Moonriver is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract parachain on Kusama. Known for its Ethereum-like design and developer-friendly approach, Moonriver offers a comprehensive environment for projects to build on. This is achieved through a full EVM implementation, a Web3-compatible API, and bridges that connect Moonriver to existing Ethereum networks, enabling developers to deploy existing Solidity/Vyper smart contracts and DApp frontends with minimal changes.
Moonriver and Its Companion Network
Moonriver is designed to be a companion network to Moonbeam on Polkadot. It acts as a permanently incentivized canary network where new code is first introduced. This allows for thorough testing and verification under real economic conditions before the same code is rolled out on Moonbeam on Polkadot.
Attraction for Developers
Due to its Ethereum-like structure and user-friendly approach, Moonriver has become a hub for many projects. It simplifies transitions for developers familiar with Ethereum's infrastructure, thereby attracting a substantial number of projects seeking to leverage its features.
Real Economic Conditions Testing
The innovative approach of deploying new code to Moonriver first brings numerous benefits. Developers can test and verify their projects under real economic conditions, ensuring robustness and reliability before implementing them on larger scales such as on Moonbeam on Polkadot.
