RMRK Token Consolidation: Substrate → Base

RMRK is consolidating to Base as its single home chain. · By rmrk-team

RMRK is consolidating to Base as its single home chain. If you still hold RMRK on Moonbeam or a Substrate chain (Karura, Moonriver, or Asset Hub), here's what you need to know.

Update — August 1, 2026

Moonbeam and Moonriver have entered maintenance mode. EVM transactions and XCM are disabled, so the previous self-service claim route no longer works. Do not attempt to bridge to Moonriver or submit a claim transaction there.

What this means for you

Your remaining eligible legacy balance is a claim ticket for RMRK on Base. Keep access to the wallet that holds it and do not trade, move, or burn the legacy tokens.

How to claim (deadline: December 31, 2026)

The manual recovery claim is now open for eligible Moonbeam balances at bridge.rmrk.app/claim.

  1. Connect the wallet which held RMRK at the frozen snapshot.
  2. Review your complete frozen balance and receiving amount after the 5% fee.
  3. Sign the recovery message. Signing is free and does not approve token spending or submit an on-chain transaction.
  4. Your complete entitlement will be queued for manual processing to the same address on Base.

Claims are full-balance only. They cannot be split, redirected, changed, cancelled, or corrected after submission. Make sure you connect the intended wallet before signing.

The recovery ledger is frozen at Moonbeam block 16,672,926. The complete CSV, metadata, methodology, and checksum are available in the version-pinned public ledger.

RMRK will never ask for your seed phrase or private key.

Where do fees go?

The existing 5% late-claim fee will be permanently locked into RMRK liquidity via value.eth. It cannot be sold — it only deepens permanent liquidity.

What happens to unclaimed tokens?

Any tokens not claimed by December 31, 2026 will be claimed by the team, with most added to permanent liquidity locks. This benefits all remaining RMRK holders by increasing locked supply and trading depth.

Note on legacy allocations

A portion of the Substrate supply includes tokens held by legacy team members from the Kusama era. These allocations are being honored as part of this consolidation.

  • Base is the home of Kanaria and future RMRK apps
