Kusama is a scalable network of specialized blockchains built using Substrate and nearly the same codebase as Polkadot. The network is an experimental development environment for teams who want to move fast and innovate on Kusama, or prepare for deployment on Polkadot.
Moonriver is a canary network of Moonbeam. Other projects will be able to test their code base on Moonriver, and only then deploy to Moonbeam. The Moonriver has already been launched and is being traded, because it has a faster process of obtaining a parachain slot. Moonriver is a full Ethereum-like environment and works with industry-standard Ethereum tools, DApps, and protocols.
Moonriver (MOVR) is the utility token of the Moonriver Network, Moonbeam’s Kusama deployment that serves as a “CanaryNet” to the Moonbeam Network.
