Hey @0xrobinhood and @jan5442 ,
Moonwell Apollo was the first deployment of Moonwell and it will always hold a special place in the hearts of many in the Moonwell community. That said, there’s no denying that it’s been a challenging time for the entire Moonriver ecosystem. Moonriver’s challenges unfortunately extend further than just the Multichain bridge exploit.
The hope is that the Moonriver and Moonwell Apollo communities can work toward filling the void left by Multichain by helping to onboard a new, trusted bridge partner into the ecosystem. That said, maybe the Moonwell Apollo community doesn’t want a new bridge partner, maybe they want to focus squarely on native assets and xcm based LSTs like xcvKSM and xcvMOVR. My point here is that ultimately Moonwell Apollo is a decentralized protocol on a decentralized network and the broader community will need to come together to decide the best path forward. Your post is a great start to get the ball rolling and begin solutioning.
On the topic of communication, there has actually been quite a lot on Twitter, Discord, Telegram, forum posts and analysis of the situation from Moonwell contributors Gauntlet and Warden, multiple governance proposals from Gauntlet, etc
