Moonriver $MOVR is the native cryptocurrency of the Moonriver network, an Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform built on the Kusama ecosystem. It serves as the "canary network" for Moonbeam, where new features are tested under real economic conditions before being deployed to Moonbeam on Polkadot. MOVR is used to pay transaction fees, execute smart contracts, participate in on-chain governance, and incentivize network validators.
