🌕 GM Moonbeam Community! 🌕
We're excited to announce the successful implementation of asynchronous backing on the Moonbeam Network, resulting in our block times being reduced to an impressive :six: seconds!
Here's what this means for you:
➡️ Faster Block Times on Moonbeam Network
This upgrade significantly boosts Moonbeam’s throughput capacity, allowing the network to handle even more on-chain activity, ensuring a smoother and more efficient experience for all users and developers.
The reduction in block time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds means more transactions can be processed in a shorter amount of time, making our network more robust and capable of handling higher traffic volumes.
➡️New Opportunities
This improved responsiveness unlocks new use cases that require faster confirmation times, such as payments and trading. Developers can now create applications needing rapid transaction finality, opening the door for innovative decentralized applications (dApps) that were previously limited by longer block times.
✨ Key Highlights ✨
• 6-Second Block Times: Transactions are confirmed faster, enhancing the user experience.
• Increased Capacity: More robust network = better prepared for higher traffic volumes.
📢 Moonbeam Community Announcement 📢
Electric Capital just released their mid-year refresh report, and the news is fantastic for Moonbeam! 🌕
The Crypto market map tracks over 1,500 projects within 6 tech layers and over 130 categories. The report represents a comprehensive visualization for the community to keep up with the ever expanding crypto ecosystem.
Moonbeam has made impressive progress, especially compared to other blockchain developer ecosystems. While many other chains saw declines, our developer growth was a positive +11%. 💪
Moonbeam is thriving in terms of developer activity, underscoring our significant growth in the blockchain ecosystem. Let's continue this momentum for 2024! 🌕 🚀

Your ultimate transactional tool!
Today (June 24, 2024) at approximately 17:00 UTC, staking and collator rewards were incorrectly calculated for a single round (1,200 blocks), and an excess of MOVR was distributed.
The issue resolved itself in the next round, reward distribution returned to normal, and no further distribution issues are anticipated.
What happened?
The issue relates to the enabling of Asynchronous Backing on Moonriver in RT3000, which occurred earlier today (at approximately 13:11 UTC).
🔽 The Moonriver technical team is conducting further analysis and will share more details of this incident in the coming days.
🔽 The RT3000 upgrade for Moonbeam will be canceled and replaced with RT3001 to avoid this issue occurring on Moonbeam.
Although unfortunate, bugs do happen, and this incident demonstrates Moonriver's value as Moonbeam's incentivized canary network.
