Moonriver as Moonbeam’s Canary Network
Footprint Analytics:
Moonriver is the canary network of Moonbeam developed by the PureStake team. Moonbeam hopes to build an EVM-compatible smart contract platform that will allow developers to better deploy smart contracts and DApp front-end offices on Ethereum to the Polkadot ecosystem at minimal cost while also connecting to other chains on Polkadot.
Moonriver is connected to Kusama’s relay chain, and Moonbeam is connected to Polkadot’s chain. The relationship between Moonriver and Moonbeam is similar to that between Acala and Karura. In the Polkadot ecosystem, Kusama is a canary network for Polkadot, designed to test the network as close as possible to the real environment of Polkadot to ensure the security of the network.
Projects that want to go live on Moonbeam need to be tested and verified in its permanent test environment Moonriver before their developers can deploy them on Moonbeam,
