To add a FRAME pallet to a Moonbeam runtime, wire it into construct_runtime and implement its Config trait. You need a pallet skeleton including Cargo.toml, lib.rs, storage items, and events to extend on-chain functionality for Moonbase, Moonriver, or Moonbeam.

Integrating a Substrate pallet requires a pallet skeleton with Cargo.toml and lib.rs, a Config trait implementation, storage items, events, and wiring into construct_runtime. Optional benchmarking and tests validate the pallet integration correctness.

Yes, custom pallets work with Moonriver and Moonbase deployments. The integration process applies to all Moonbeam-family runtimes, allowing you to deploy modular runtime extensions like custom asset or governance modules across these Substrate-based networks.

You test and benchmark a new pallet by generating mocks, unit tests, and optional benchmarks to validate correctness. This testing phase ensures the pallet functions properly before wiring it into the Moonbeam runtime via construct_runtime.

The best way to scaffold a Substrate pallet for Moonbeam is generating a standard pallet structure with Cargo.toml and dependencies, then implementing the Config trait and wiring it into construct_runtime to enable modular runtime extensions without boilerplate duplication.

A pallet integration requires a Config trait in Substrate because it defines the runtime interfaces and types the pallet needs. Implementing this trait connects the pallet skeleton to the Moonbeam runtime, enabling proper on-chain functionality and storage interaction.
