WELL Transparency Report

Moonwell's native governance token, WELL, empowers community members to actively shape the protocol's future. By delegating WELL to an ERC-20 wallet address, community members have the ability to vote on and submit both Snapshot and onchain proposals, otherwise known as Moonwell Improvement Proposals. This report provides comprehensive information about the WELL token, its initial distribution, and recent upgrades.

Token Overview

Token Upgrade: xERC20 Standard

As of April 3rd, 2024, WELL has been upgraded to the xERC20 token standard. This upgrade brings several benefits:

  1. Multichain Functionality: The xERC20 standard allows WELL to operate seamlessly across multiple blockchain networks.

  2. Improved Governance: Enables unified governance across bespoke networks, allowing token holders to participate in the Moonwell DAO regardless of their preferred network.

  3. Enhanced Interoperability: The xERC20 standard facilitates easier integration with various DeFi protocols and applications.

  4. Future-Proofing: Prepares WELL for potential expansion to other Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks.

Token Utility

  1. Governance Participation: WELL holders can vote on and submit both Snapshot and onchain Moonwell Improvement Proposals or choose to delegate their voting power to another DAO member who may vote on their behalf.

  2. Staking Rewards: WELL can be staked in the Moonwell Safety Module to self delegate voting power and receive additional rewards for helping to backstop the protocol.

  3. Protocol Safeguard: The Safety Module acts as a safeguard for the Moonwell protocol in the event of a shortfall event.
