The launch of the Moonsama Network as a parachain in Polkadot is just around the corner. It will mark yet another milestone in Moonsama’s multichain journey, whose mission is best summarized by the following two principles:

  • Providing easy access to Moonsama’s products and technology: ensuring we do not build a siloed ecosystem and introducing whole new communities to Moonsama.
  • Placing each component of Moonsama’s technology stack where it can achieve peak performance: as Moonsama keeps developing a wide array of solutions (infrastructure, utility services, games, etc.) it is vital to identify which network is best suited to host each of them to perform at the highest possible level.

With these two principles at heart, Moonsama is hereby announcing the redeployment of its infrastructure token, Moonsama (SAMA), natively on the Ethereum mainnet.

This move, which was first submitted to an open vote where the Moonsama Community expressed its support, aims to establish Moonsama within two of the strongest ecosystems in the Web3 space (Ethereum and Polkadot), unlocking new heights in terms of growth potential.

Coupling the launch of Moonsama Network on Polkadot with the redeployment of SAMA on the Ethereum ecosystem will allow us to place these tools within the reach of the teams and communities that can draw value from them, today.

SAMA’s origins date back to 2021 and the launch of Carnage, the first game that leveraged the Moonsama tech stack. Carnage cultivated a Play-to-craft economy where players competed to collect resources (ERC-20) to craft items (ERC-1155) and unlock additional features. These value-generation cycles culminated with the minting of SAMA, the utility token that has underpinned the Moonsama ecosystem ever since. SAMA is also of paramount importance for those builders seeking to use Moonsama products and services.

SAMA holders can now use the SAMA Router to participate in the re-minting event and move their funds to the Ethereum mainnet.

In the near future Moonsama will enable the bridging of SAMA between Ethereum mainnet and Moonsama Network, where it’ll function as the native token.
