Launched on January 11, 2022, Moonbeam is a fully decentralized, Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform built as a parachain on the Polkadot network. GLMR is Moonbeam's native ERC-20 token.
The Moonbeam foundation, which powers Moonbeam and its sister network, Moonriver, hosted a crowdloan campaign in November 2021 to secure DOT tokens to book a parachain slot on Polkadot. Moonbeam received over 35 million DOT in that campaign. Following that, Moonbeam became the first-ever fully functional parachain on Polkadot, with over 80 projects ready to be deployed.
Moonbeam allows developers to build within a scalable Layer 1 chain at faster speeds and lower costs. It provides developers with an ecosystem similar to Ethereum regarding accounts, security systems, subscriptions, and decentralized applications (DApp) front-ends. Development tools mirror existing tools in the Ethereum ecosystem, such as Waffle, Hardhat, Truffle, MetaMask, and Remix. Moreover, any Ethereum project or Solidity smart contract can be replicated and deployed on Moonbeam without much rewriting or reconfiguration.
The Glimmer token supports several functions in the Moonbeam ecosystem. Examples include financing smart contract executions, incentivizing collators and participants who power the mechanics of the core node infrastructure, and supporting gas fee payments on the network.
Moonbeam aims to maintain the same level of decentralization as its relay chain, Polkadot. To do so, it has adopted a fully decentralized mode of governance, complete with rights to propose changes, an established voting system, and councils and committees with varying roles.
GLMR price and tokenomics
GLMR has a total token supply of 1 billion, subject to a 5% annual inflation rate. Among the allocation, 15% is designated for Moonbeam crowdloan contributors, approximately 30% for seed, strategic, and parachain bond funds, while the rest is reserved for ecosystem development, liquidity programs, and the team.
To address inflation, Moonbeam allocates additional tokens for security needs, with 2.5% going to collators and parachain rent and another 2.5% for staking rewards. Furthermore, Moonbeam burns 80% of transaction and smart contract execution fees accumulated on the network. Ultimately, the price of GLMR is influenced by developer interest in the main protocol, Polkadot.
About the founders
Moonbeam and its sister network, Moonriver, are built by PureStake and financially backed by the Moonbeam Foundation. Derek Yoo, an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania, is the founder and CEO of these networks. Stefan Mehlhorn, the COO of both networks, has also founded two companies, Collego and Permessa. Alan Sapede, who has prior experience at companies like Google, Fuze, and Live Minutes, handles blockchain engineering. All three team members have worked in the same roles for Pure Stake.

What is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrencies, such as Moonbeam, are digital assets that operate on a public ledger called blockchains. Learn more about coins and tokens offered on OKX and their different attributes, which includes live prices and real-time charts.
When was cryptocurrency invented?
Thanks to the 2008 financial crisis, interest in decentralized finance boomed. Bitcoin offered a novel solution by being a secure digital asset on a decentralized network. Since then, many other tokens such as Moonbeam have been created as well.

Consensus Mechanism
Moonbeam employs a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism combined with the Polkadot relay chain for enhanced scalability, finality, and security. It utilizes collators and validators, with finality provided by the GRANDPA finality gadget, ensuring deterministic block finality. Key Features of Moonbeam's Consensus Mechanism: 1. Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS): Collators and Validators: In Moonbeam’s DPoS system, collators maintain the parachain by collecting transactions from users and producing state transition proofs. The collator set is chosen based on the stake they have, including delegated stake. Delegation: Token holders can delegate their stake to collator candidates. The top collator candidates, including those with delegated stake, join the active set. Collators in the active set are randomly selected to produce blocks. Stakes and Block Production: Once a collator is in the active set, their total stake does not impact their chance of being selected to produce blocks. 2. Polkadot Relay Chain Integration: Moonbeam is built as a parachain on Polkadot, which provides shared security, scalability, and consensus. The relay chain validators ensure that Moonbeam’s blocks are validated and secured. 3. GRANDPA Finality: Deterministic Finality: Moonbeam relies on Polkadot’s GRANDPA finality gadget, which provides fast and deterministic finality for transactions. When a block is finalized, it cannot be reverted except through on-chain governance or forking. Parallel Finality: The finality process in Moonbeam occurs simultaneously with block production, unlike Ethereum, which has slower finality. GRANDPA allows for the quick confirmation of blocks, often within a single block on Moonbeam. 4. Block Production: Blocks are produced by collators who are selected based on their stake and delegated stake, contributing to the network’s decentralized nature.
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
Moonbeam incentivizes participation through staking rewards for collators and token holders, alongside transaction fees. Here's an overview of the incentive mechanism and applicable fees: Incentive Mechanism: 1. Collator Rewards: Block Rewards: Collators are rewarded with newly minted tokens for successfully producing and validating blocks. These rewards are distributed proportionally to the collators in the active set. Transaction Fees: Collators also earn transaction fees from the transactions included in the blocks they produce. These fees are paid by users to prioritize their transactions. 2. Delegation Rewards: Delegated Stake: Token holders can delegate their stake to collator candidates. By doing so, they share in the rewards earned by the collators to whom they delegate their tokens. This incentivizes the broader community to participate in governance and block production. Voting Power: Token holders who delegate their stake to collators help secure the network and participate in the selection of active collators. 3. Governance Participation: Voting on Network Proposals: Moonbeam uses its native tokens to allow participants to vote on governance proposals, helping to influence the future direction of the network and incentivizing active involvement in network management. Applicable Fees: 1. Transaction Fees: Fee Calculation: Transaction fees on Moonbeam are determined based on the complexity and size of the transaction. Users pay these fees in the native token (GLMR), which are distributed to the collators. Fee Distribution: The fees are split between collators, incentivizing them to process transactions efficiently. The amount of transaction fees can vary depending on network congestion and the size of the transaction. 2. Staking Fees: Collator Staking: Collators must stake a certain amount of tokens to be eligible for block production. They are incentivized with staking rewards and transaction fees for ensuring the network’s security and functionality. 3. Governance Fees: Voting Fees: Users may need to pay small fees to participate in governance, such as proposing changes or voting on proposals. These fees ensure governance is utilized effectively and prevents spam on the network.

Energy consumption sources and methodologies
For the calculation of energy consumptions, the so called “bottom-up” approach is being used. The nodes are considered to be the central factor for the energy consumption of the network. These assumptions are made on the basis of empirical findings through the use of public information sites, open-source crawlers and crawlers developed in-house. The main determinants for estimating the hardware used within the network are the requirements for operating the client software. The energy consumption of the hardware devices was measured in certified test laboratories. Due to the structure of this network, it is not only the mainnet that is responsible for energy consumption. In order to calculate the structure adequately, a proportion of the energy consumption of the connected network, polkadot, must also be taken into account, because the connected network is also responsible for security. This proportion is determined on the basis of gas consumption. When calculating the energy consumption, we used - if available - the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) to determine all implementations of the asset of question in scope and we update the mappings regulary, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation.
