What is Solarbeam?

Solarbeam is a decentralized exchange, providing liquidity and enabling peer-to-peer transactions on the Moonriver and Moonbeam Networks.

Goal: to provide a comprehensive and convenient, one-stop platform for the cryptocurrency community

Benefits:

1.Solarbeam allows users to trade directly from their wallets (not through a third party) — tokens never leaving your custody (100% owned by you).

2.Lower trading fees.

3.Higher liquidity helps provide a broad range of support to various facets, and to continuously adapt to the market.

Integration

Solarflare.io is now live on Moonbeam Network and has come under the umbrella of Solarbeam Foundation.

The fundamental goal of the Solarbeam Foundation — to support the Dotsama ecosystem and its parachains.

Solarbeam’s launch on Moonbeam brings a variety of different features including, an AMM, yield farming, single staking, and bridges.

How to use this integration?

Before you get started

Moonriver network requires $MOVR token in order to do transactions on the network.

STEP 1. Configuring Wallet in MetaMask

STEP 2. Adding Moonriver Network

After you’ve opened the Network tab, scroll down and click “Custom RPC”.

STEP 3. Fill in the details

Fill in the details with the Moonriver Network Settings and click „save”.

You can manually configure your wallet, by adding Moonriver network with the following settings:

Network Name: MOVR — Mainnet

New RPC URL: https://rpc.moonriver.moonbeam.network

Chain ID (optional): 1285

Symbol (optional): MOVR

Block Explorer URL: https://blockscout.moonriver.moonbeam.network

How to swap tokens

You can also find information about different types of wallet by clicking on „Learn more about wallets”.

STEP 2. Select the tokens you wish to swap

STEP 3. Input the amount you would like to trade

STEP 4. Click “Approve”, and confirm the swap in your wallet

STEP 5. Click “Swap” to finalize transaction

Note: if you have any difficulties, you can contact Solarbeam’s support community.

How to use on-site bridge

Despite Moonriver being compatible with Ethereum addresses, it is still an entirely different network and requires a process called “bridging”.

Currently, Solarbeam uses bridge services from two different sources: the integrated bridge powered by Anyswap, and a third party provider Relaychain.

STEP 1. Connect the wallet and ensure it contains the funds you are intending to bridge

STEP 2. Select the origin and destination networks

STEP 3. Select a token you want to bridge

STEP 4. Approve the bridge on the site, and in your MetaMask wallet

NOTE: transactions can takes up to 15 minutes. If the funds do not appear in your wallet, or if the transaction is stuck, try to manually push your transaction. For any further problems, refer to AnySwap’s technical support channels.

Adding liquidity pairs

STEP 1. Go to “Pool” and connect to your wallet

STEP 2. Click “Add” to form new tokens

STEP 3. Select token pair you wish to form

STEP 4. Click “Confirm Adding Liquidity” and „Confirm Supply”

STEP 5. Confirm in wallet and get “Transaction Submitted” notification

Staking LP tokens

STEP 1. Connect your wallet

STEP 2. Choose the amount you wish to stake and click „Approve”

STEP 3. Approve the transaction on site, and in wallet

STEP 4. Click “Stake” to commit to pool

All these features are only possible thanks to the integration of two excellent projects such as Moonbeam and Solarbeam.
