1/ Moonbeam how-to: fetching price data w/ Chainlink Price Feeds.

@chainlink's decentralized oracle network contains real-time price data continuously updated by operators in a smart contract for other smart contracts (DApps) to fetch & consume.

📖

🧵👇docs.moonbeam.network/builders/integ… 2/ There are 2️⃣ main architectures: Price Feeds and Basic Request Model. This guide will show how to fetch the latest price data using Price Feeds on Moonbeam, @MoonriverNW, or Moonbase Alpha Testnet.

⚠️ The info presented herein is for informational purposes only. Always DYOR.

1/ We get it- there’s a lot to digest with the latest grant program changes 📚

💆‍♂️ Here’s a TLDR on the Grants Committee implemented as part of the recent Interim Grants Program & the role they play in accepting/rejecting grants ⬇️ 2/ 👥 For starters, The Community Grants Committee is a group of five individuals charged with reviewing incoming grant applications and evaluating their merit, contributions to the ecosystem, and value to the network as a whole.

1/ 💫 Creating cross-chain transfers in #Dotsama just got easier!

➡️ Enter XCM SDK by Moonbeam to simplify XCM transfers & provide a smoother experience for builders on Moonbeam, @MoonriverNW, as well as other parachains

Details 🧵👇

1/ We are aware that many Moonbeam community members remain deeply impacted by the Nomad bridge hack two weeks ago. It’s hard not to be affected by an incident of this size, and the reverberations have been felt across the entire ecosystem. 2/ We know people are hurting & we feel for everyone directly or indirectly affected. This incident has been a tremendous hit to our community & has impacted some individuals more than others. Especially for those of you more directly impacted, know that we are grieving with you.

1/ Two weeks ago Moonbeam introduced the first proof-of-concept for EVM access through XCM via Runtime 1701- a big step forward in unifying functionality cross-chain #connectedcontracts

What does this mean?

A thread 🧵 2/ Although still in its testing phase, XCM-to-EVM call functionality will allow devs on other parachains to trigger function calls on Moonbeam’s EVM

1/ A new proposal for changes to staking on Moonbeam and @MoonriverNW will be put forward for democratic vote. 🗳

The proposal is to remove staking rewards for tokens unbonded by delegators during the unbonding process.
moonbeam.network/blog/upcoming-… 2/ Moonbeam’s current staking implementation allows delegators to receive staking rewards for tokens that are being unbonded. This new proposal will disincentivize this behavior by no longer providing staking rewards during the unbonding period.

1/ The #Moonbeam monthly dispatch is here!🔥 February was a short month but we made the most of it. Read on for new integrations & features on the network, events from throughout the month, and more! 🗓
moonbeam.network/newsletters/mo… 2/ On February 20th, the Moonbeam Foundation distributed $GLMR rewards to Take Flight participants who supported the recent Moonbeam launch to @Polkadot! ✨

1/ Moonbeam staking isn’t complicated, but that doesn't mean you can’t learn something new!

Dive into this 🧵 thread of short clips that cover how to choose a collator, tips for staking large amounts of $GLMR, and tracking your delegations. #Moonbeamstaking 2/ 🧐 Did you know delegators receive rewards based on their percentage of contributions towards a collator's total amount staked?

For larger delegations, staking with multiple collators can help manage revoke requests and optimize rewards.

1/ 🗓 We have multiple live events going on this week within the #Moonbeam ecosystem! Don't miss our technical workshop, one-on-one interview, or live Twitter Space!

Read on to see everything that's happening and how to attend! 🔥 2/ 🔴 This week on Multi-Chain Sessions @exiledracers, @igniteyourgames, @seascapenetwork, and @MoonsamaNFT will be joining us to talk about #Play2Earn and unlocking the potential of blockchain gaming with multi-chain scalability!
