Just as was the case in June, we have been primarily focused on implementation in the month of July. Web3 Foundation Grant Award Earlier this week, we announced that the Web3 Foundation had approved our work on a Web3-compatible RPC library and awarded us a grant. This RPC implementation is what allows developers to run […]
User experience (UX) in crypto products is generally poor for a simple reason: there simply isn’t that much investment going into it. Investment goes mostly into cryptography and technical research and backend engineering. Even front ends for blockchain based applications are often “just enough to get the job done.” I start with this observation because […]

The month of June was implementation-focused for the Moonbeam project. There was a lot of activity in the Parity Frontier repo — including some contributions from the Moonbeam team — on the implementation of the Web3 RPC endpoints. This is a necessary component to enable Moonbeam’s Ethereum compatibility features. We will be working on wrapping […]
Why isn’t broader crypto mass adoption happening? At some point, everyone working in the crypto space has asked themselves why mass adoption hasn’t happened. Some common assumptions for why this is the case are that the technology is not mature enough, that it isn’t scalable enough, and that the dev tools are so much worse […]

In the past few months, we’ve received a number of questions about our relationship with Ethereum. I’d like to clarify something: Moonbeam is designed to complement and extend existing Ethereum-based deployments, not to compete with Ethereum. In a multi-chain future, Ethereum will continue to occupy a central position, particularly around DeFi and related use cases. […]
