About Moonriver

Moonriver (MOVR) is a fully Ethereum-compatible smart contract parachain deployed on the Kusama network. It provides a complete EVM implementation, Web3-compatible APIs, and bridges to existing Ethereum networks, allowing developers to deploy Solidity and Vyper smart contracts with minimal modifications. Moonriver serves as a canary network for Moonbeam on Polkadot, meaning new code ships here first to be tested under real economic conditions before migrating to Moonbeam. This companion relationship makes Moonriver a live testing ground while remaining a fully functional blockchain hosting dozens of active DeFi and Web3 projects.
