Moonriver

MOVR is the utility token of the Moonriver network and is central to its design. The MOVR token serves several key functions, including: Supporting the gas metering of smart contract execution Incentivizing collators (nodes that produce blocks on the network) Powering the mechanics of the decentralized node infrastructure Facilitating the on-chain governance mechanism (e.g., proposing referenda, electing council members, voting) Paying for network transaction fees The Moonriver network has a capped total supply of 10 million MOVR tokens and a yearly inflation rate of 5%, designed to ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of the ecosystem.

Moonriver offers a wide array of tools and integrations to support developers, including: Ethereum developer tools such as Metamask, Remix IDE, web3.js, Ethers.js, Truffle, and other toolkits Oracle integrations like Chainlink, Band Protocol, Razor, and DIA Protocol API and infrastructure integrations with providers like Onfinality and Covalent Wallet support for Mathwallet, Polkadot.js, Metamask, and AirGap Partnerships with other Polkadot chains, including Acala, Equilibrium, Kilt, and Phala Bridges to connect Moonriver with various networks, such as Chainbridge, Ren, Interlay, Snowfork, and Axelar Block explorers like Subscan, Polkadot.js, and Blockscout Integrations with DeFi protocols, such as Balancer, SushiSwap, Offshift, IDEX, Linear Finance, and Injective Protocol Partnerships with asset and issuance platforms, including Ocean Protocol, AllianceBlock, AMPnet, Poolz, Polkastarter, and Kilt DApps and applications, including Human Protocol, Polkacover, and BeProto

Moonriver's security architecture is multi-layered, drawing strength from its connection to the Kusama network. As a parachain on Kusama, Moonriver benefits from the robust security and network stability provided by the Kusama platform, which is designed for high-risk functionality and early-stage code deployment. Additionally, Moonriver employs a permanently incentivized canary network model, where new code is first deployed and tested on Moonriver before being implemented on Moonbeam in the Polkadot ecosystem. This allows for thorough testing and verification under real economic conditions, enhancing the overall security and resilience of the network. The network also utilizes a decentralized node infrastructure, where collators (nodes that produce blocks) are incentivized to maintain the network's integrity and security. This decentralized approach helps to mitigate single points of failure and ensures the network's resilience against potential attacks or disruptions.
