bring permanent data availability to Moonbeam and Moonriver!  This integration will allow Moonbeam's fast-growing community of devs to easily store their data permanently, enabling higher scalability.  

KYVE's decentralized archival framework standardizes, validates, and permanently stores any generated data stream. 

Through this integration, the KYVE team will now be able to access Moonbeam's ecosystem of 70+ projects building on it & a broad community of devs! Moonbeam was a natural fit for the KYVE team to deliver the scalability and market potential they needed. KYVE recently changed its architecture and migrated from SmartWeave to Moonbeam to utilize Moonbeam's EVM capabilities.

Yes - there have been a lot of new partnerships lately, both moonbeam and moonriver. Thanks for the help in filling the topic. It will be better if as many users as possible pay attention to this project.

I completely agree with you. Moonbeam is a very promising project with which more and more companies are cooperating.
This project is aimed at first-class success.
It's a pity that many have not heard about it yet, but I think this situation will improve over time.

Today many of the members of the moonbeam community have received pre-registration emails for Moonbeam Crowdloan. Here's how the email describes the process: The Moonbeam Crowdloan Pre-Registration Process is a way for individuals who intend to participate in a Crowdloan to register their DOT address and complete the Moonbeam Crowdloan Terms and Conditions in advance of the official opening of the Crowdloan.

Personally, I'm going to throw some DOT here and also in Acala

A very important event in the Moonbeam project. Now the project is getting closer to its release. 
By the way, this is a great opportunity to get GLMR tokens for those who could not participate in the public sale.

I will say even more - I want to bribe some of the crowdloan coins even considering the fact that I got to the sale for early community members. And I recommend everyone to also participate in this event.

I agree with you, this is a great chance to get into such an excellent project as Moonbeam. 
Well, those who do not want to enter will buy tokens already on the market, at the end of this year or the beginning of next.

Friends - back in the spring I wrote about Moonbeam - then no one really knew what kind of project it was and very few people listened to my advice and tried to become an ambassador of this project and did not regret it. Now Moonbeam has made a lot of noise and rewarded ambassadors with at least allocation and the opportunity to learn about this interesting project earlier, which already has many partnerships (in a separate post). Crowdloan polkadot will start soon (more details will be given in a separate article) and Moonbeam will fight for the slot

 

Moonbeam currently continues to seek out Polkadot and Moonbeam enthusiasts to become part of the community. Community members can join the ambassador program and have direct contact with the Moonbeam team. How to join see here - https://moonbeam.network/community/ambassadors/

 

First, you will need to fill out a feedback form and send it to the team for review. Just keep in mind that you will need to record a short video in English, upload it, for example, to YouTube, and insert the link to the video into the form. It is not necessary to speak fluent English - this is not the most important thing, but the main thing is your desire to move on. If everything goes well and your application suits the team, you will receive a letter with further instructions by email

 

Of course, now it is no longer enough to make ordinary memes or retweets to complete the assignments of ambassadors. At first, you will be students, but when you become ambassadors you can only complete 2 tasks per month, but I advise you to be as active as possible. Here you can see the current list of tasks that can be done by ambassadors - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d6pXBzUaJQ0wkvniqk_6MEVpVDGLcOEy56pDWz4EZqM/edit#gid=952595352
