Binance discontinues Moonriver and Moonbeam mainnet support while adding Base Network deposits and withdrawals for both tokens.
Tech & Launches ·
Binance announced it will discontinue mainnet support for Moonriver (MOVR) and Moonbeam (GLMR) while simultaneously enabling deposits and withdrawals of both tokens via Base Network. The shift reflects changing infrastructure priorities across the exchange's supported blockchain networks.
The move consolidates Binance's token bridges away from the original Moonriver and Moonbeam mainnets toward Base Network, a Layer 2 solution. This reduces the number of distinct blockchain entry points users must navigate for these assets while potentially simplifying Binance's operational footprint across multiple chains.
No timeline for the mainnet discontinuation was specified in the announcement. The extent to which users currently hold MOVR and GLMR on the affected mainnets, and how Binance will manage the transition period, remained unclear from the available details.
