Moonbeam Network : @MoonbeamNetwork

An Ethereum compatible smart contract platform on Polkadot, an easiest way to build interoperable and re-deploy (existing) powerful applications.

Moonbeam is at the forefront of the Blockchain evolution

Why?

Here's the thread (1/10)
1/Main Goal:

To tackle cross-chain interoperability challenges by providing a simpler way to deploy apps to Polkadot, using a smart contract & Eth-compatible approach

Facilitate & accelerate the Polkadot ecosystem’s adoption by becoming a robust platform.
2/Team

@derekyoo is a founder, also CEO at Pure Stake

Pure Stake is behind the Moonbeam Network.

The team has a solid experience of 20 years in building infrastructure and networks. They've got brilliant team (20+ members) of Engineers, Devs, Researchers etc.
3/Moonbeam will provide compatibility with the existing Ethereum developer toolchain & network. It does this by providing a full EVM implementation, a Web3-compatible API, and bridges that connect Moonbeam to existing Ethereum networks.
4/This allows developers to deploy existing Solidity smart contracts and DAPPs to Moonbeam with minimal changes

It'll also be a parachain on the $Dot network. It will get shared security from the Polkadot relay chain & will be able to integrate with other chains.

Fascinating!
5/Features

A) Minimal Configuration Changes
No need to rewrite or reconfigure your smart contracts. They'll work right away.

B) Familiar Smart Contract Languages
Support for Solidity, Vyper, and anything that compiles to EVM bytecode.
6/

C) Tools You Already Use
Ethereum-based tools like MetaMask, Remix, Hardhat, and Truffle.

D) Pre-Built Integrations
Built-in integrations for assets like DOT and ERC-20s, and infrastructure services like Chainlink and TheGraph.
7/The interoperable Polkadot ecosystem will enable Dapps on Moonbeam to utilize other parachains’ decentralized finance (DeFi) tools, such as Acala’s aUSD stablecoin, Chainlink’s oracles, Polkaswap’s DEX and
much more.
8/Partnerships

I think this image is enough

One of the strongest partnership Network you'll ever see in this sector.

FYI-Binance Labs recently led a $6 million “strategic” round of the Moonbeam smart contract platform

They've got grant from Web3 as well.
9/Tokens

There are two

A) Glimmer Token
In the Moonbeam deployment on Polkadot. This token will be called Glimmer. The token symbol will be GLMR.

B) River Token
In the Moonbeam deployment on Kusama. This token will be called River. The token symbol will be RIVER.

Utilities-
10/Availability:

KSM Crowdloan (River token): In Q2 2021
Public sale (Glimmer token): in Q2-Q4 2021

Timing depends on Parity enabling parachain functionality on Kusama and Polkadot.

Keep an eye on their official Twitter, telegram announcement channel etc.
