Moonbeam is no longer the network most third party descriptions still describe. From January 2022 until mid 2026 it was an Ethereum compatible smart contract parachain on Polkadot, with GLMR as its gas and staking token. In 2026 the project wound that chain down, migrated GLMR one for one to an ERC-20 token on Base, and relaunched under the name Moonbeam Protocol as a settlement network for autonomous software agents.
The wind down can be verified directly rather than taken on trust. On 2026-09-11, three independent Moonbeam RPC endpoints all returned the same latest block, number 16,796,699, with a timestamp of 2026-08-10T11:36:12Z. The chain id still answers 0x504, which is 1284, and the client still identifies itself as a Moonbeam node, but it has not produced a block since 2026-08-10. The Kusama sibling network, Moonriver, stopped the same day, with its final block timestamped 2026-08-10T08:27:48Z. Any description that calls either parachain live is stale.
Official sources:
Moonbeam was developed by PureStake, the company led by Derek Yoo, and is stewarded by the Moonbeam Foundation. It won the second Polkadot parachain slot auction through a crowdloan, taking a 96 week lease that began on December 17, 2021, and completed its phased launch on January 11, 2022. Genesis issuance was 1,000,000,000 GLMR with an annual inflation rate of about 5 percent, which meant the supply was never capped.
The turning point came on July 3, 2026, when the project announced that the network would relaunch on Base. Holders were told to bridge through the official migrator, one for one, by July 31, 2026, and a parallel announcement on July 7, 2026 covered the same move for Moonriver's MOVR. User transactions stopped at the end of July, the chain ran on in maintenance mode, and block production ended on August 10, 2026. Holders who missed the window were directed to a foundation helpdesk email rather than an automated process.
The parachain era and the current era work in completely different ways, and mixing them is the most common error in descriptions of this asset.
The parachain design, now retired Moonbeam ran a full Ethereum Virtual Machine on a Substrate chain, offering Ethereum style accounts, Solidity contracts and Ethereum JSON-RPC while borrowing shared security from Polkadot's relay chain. Collators produced blocks, Polkadot validators finalized them, and precompiles exposed Substrate features such as staking and governance to Solidity developers.
The current design on Base GLMR is now an ordinary ERC-20 token on Base, an Ethereum Layer 2. It carries no consensus role, no gas role and no staking role on Base. Security for the token is Base security, which in turn inherits from Ethereum.
Moonbeam Protocol, the new product The project describes an agent commerce network where autonomous agents discover each other, agree terms, and settle payments onchain, built around provider bonds, escrowed payment, and an evaluator that decides whether work was delivered. Its published argument, from September 2026, is that a slashed bond should compensate the harmed buyer up to adjudicated damages rather than be burned.
As of September 2026 the project's own site labels this Pre-launch on Base. An SDK and an observatory are described as testable, while the escrow and assurance contracts are not yet deployed. Treat the agent settlement network as an announced design, not a working system.
Under the parachain, GLMR paid gas, bonded to collators, and voted in onchain governance. None of those functions exist today.
On Base, GLMR is a transferable ERC-20 and nothing more until the new protocol ships. Reading the contract bytecode on 2026-09-11 settles what it can and cannot do. It implements ERC-2612 permit signatures, so approvals can be gasless, and it contains no mint function, no burn function, no owner, no pause and no upgrade path. Supply was therefore fixed at deployment and no administrator can change it or freeze a balance. The onchain total read on that date sat slightly below the figure the parachain carried, consistent with a portion of GLMR never having been bridged before the deadline.
The project states that GLMR's intended future role, once assurance opens, is to stand behind guaranteed agent work and earn a share of the premiums buyers pay for that guarantee. That is an intention, not a shipped mechanism.
Astar and Acala were Moonbeam's closest peers inside Polkadot, targeting general smart contracts and DeFi respectively. Moonriver ran the same codebase on Kusama and shared Moonbeam's fate. The sharpest difference today is category: Moonbeam's peers remain chains, while GLMR is now a token on another chain whose protocol has yet to launch.
The parachain use cases, deploying Solidity contracts, paying gas in GLMR and staking to collators, no longer apply.
Token security now comes from Base and, through it, from Ethereum. The contract adds no administrative surface of its own: with no owner, no minter and no upgrade proxy, there is no privileged key that can inflate supply, pause transfers or replace the logic. That property is unusual enough to be worth confirming yourself on a block explorer. Security of the promised assurance network cannot be assessed yet, because the contracts that would carry it are not deployed.
Moonbeam matters first as one of the most complete attempts to bring the Ethereum developer experience into Polkadot, and second as a rare, well documented example of a chain shutting itself down on purpose and relocating its token. Whatever happens to the agent settlement plan, the migration is a useful case study in how a network and its integrations handle an orderly wind down, and in how long stale descriptions of a dead chain keep circulating afterward.
GLMR trades on centralized exchanges and on Base decentralized exchanges. Before withdrawing from any venue, confirm that the withdrawal network is Base and that the contract address matches the official ERC-20.
GLMR has been listed on venues including:
Handling of the migrated token varied by venue, and several performed the swap for their users. Check each venue's own notice.
Older guidance recommending Polkadot ecosystem wallets no longer applies to GLMR.
