Hey everyone,

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Third Term of the Moonbeam Governance Guild (MGG), continuing our mission to empower the Moonbeam and Moonriver community in shaping the decentralized governance of our networks.

Summary of Term 2

The Moonbeam Governance Guild continues to serve an important role in ensuring referenda proposed on Moonriver and Moonbeam are reviewed by a diverse group of community members and providing the necessary level of support for these proposals to pass. MGG members continue to share their thoughts and rationale in the community forum which in turn helps drive engagement and educate the broader community.

Below are the statistics

  • Number of referenda voted on Moonbeam - 19 Proposals (including 2 canceled and 3 whitelist)

    • Voting rate of each Moonbeam delegate

      • BlackkMagic: 14/19

      • Marin: 17/19

      • Yaron: 16/19

      • Turrizt: 19/19

      • xcRom1.dot: 18/19

  • Number of referenda voted on Moonriver - 9 Proposals (including 1 whitelist)

    • Voting rate of each Moonriver delegate

      • Michele Iceberg: 9/9

      • Sik: 8/9

      • Rafael: 9/9

      • Chandra: 8/9

      • Sik: 8/9

Note that canceled and whitelisted referenda tend to only be up for a short period of time which may lead to them closing before delegates have an opportunity to vote.

Key Details

The MGG remains committed to distributing governance responsibilities by delegating 5 million GLMR and 50,000 MOVR tokens to 10 dedicated delegates (5 for Moonbeam and 5 for Moonriver). This initiative fosters a vibrant, transparent, and representative governance ecosystem.

One important change for term 3 relates to the rewards delegates will receive for their service. In an effort to align the compensation between the Moonbeam and Moonriver delegates, Moonbeam delegates will receive 90% of the staking rewards generated from the staking of delegated tokens. (Moonriver delegates will continue to receive 50% of staking rewards).

Here are the key details:

  • Application Period: 10 Nov - 17 Nov, 2025

  • Application Form: https://forms.gle/WG7uT1MtYUPP4wav5

  • Term Length: Delegates will serve a 6-month term to ensure fresh perspectives and independent decision making.

  • Accountability: Delegates must maintain transparency through regular voting reports on social platforms, updates on the Moonbeam Forum, and program-wide metrics (details to be shared with the candidates).

  • Incentives: Delegates will receive a portion of the staking rewards from the delegated token amount as a reward for their active participation. Selected candidates must complete a KYC process.

    • Moonbeam Delegates will receive 90% of the GLMR staking rewards

    • Moonriver Delegates will receive 50% of the MOVR staking rewards

Recruitment Process

Starting today, we invite passionate community members to apply for a MGG Delegate role by completing the application form. Applications will be evaluated based on:

  • Community standing

The recruitment process will run for 7 days, with selections made by the Moonbeam Foundation (MBF) at their discretion. Candidates will be chosen for their alignment with Moonbeam’s values, expertise, and proven track record in network governance.

Delegate Responsibilities

  • Create and maintain a Community Delegate profile on the Karma dashboard.

  • Ensure full transparency during the application process and throughout the term.

Oversight and Support

The Moonbeam Foundation will continue to oversee the MGG, from delegate selection to ongoing support. Delegate performance will be evaluated twice during the term.
