Discover the Moonbeam ecosystem, featuring the Moonbeam and Moonriver smart contract parachains. Build natively interoperable applications on Polkadot and Kusama with standard Ethereum tools.
The Moonbeam RPC documentation provides developers with essential endpoints to interact programmatically with the Moonbeam ecosystem, including Moonbeam (Polkadot), Moonriver (Kusama), and Moonbase Alpha (Testnet). As fully Ethereum-compatible parachains, these networks allow developers to deploy existing Solidity smart contracts and DApp frontends with minimal changes. Beyond basic EVM compatibility, they offer native cross-chain interoperability (XCM) and on-chain governance. The documentation includes API endpoints for querying blockchain data, executing smart contracts, and managing transactions using standard tools like MetaMask, Hardhat, and Remix.
