View Chartr/CryptoCurrency Moons (MOON) is an ERC-20 token that was launched by Reddit admins on the r/CryptoCurrency subreddit as part of the Reddit Community Points project. Moons are distributed monthly as rewards for user contributions, using Reddit Karma as the basis for calculating how many tokens each participant receives. The token initially launched on the Ethereum mainnet and was later migrated to Arbitrum Nova, a Layer-2 scaling solution optimized for social applications, to improve transaction speeds and reduce costs. Moons represent a form of ownership and reputation within the subreddit, and they can be freely transferred, tipped, and spent within the community. The token supply has been reported with varying figures across data providers, with total supply figures ranging from approximately 82.28 million to 112.63 million MOON depending on the source. The project entered a significant new phase in October 2023 when Reddit announced the discontinuation of its blockchain-based Community Points program, citing scalability challenges and high costs. Despite this, MOON tokens continue to exist on-chain and remain tradable on various markets.
Moons were introduced by Reddit admins in May 2020 as part of the broader Reddit Community Points project, a blockchain-based experiment designed to reward users for their contributions on the platform. The project was developed and managed by Reddit itself, with smart contracts handling the distribution and storage of tokens. Moons are stored in the Vault, an Ethereum wallet developed by Reddit within their mobile app. While the initiative was driven by Reddit's internal team, no specific individual founders or developers have been publicly identified as the creators of the token. The subreddit community plays a significant role in setting karma modifiers that influence the conversion of karma into Moons. Detailed public information about the specific development team behind the smart contracts is currently limited.
Moons operate on a monthly distribution cycle, with tokens distributed every 28 days based on the share of total karma earned by users within the subreddit during that period. The distribution is automatic for users who have set up their Vault. Moons can be earned through various activities including commenting, posting, winning competitions, and participating in subreddit activities. Karma modifiers, which are set by the subreddit community, influence the conversion rate of karma into Moons. The initial distribution was based on karma earned by users prior to the launch, and since then, monthly distributions have been taking place with the supply decreasing by a fixed percentage each round. As ERC-20 tokens on Arbitrum Nova, Moons can be freely transferred between users, tipped to other community members, and spent on subreddit-specific features. The migration to Arbitrum Nova was intended to improve transaction efficiency and reduce costs, making the usage of Moons more practical for everyday activities within the community.
Moons are unique in that they represent a direct integration of blockchain technology with one of the largest cryptocurrency communities on the internet. Unlike many tokens that are created primarily for trading or speculation, Moons were designed from the outset as a mechanism to recognize and reward genuine community contributions. This gives MOON a utility that is directly tied to social engagement and community participation. The token serves as a portable proof of reputation and contribution within the r/CryptoCurrency community, and its ERC-20 nature enables potential utility and value beyond Reddit itself. Holders can use Moons to acquire badges, access exclusive GIFs in comments, increase the weight of their votes in community polls, and rent banner space on the subreddit. This multifaceted use-case underscores the token's role in enhancing community interaction and governance. The migration to Arbitrum Nova further adds value by improving scalability and reducing transaction costs, making the token more practical for everyday use within the community.
Moons have multiple uses within the r/CryptoCurrency community. They display reputation within the subreddit, allowing users to showcase their contribution and standing in the community. They unlock exclusive features such as badges and GIFs in comments through the Special Membership program. Moons can be used to vote in governance polls, with holdings adding weight to votes in polls, thereby enabling decentralized community governance. Users can tip other users with Moons, obtain r/CryptoCurrency Coins, and access special perks implemented by the moderation team. Moons can also be used to rent banner space on the subreddit and redeem for Reddit coins, though exclusively for use within r/CryptoCurrency. Additionally, Moons serve as a portable proof of reputation and contribution within the r/CryptoCurrency community, and their ERC-20 nature enables potential utility and value beyond Reddit itself. One of the innovative uses of Moons is within Moon Tropica, a blockchain-based game.
The MOON ecosystem has undergone significant changes since its launch in May 2020. Initially launched on the Ethereum mainnet, the token was migrated to Arbitrum Nova to improve transaction efficiency and reduce costs. In October 2023, Reddit announced the discontinuation of its blockchain-based Community Points program, citing scalability challenges and high costs as primary reasons. Despite efforts to integrate with scaling solutions like Arbitrum Nova, the platform faced difficulties in effectively scaling the rewards system for its extensive user base. Following this announcement, support for Arbitrum Nova is being reduced, with a scheduled reduction on September 2, 2026, and users are advised to bridge their MOON to Arbitrum One. The token continues to trade on various markets, with 44 active markets reported at one point. The community remains active on the r/CryptoCurrency subreddit, which is the leading community for cryptocurrency news, discussion, and analysis. The ecosystem also includes uses such as Moon Tropica, a blockchain-based game that incorporates Moons. Despite the discontinuation of the official Community Points program, the token maintains a presence in the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Moons are not mined in the traditional sense, as they are not produced through proof-of-work or proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms. Instead, Moons are distributed through a monthly rewards system based on user contributions to the r/CryptoCurrency subreddit. Every 28 days, Moons are distributed based on the share of total karma earned by users within the subreddit during that period. The distribution is automatic for users who have set up their Vault, an Ethereum wallet developed by Reddit within their mobile app. Users can earn Moons through various activities such as commenting, posting, winning competitions, and participating in subreddit activities. Karma modifiers, set by the subreddit community, influence the conversion of karma into Moons. The initial distribution was based on karma earned by users prior to the launch, and since then, monthly distributions have been taking place with the supply decreasing by a fixed percentage each round. Users claim their Moons in the Vault section of the Reddit iOS or Android app.
Keeping your MOON tokens safe requires attention to both the storage method and the platforms you interact with. Since Moons are ERC-20 tokens on Arbitrum Nova, they are stored in the Vault, an Ethereum wallet developed by Reddit within their mobile app, for users who earn them through subreddit contributions. For those who hold MOON outside the Reddit ecosystem, using a reputable self-custody wallet that supports Arbitrum Nova and ERC-20 tokens is advisable. Always verify contract addresses before interacting with any token, as the Arbitrum Nova contract address is 0x0057ac2d777797d31cd3f8f13bf5e927571d6ad0 and the XDAI contract address is 0x1e16aa4df73d29c029d94ceda3e3114ec191e25a. Be cautious of phishing attempts and fake tokens that may use similar names or tickers. Since support for Arbitrum Nova is being reduced and users are advised to bridge their MOON to Arbitrum One, following official community guidance on the migration process is important. Never share your private keys or seed phrases with anyone, and consider using hardware wallets for significant holdings. Staying informed through official channels such as the r/CryptoCurrency subreddit and the project's Twitter account can help you avoid scams and stay updated on important security developments.
