Moonbeam
Moonbeam (GLMR) is the token for a platform that makes it easy to run Ethereum-style apps on the Polkadot blockchain. Launched in 2022, Moonbeam acts as a bridge between the two networks. GLMR is used to pay fees, reward network operators, and let holders vote on upgrades.

Technology & Use Case
Moonbeam is a blockchain on Polkadot that works like Ethereum, so developers can use the same tools they already know. It also connects with other blockchains, letting apps share data and tokens across networks. GLMR is the token that pays for transactions, runs smart contracts, and allows voting on changes.
Origins & Team
Moonbeam was created by the company PureStake, led by Derek Yoo. The project started in 2020, received support from the Web3 Foundation, and launched on Polkadot in January 2022 after a successful community fundraising campaign.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
Moonbeam supports DeFi, NFTs, and apps that work across multiple blockchains. It connects with other networks like Ethereum, Avalanche, and Polygon so tokens and data can move easily between them. Part of the fees are burned to reduce supply, while the rest fund the community treasury. New tokens are also created each year to reward network operators.
