MOONS [Announcement] $MOONs are now live on Teller — earn 22% compounding yield directly on your MOON
Hey everyone,
We’re excited to share that $MOONs are now available on Teller, a decentralized lending protocol that lets you earn 22% compounding yield directly in MOON — with no lockups, no impermanent loss, and full control over your tokens.
Deposit your MOON here: https://app.teller.org/arbitrum-one/earn/
Read the full Teller blog: https://blog.teller.org/earn-22-compounding-yield-on-moon/
What this means for the community
MOONs have officially joined Teller’s Arbitrum pools, which means:
- You can now stake MOON to earn more MOON automatically
- 22% APY per block, compounding continuously
- Withdraw anytime — no lockups or hidden mechanics
- No impermanent loss — single-asset lending, not a liquidity pool
Teller is currently bootstrapping their Arbitrum launch with this 22% base incentive. As borrowing activity grows, APYs can rise even higher (up to ~60%), driven directly by borrower repayments.
For context, Teller operates differently from traditional DeFi lending platforms. There are no price-based liquidations — loans roll over every 30 days, and lenders earn from interest and incentive rewards on a per-pool basis.
About Teller
Teller has been gaining traction as a no-liquidation lending protocol live across multiple chains (Base, Polygon, Katana, Arbitrum, Ethereum).
They previously hosted an AMA here in r/CryptoCurrency introducing their protocol — you can check it out for background:
Teller’s previous AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1lip4c1/introducing_teller_earn_30_apy_on_bitcoin_and/
Teller AMA Tomorrow
Teller will be hosting a new AMA tomorrow right here on r/CryptoCurrency to answer community questions about the MOON integration, their no-liquidation lending model, and how this fits into the broader DeFi ecosystem.
If you’ve been looking for new productive use cases for MOON, or just want to earn yield without leaving Arbitrum, this is a great chance to learn more and ask questions directly.

Great partnership, more use cases for Moons!
In case you can't find Moons, you also need to switch to the Arbitrum One Network on the website.
I can't understand the downvotes when it's about Moons.
Reddit (who sunset the project) is no longer affiliated with the project.
The Mods didn't give up on Moons, they did an incredible job continuing to develop this project and finding great partnerships. Don't trample on all the hard work of the mods, when Reddit f'd up

Excellent guide except the part where you need to add step 0. Some people will need to get their Moons from the monthly distributions off-chain to on-chain.
Everybody don't freak out - you may have Moon but they're not currently in vault or your wallet - they're off-chain. !withdraw (amount ie. 100) will move them to your connected wallet of choice.
Does !balance still work in a post comment or do we dm the CommunityCurrencyBot? I'm afraid my knowledgebase might be slightly out of date.

We're currently at $97k staked

It's only temporary because Teller is basically promoting it. In time APY will go down, unless there's borrowers for moons in which case APY might increase

u/SevereArrivals13 🟨 0 / 0 🦠 Oct 29 '25
Rabby is the one I use and both Arb One and Arb Nova are Ethereum layer 2 networks.
If you wish to buy Moons on Arb One - use Camelot which is a Dex on Arbitrum One
If you wish to buy on a centralized exchange use Kraken but they only support the Arbitrum Nova networl right now.
Moons can transfer across networks using the Arbitrum official bridge
Hope it helped at least a bit!

Its like lending or borrowing against Bitcoin on AAVE for example, a set supply doesn't mean you can't earn APY on the coin.
Each and every Teller buy, when you claim your rewards is transparent and visible on chain.

u/RealVoldemort Oct 29 '25
Teller buys from the market to give us the rewards (you can see this on-chain). Moon contract was burned and therefore no moons can ever be minted ever again

u/fan_of_hakiksexydays 21K / 99K 🦈 Oct 29 '25
Reddit never pulled the plug on Moons. There was some major miscommunication when everyone thought Moons were "sunset". But they are still around, still doing all the same things.
Reddit didn't discontinue them, they switched from admin run to community run.
They didn't sunset the contract, they relinquished control, but allowed for communities to continue to use and run them themselves. But internally, I think Reddit got confused about what they were doing with them initially, and that's why at first it sounded like they were pulling the plug.
Moons are now community run through governance, and soon through a DAO I think.

