You will also need to connect MetaMask to Moonbeam. GLMR tokens are not ERC-20s but native protocol tokens. Therefore, you must add Moonbeam as a custom network in MetaMask.
Upon accepting permissions and changing the network to Moonbeam, you will be redirected to the main dashboard where you’ll find details about your accounts balance, last transactions, crowdloan rewards data, and staking data.
Token holders can delegate a collator candidate by staking tokens and adding to the collators stake. In return, the collator will share the rewards received from producing blocks amongst all of their delegators.
To delegate a candidate, head to the staking dashboard by scrolling down to the Staking section and clicking on Manage delegations.
From the staking dashboard, you will be able to add stake and delegate collator candidates, modify existing stakes, and get an overall glimpse of your staking activity.

In the months since its initial launch, @MoonbeamNetwork has proven to be the go-to destination for builders in the Polkadot ecosystem.
Let’s take a look at why so many multi-chain and native projects alike have selected Moonbeam as their destination of choice.🧵
1. Full EVM Compatibility and Solidity Support #Moonbeam is EVM compatible, but #Polkadot does not natively support the EVM (Ethereum virtual machine), which means that developers cannot directly use Solidity smart contracts in the Polkadot ecosystem. #Moonwell
This is problematic for projects that are already live on Ethereum or another EVM-compatible network.For all of these reasons, the Moonbeam team worked with Parity to develop the Frontier pallet to provide EVM compatibility for the broader Polkadot ecosystem.
1/8 Will #Web3 replace the set of principles and technologies we know as #Web2? Web2 is the Internet as we know it today, whereas Web3 refers to the evolution and next generation of the Internet. What are the differences between Web2 and Web3, and what is their proposition?
2/8 The term #Web2 is closely associated with centralized social networks like Twitter and Facebook. These networks have become increasingly formalized - with their policies of moderation and #censorship, the use of potentially harmful business practices to society.
3/8 Companies providing information and communication platforms began to thrive in exchange for consumers' personal data. Allowing the use of personal data entails another major problem: data leakage, typical of centralized networks that rely on a single point of failure.
