Notice of Moonbeam (GLMR) Migration

Last updated: 27 de juliol del 2026

The Moonbeam (GLMR) token is migrating from Polkadot to the Base network. Kraken is handling this migration on behalf of all affected clients, so you do not need to take any action. The migration is 1:1, your GLMR balance will not be affected, and the GLMR ticker stays the same. Trading remains open throughout.

This article explains how the migration works and what to expect at each stage.

  • GLMR is migrating from Polkadot to the Base network at a 1:1 rate.

  • Kraken is handling the migration on your behalf. No action is required from you.

  • Your GLMR balance will not be affected.

  • Trading for GLMR remains open throughout the migration.

  • GLMR funding (deposits and withdrawals) will be paused on July 30, 2026 at 14:00 UTC.

  • The migration window runs from July 31 to August 7, 2026. Funding will be re-enabled once the migration is complete.

  • Polkadot GLMR will no longer be supported after the migration.

Moonbeam (GLMR) is moving from Polkadot to the Base network. Kraken will migrate client balances automatically at a 1:1 rate, so every GLMR you hold will remain one GLMR after the migration. The GLMR ticker does not change.

You do not need to bridge tokens, swap anything, or take any other action. If you hold GLMR on Kraken, the migration is handled for you.

You may have seen references to a July 31, 2026 bridging deadline for GLMR. That deadline applies to GLMR held in personal wallets, not to GLMR held on Kraken. There is no need to move your GLMR off Kraken to complete the migration.

Here is what to expect at each stage:

July 30, 2026 at 14:00 UTC: GLMR funding (deposits and withdrawals) is paused. Trading remains open.

July 31 to August 7, 2026: Migration window. GLMR is migrated to GLMR on Base. Funding is re-enabled once the migration is complete.

You do not need to do anything to complete this migration. Kraken will update your account automatically during the migration window.

The GLMR ticker stays the same, so your balance will continue to appear as GLMR in your account. After the migration, your GLMR will be the Base version of the token. Polkadot GLMR will no longer be supported on Kraken.

For your reference, after the migration GLMR is the Base ERC-20 token deployed at the following address:

0xb3846fd356c2149ee8d30b0449088dc74e265459