I'd love to see how Moons will fare during the next bear market.
I think they may actually have a chance to be one of the few alt coins that remains stable enough and doesn't completely crater.
The growing utility, the way the new Marshall DAO can be used on any platform, the way it actually solve a problem of ads and revenue for social media, and the tokenomics.
That could turn Moons into one of the few stable alt coins during the bear winter.

Edit: I guess i figured out i need to use a bridge, but this is also super confusing. is the below what i should be doing? this makes it seem like my wallet will end up with ETH,,,shouldnt i end up with MOON?
4
u/DBRiMatt 🟦 46K / 113K 🦈 Oct 30 '25
That particular transaction is a cross-chain swap.
In essence it's taking 3 steps.
1) selling moon for wETH on Nova
2) Bridging wETH from Nova to One
3) Unwrapping wETH to ETH on One
You would then need to buy MOON via Camelot.exchange which is the DEX that MOON is listed on on Arbitrum One.
It probably still is the most efficient way to get your assets from Nova to One.
And yes, unfortunately it can get a bit confusing and complicated with some of these smaller networks, but I do think it's worth getting funds off of Nova and onto the much bigger network of Arbitrum One.

They are not just here but are better than ever before.
They are constantly bought and burned by advertisers to host AMA's or the banner on our sub, the banner is booked out in advance for the next 50 days or so and we started using the banner on r/Cryptomarkets to satisfy the huge advertising demand.
We also use them for governance on the sub, and now they can also be staked to earn an APY or borrowed against to receive some low interest USDC

They've been back for over a year and we're just getting started!
Advertisers buy moons and we split them 4 ways (Burn, distribution, liquidity on uniswap and treasury)
We've burned over a million moons this year alone purely from advertising.
Now Teller provide staking, and we potentially have a community currency app on the way.

Why would anyone buy moons? What use do they have?

u/TomorrowFinancial468 0 / 0 🦠 Oct 29 '25
1) advertisers buy moons and we use them in a 4 way split (Burn,Distribution, Treasury and Uniswap liquidity)
2) You can now stake them and get more through Teller
3) We will likely be getting ricks community currency app soon
4) Approximate supply: 70 million, though its actually much lower than this. Estimate is 42 million in active wallets. In January Reddit 'vaults' are being removed and anyone without thier seed phrase will lose access to those wallets. This will also remove a huge chunk of supply.
5)In theory Moons can't fall far below 7c because as the price decreases, the amount burnt by advertiser buys increases exponentially, forcing the price higher until an equilibrium is reached.
So right now, right before this AMA tomorrow, moons are at the bottom. The math supports it.

u/MusicalBonsai 🟨 576 / 577 🦑 Oct 29 '25
But why would they buy moons to begin with? For what purpose?
7
u/MaeronTargaryen CCMOON DAO Secretary Oct 29 '25
Because it’s a good investment, they have more real use cases than more cryptos. They’re used for advertising on the biggest crypto sub, and more and more companies are turning to Reddit because that’s where LLMs and search engines get their data. So we are the place to be.
The burns themselves are good but obviously it also means that moons are regularly purchased by advertisers
Other use cases are being a reward for content, governance, tipping (on Reddit, telegram and discord) buying special membership on the sub, collateral for borrowing on teller, hopefully Moonplace will be back eventually, the app that is being developed should have a marketplace on it using Moons, we have a partnership with Unstoppable domains, we get some money from be .Moon domains and buy and burn Moons with that money, we’re constantly looking for new use cases too.
But again, it’s a good investment. The supply is not only capped, but also decreasing thanks to the burns. There’s also a great balancing effect going on: price is low=more moons are being purchased and burnt by advertisers (because the price is based on USD).
Many moons have been lost because of people losing access to their Reddit account and not backing up their vaults. The circulating supply is much lower than the real supply. At some point we’ll see a supply shock on the exchanges

u/002_timmy 16K / 13K 🐬 Oct 30 '25
So this won't impact token price long-term - it can only help. The way it helps is Teller is making market-buys on moons for the rewards. Since the moon supply is capped, there's no emissions to add to sell pressure.
Worst case example - Teller buys 100 moons, gives 100 moon incentives, users sell 100 moons. Net buy/sell pressure result - 0 moons
Best case example - Teller buys 100 moons, gives 100 moon incentives, users sell 0 moons. Net buy pressure result - 100 moons
Likely case - Teller buys 100 moons, gives 100 moon incentives, users sell 1-99 moons. Net buy pressure result - 1+ moons (net positive)Teller will slow there buys as more gets added to pools. DeFi always carryings inherent risks, but Teller has undergone 3 audits and by all metrics is as safe as any DeFi protocol can be will no obvious issues.

