Binance has discontinued mainnet support for Moonriver (MOVR) and Moonbeam (GLMR), suspending deposits and withdrawals through both networks effective July 21, 2026 at 11:00 UTC, according to an exchange announcement.
The exchange said users needed to complete any pending deposits before the cutoff, and that it would handle the remaining technical requirements for affected accounts. Spot, margin, and futures trading for both tokens continue to operate normally, as do Binance Earn services tied to MOVR and GLMR, meaning the change is limited to how the tokens move on and off the exchange rather than how they trade.
A Move to Base Network
In place of their native mainnets, Binance is migrating both MOVR and GLMR to Base Network, Coinbase's Ethereum layer-2, at a 1:1 ratio. The exchange published new contract addresses for the migrated tokens on Base: MOVR now resides at 0x43fEB74608334DDa8c1a6500D185cFC3Ea962B83, while GLMR is located at 0xB3846fD356c2149ee8D30b0449088Dc74e265459.
The shift places both tokens alongside a growing list of assets that exchanges have moved onto Base as the network has attracted liquidity and developer activity since its launch. For holders, the practical impact is that future deposits and withdrawals will need to route through Base rather than the Moonriver and Moonbeam networks the tokens originally launched on.
What It Means for Moonriver and Moonbeam
Moonriver and Moonbeam were built as smart-contract platforms compatible with Ethereum tooling, deployed on Kusama and Polkadot respectively. Binance's decision to drop native mainnet support in favor of a Base-based representation reflects a broader pattern among exchanges of consolidating token support onto a smaller number of well-trafficked networks rather than maintaining integrations with every chain a token was originally issued on.
Binance has not indicated whether the change reflects declining network activity on Moonriver or Moonbeam specifically, but the migration means holders will need to adjust their withdrawal destinations going forward, using Base-compatible wallets rather than addresses native to the original networks.
