Moonwell has launched unified governance across Ethereum Mainnet and multiple Layer 2 networks.​ WELL token holders can now propose, vote, and execute governance decisions from Ethereum Mainnet, with voting power recognized across Base, Optimism Mainnet, and Moonbeam.​

This follows the execution of MIP-X58, which establishes Ethereum Mainnet as the primary governance hub while maintaining full connectivity with existing networks.​ 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.​ The community-driven proposal process began in early May 2026, with initial discussions about Ethereum Mainnet activation and market selection.​

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

MIP-X55 is live. This is the first of potentially several proposals to activate the Moonwell protocol on Ethereum mainnet. If successful, it would enable seamless bridging of the WELL token between Base, OP Mainnet, Moonbeam, and Ethereum. Voting is open below ↓