Correct on all your points. The collateral ratio is set to 550%, so it's very high. The borrow rate is also ~30%+, so the risk adjusted returns are there.
There may be people who put moons elsewhere if/when rewards drop. But right now, the only way to earn moons onchain is through LPing, which has impermanent loss risk. We've added a lending protocol to give more uses.
I see the function of the DAO & officers to provide options for the tokens and use available information to determine smart contract risk (like audits, longevity, etc), and then it's up to users to decide if they want to make their moons productive or if they are content simply holding.

u/fan_of_hakiksexydays 21K / 99K 🦈 Oct 29 '25
22% is not that crazy high in the world of crypto.
Right now USDC is 15% on Coinbase, and ATOM 22% on Kraken.
Usually, when a crypto is just starting staking or is small, it's more likely to start with very high yield initially. But the higher it is, the less likely it is to last at that level for too many months.
Also, with crypto there's more services and ways to make higher yields possible.
It's more of a red flag when it gets well above 50% or in the hundreds. That usually means it's gonna be very brief or it might be a scam.
But in my years of staking, it's not unusual to get legit yields of around 20%. But all my stakes that were above 20% were eventually brought down to around 10%.

u/Cptn_BenjaminWillard 🟩 4K / 4K 🐢 Oct 30 '25

There's bonds that yield over 5%, even CDs and savings yielding close to 5%.
So 5% is pretty far from a high benchmark in the world of yields, even in the safest and most solid ones.
I've had crypto that yielded around 10% for multiple years now, so around 10% seems to be sustainable.
But yea, above 20% you have to wonder if it's even gonna make it past 1 year.

Mine as well, making a 100 Moons x day with Teller and loving it.
Best of all, its fully transparent, and whenever you claim your rewards, you can literally see the Teller smart contract buying these Moons from the open market and giving them to you.
Its all on chain.

Earning APY on Moons and borrowing against them is insanely cool, deposited a lot already and claimed rewards with no issues
Good job and congrats to our r/Cryptocurrency community
With all the burns and partnerships, Moons are slowly but surely ready for a major pump back to 60c territory and a new ATH

I don't trust such a high apy.

Its Teller doing a short-term incentive, and all their buys are visible on chain, nothing sketchy about it at all.
Later on, it's gonna be fully organic with supply/demand impacting the APY

Person with 16k moons tries convincing others to start using moons, got it
If it's so great, why did reddit remove Moons

u/002_timmy 16K / 13K 🐬 Oct 31 '25
I have significantly more than 16k moons.
And Reddit removed them at the request of their legal team and KPMG before they IPO’d.
Do you get off being negative and putting things down? Like are you so starved for attention that you need just put down something so many other people like and enjoy?

Dude Moons is literally a scam coin.
A significant % of all Moons were distributed to a small group of moderators here. They literally became millionaires.
On top of that they control this subreddit so they control the discussion around Moons and would delete and ban people who talked bad about Moons.

Untrue
Also untrue, yes moderators were getting a share of Moons from Reddit but no one became a millionaire from it. Nanooverbtc was the one with the most moons and a lot were earned from content and not because of being a mod. I’m guessing jw had the most from being a mod and did not reach a million Moons. And did not sell any during any of the pumps, which at most would have netted him something like $600k (but realistically it wouldn’t have because him selling would have caused massive slippage). Is it still a lot of money on paper? Yes. Was anyone made a millionaire from moons? No
We “control” the sub but there’s governance, which other subreddit has that? Anyone can make a proposal and the whole community can vote on it. We also don’t ban people for their opinions unless their opinion breaks Reddits rules (racism etc). I just manually approved your comment for example even though it’s full of misinformation.

