The Moonbeam network on Polkadot will shut down on July 31, 2026 - just one week away.​ WELL token holders must act immediately to avoid losing access to their assets.​

Key Actions Required:

  • Transfer all WELL tokens from Moonbeam to Base, Optimism, or Ethereum before July 31
  • Transfers are 1:1 and complete in minutes at moonwell.​fi/transfer
  • Over 25M WELL remains staked on Moonbeam - the 7-day cooldown has been removed for immediate redemption

Critical Details:

  • Assets remaining on Moonbeam after July 31 may become permanently inaccessible
  • This affects only Moonbeam deployments - Base, Ethereum, and Optimism markets remain unaffected
  • Users should also withdraw any supplied assets and close positions before the deadline

The network shutdown was decided independently by the Moonbeam team.​ Support available at support.​moonwell.​fi.​

Moonwell Borrowing Surges Across Networks

Borrowing activity accelerated across Moonwell's lending markets last week, with notable increases on multiple chains. **Key Metrics:** - USDT borrows on Ethereum: **+236%** - USDC borrows on Ethereum: **+148%** - VELO borrows on OP Mainnet: **+206%** (reaching nearly 6M VELO) This uptick follows recent protocol enhancements, including new borrow incentives for USDC, USDT, ETH, and cbBTC on Ethereum. Users can now earn WELL tokens while borrowing these assets. The growth comes as Moonwell continues expanding across chains. Since launching on Ethereum in June, the protocol has attracted over $3.5M in supplied assets. Supply-side WELL incentives remain active across all Ethereum markets. Moonwell operates on Ethereum, Base, and OP Mainnet, offering lending and borrowing for stablecoins, ETH, cbBTC, and other assets. All smart contracts are audited by Halborn Security.
