The upgrade represents a significant architectural shift for the protocol. Key features: - Unified governance from Ethereum Mainnet - Cross-chain voting power recognition - Seamless WELL token bridging between networks - In-app bridging functionality coming soon The governance upgrade builds on **MIP-X55**, which enabled WELL token movement between Base, Optimism Mainnet, Moonbeam, and Ethereum.

This infrastructure upgrade positions Moonwell for long-term scalability across multiple blockchain networks.
