What is Moonriver?

Moonriver is a smart contract platform that allows developers to deploy their Ethereum dapps in a substrate environment with minimal friction. As a decentralized smart contract platform, Moonriver requires the MOVR token to function.

Since Moonriver is compatible with Ethereum, users can connect Moonriver to MetaMask, an Ethereum-based crypto wallet.
