Moonbeam is a smart contract blockchain that runs as a parachain on Polkadot. It is built to be compatible with Ethereum, so developers can deploy Solidity contracts and use familiar tools such as common wallets. Block production is handled by collators on Moonbeam, while the Polkadot relay chain provides shared security and finality. It also aims to link apps and assets across multiple networks.
The native token is GLMR. It pays for transaction fees and is used for staking and governance. Staking lets holders support the network and earn rewards, though terms can change, so check current rules before committing funds. Our data lists Moonbeam's DeFi TVL as about $0 at the time of writing, which is likely an incomplete reading, so do not rely on that figure alone.
The Moonbeam ecosystem is known mainly for lending and cross-chain infrastructure. Moonwell offers lending and borrowing here and on Base and Optimism, while ParaSpace Lending V1 covers borrowing against NFTs. Bridges have played a large role, with Nomad and Meter Passport both listed, and both carry a history of security incidents. Multichain names such as Lido, LayerZero V2, SushiSwap, Gamma and Polkamarkets also appear in the 47 dApps we list for this chain.

Frequently asked questions
What is Moonbeam?
Moonbeam is a smart contract blockchain that runs as a parachain on Polkadot and is compatible with Ethereum tooling. Developers can deploy Solidity contracts and use familiar wallets, while the chain connects to other networks through cross-chain messaging and bridges.
What is the GLMR token used for?
GLMR is Moonbeam's native token. It is used to pay transaction fees and to take part in network staking and governance. Check the current staking terms in your wallet or the official docs, as rates and rules can change.
Is Moonbeam compatible with Ethereum?
Yes, Moonbeam is EVM-compatible. Contracts written for Ethereum generally work with little change, and common wallets can connect by adding the network. Always confirm the network details from an official source before adding them.
Which dApps are popular on Moonbeam?
Moonwell is the lending protocol most closely tied to Moonbeam, and it also runs on Base and Optimism. Other apps on the list, such as Lido, LayerZero V2, SushiSwap and Gamma, are multichain and only partly based on Moonbeam. Check each app's own page for what it supports here.
Are bridges on Moonbeam safe to use?
Not necessarily. Moonbeam has had notable incidents, including the Nomad bridge exploit of roughly $200M in August 2022, and Meter Passport reports paused transfers after a hack. Bridges carry extra risk, so read each dApp's page, start with small amounts and use only audited, active services.
How much value is locked on Moonbeam?
Our data shows about $0 of DeFi TVL for Moonbeam at the time of writing, which looks incomplete. Many listed apps are multichain, and their TVL figures cover all networks combined rather than Moonbeam alone. Treat chain-level numbers with caution and look at each dApp's own details.
Is it legal to use prediction markets like Polkamarkets?
Polkamarkets is a prediction market protocol that lets users trade on real-world event outcomes. Prediction markets may count as gambling in some places, so you must be 18+ (21+ where required) and check that they are legal where you live. Do not try to get around age checks, KYC or location restrictions.
What is the largest dApp on Moonbeam by TVL?
Lido is the largest dApp on Moonbeam by total value locked, with $21.8B across all the chains it supports. It is followed by LayerZero V2 ($17.9B) and Gate ($5.91B). TVL figures come from DefiLlama and change daily.
Which dApp on Moonbeam has the highest DappsAtlas score?
