In May 2020, Reddit administrators announced Moons, an ERC-20 token on Arbitrum Nova, as part of the Community Points initiative. They provide users with a way to get cryptocurrency in exchange for their efforts in the form of a subreddit ownership unit.
Moons are separate from Reddit and cannot be taken away from users once earned by subreddit moderators or administrators. A collection of smart contracts that deal with sales, transfers, distribution/request, and purchase of special subscriptions control the moons.
In this article, we will focus on transferring Reddit assets like Lune or NFT to one of the most popular cryptocurrency wallets today: MetaMask. The whole process is carried out in a few simple steps, so let’s dig into the details.
Transfer Reddit Moons to MetaMask

How to create a Reddit Wallet / Reddit Vault?
To participate in Reddit “Community Points”, you will need to create your own portfolio. This is not difficult; It just takes a few more steps. We recommend starting by creating a Reddit account. If you already have one, great!
Otherwise, go to reddit.com/signup to sign up for free. Once you’re logged into your account, go to the main menu bar and click Account Settings. From there, select Add New Wallet.
Now we recommend that you enter your email address. Then, you will be asked to verify your email address. After doing so, you will see a screen asking you to add a password. Make sure you use something strong because you will put it in every time you access your wallet.
Finally, you will be asked if you want your wallet to be linked to your Reddit profile. Click Yes here. Now, you will be taken to the next step, where you will be prompted to download the Reddit app.
After downloading the app, open it and tap Create a wallet in the upper-right corner. Enter a name for your wallet.
Next, you will be asked what type of cryptocurrency you want to keep in your wallet. You can choose Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Monero, Dash, Dogecoin, Zcash and many more. For now, we’ll stick to Bitcoin.
After selecting Bitcoin, you will be provided with a QR code to scan. Scan it and you will be taken to a screen where you can enter your wallet information. Enter a username, description, and passphrase (this is the same thing you used to generate your seed phrase). Your wallet will ask you to confirm your username. After doing so, hit Continue.
Next, you will be asked for your email address and a security question. Answer both questions correctly and you’re done. Your wallet will be ready for action!
