About Moonriver
Moonriver (MOVR) is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract parachain on Kusama, serving as the canary (testing) network for Moonbeam on Polkadot. Full EVM compatibility means all Ethereum tools (MetaMask, Hardhat, Truffle, Remix) work with zero modification. Moonriver has its own DeFi ecosystem with protocols that often launch there first before Moonbeam. MOVR is used for gas fees, governance, and staking. As a Kusama parachain, Moonriver benefits from Kusama's shared security while enabling Ethereum developers to tap into Polkadot's cross-chain ecosystem via XCM.