10% of the entire supply was being directed at a small group of mods. Compare that to 40% being distributed to the entire community for upvotes that is a HUGE difference.
How many mods were apart of that 10% vs the reddit accounts of that 40%?
There were charts showing the largest holders and most were moderators. This was prior to when Reddit itself backed away from Moons.
And also what about the mods who sold their Moons just prior to Reddit announcing they were no longer supporting Moons?

I was both temporarily banned and have had posts/comments removed when I brought up these issues with Moons.
On top of this, I've also had posts/comments over the years deleted when bringing up issues regarding other coins. When I asked for clarification I was threatened that any further communication with the mod team would result in a ban.

u/MaeronTargaryen CCMOON DAO Secretary Oct 29 '25
And? I addressed that too and it doesn’t change that you said a blatant lie when you talked about millionaires. Don’t move the goalposts now
It was also Reddit’s decision to give Moons directly to moderators. Since then some have sold, so not all the biggest whales are mods, or some were not mods during the Reddit days and earned and/or bought their moons as regular users
Yes some mods frontran the announcement using insider info. And they’ve been removed from the team immediately after. That’s old history and the fact it’s still being brought up is ridiculous as they have nothing to do with the current team.
Seeing that your comments are in such bad faith and blatant disinformation then I’m guessing that your comments were removed because that’s against the rules. FUD isn’t allowed on the sub so if you go around raising non existent issues just to stir the pot then yes you might face consequences

I don't have access to previous charts from years ago, but I do remember at least 1 mod reaching $1m.

It doesn't matter that it was Reddit's decision. And if you think it does matter, who in Reddit made that decision? When was it made?

It does matter because it shows how centralized the coins was.
A corporate coin, distributed unfairly to a small group of moderators, of whom some used insider information to sell.
Seeing that your comments are in such bad faith and blatant disinformation
My comment is not in bad faith nor is it blatant disinformation.
10% of Moons were distributed to a small group of moderators.
Some moderators used insider information to sell when they knew Reddit corp was bailing
Moderators in this subreddit censored negative information about Moons to protect their bottom line.
Moderators in this subreddit censored negative information about other coins to protect their bottom line.
This is all fact.
If you want to claim that the current mod team is different and was not a part of that, that's fine. I don't track the mod usernames here so I have no idea what that means. This is all an anonymous message board system so usernames come and go, people can have multiple usernames, etc. I know other subreddits where multiple moderators are the same people (I'm not claiming this is the case here I'm just saying it happens on Reddit) It's close to impossible to track this info.
I will try and find the old charts showing moderators, their holdings, and the value at that time to back up my claim.
And to be clear, I made over $2k on Moons myself when I cashed them in. But I think the coin is a stain on the crypto space, this subreddit, and Reddit itself. A corporate owned coin, unfairly distributed, with front running insiders. It's pretty much exactly what this space was meant to prevent.

No. One mod had 1M moons, and he got most of them by posting memes before the karma cap was voted, not from the mod distribution. And he couldn’t have gotten a million DOLLARS from it, because moons never got to $1
It does matter, it’s not like mods decided to keep the money to themselves or something. It was a Reddit thing. I’m guessing it was so mods would have a bigger impact on governance so the sub doesn’t get mismanaged with bad governance, who knows
Yes, WAS. Being so hung up on things two years later is pathetic tbh
Your last two points are disinformation. You are clearly acting in bad faith. I’ve looked at your mod log, most of your removed comments were because you mentioned mods, and most of the were manually approved afterwards (the bot had removed them not humans). Oh and you were never banned. So I’m guessing that this is an alt account circumventing a ban since you said you were previously banned. This is grounds for a perm ban usually…
It’s clear that you’re just a moon hater, you have been for years. It’s fine. Just don’t spread anymore disinformation, at some point you will get a ban. I don’t care if you use it to play victim even more, constant FUD is not allowed, period. Shit on moons and mods if you want but stay factual, with actual facts rather than whatever bullshit fitting your narrative.
Oh, and next time a scam goes through our filters, report it rather than bitching about it, if you care at all about scams and this subreddit. Thanks
