Moonbeam is a smart contract platform that provides an Ethereum-compatible environment for building decentralized applications. Moonbeam was designed to serve these new kinds of assets and users that exist across two or more chains and will be the main smart contract platform of the Polkadot universe.

The Moonbeam project is one of the most ambitious and needed projects in an ecosystem like Polkadots. Its younger brother Moonriver won the second parachain slot on Kusama and is the project that gave the highest returns on that ecosystem to date.

In short, Moonbeam is a smart contract blockchain where developers can create their own applications and that is also EVM compatible, acting as a bridge between Ethereum based applications and the Polkadot blockchain.

Moonriver and Moonbeam have already built associations with a ton of succesful projects such as Chainlink, Orion Protocol, Biconomy, Sushiswap, or The Graph, and from my point of view is a fundamental piece in the decentraliced Web 3.0 of the future.
