# Moonwell Governance

![](/files/5ThOyMJwAwfbPBO016E2)

The Moonwell protocol and Moonwell Apollo protocol are governed by their token holders, the [Moonwell DAO](/moonwell/governance/moonwell-governance/dao-constitutions/moonwell-dao-constitution.md) and [Moonwell Apollo DAO](/moonwell/governance/moonwell-governance/dao-constitutions/moonwell-apollo-dao-constitution.md), and upgraded through the use of both onchain and Snapshot governance mechanisms. Voting power and governance rights over the Moonwell protocol are derived from the protocols' native governance tokens, [WELL](/moonwell/moonwell-overview/tokens.md) (Base, OP Mainnet, Moonbeam) and [MFAM](/moonwell/moonwell-overview/tokens.md) (Moonriver). Once [delegated](/moonwell/governance/moonwell-governance/delegate.md), these tokens can be used to [propose](/moonwell/governance/moonwell-governance/proposals.md) changes to Moonwell and [vote](/moonwell/governance/moonwell-governance/voting.md) on the proposals of others.\
\
The central hub for governance and proposal-related discourse is the [Moonwell Governance Forum](https://forum.moonwell.fi). Anyone can register for an account on the forum, and all discussions are publicly available. The [Moonwell Discord](https://discord.com/invite/moonwellfi) is also a great place to share ideas with other community members and stay up to date on the latest proposal and voting information. 

Onchain proposals are voted on through [Governance](https://gov.moonwell.fi), while Snapshot proposals are voted on through the Snapshot voting portals of the respective deployment chains.
