I think Governance on ETH main net would give us a larger presence and possibly more institutional consideration. However, Base has been good to Moonwell and I wouldn’t want to damage any synergies by moving. The question (or analysis) should be does moving to ETH main net (like Aerodrome) put us in a bigger market? I would think it does. What do you think?

Thanks for posting this. I agree with you, launching on Ethereum mainnet gives us the opportunity to grow TVL, users, fees, and revenue for the Moonwell protocol. I believe it is possible to launch on mainnet without negatively impacting our relationship and strong partnership with the Base team and Coinbase. I’m going to write a much longer post about our plans to launch on Ethereum mainnet that I hope to share on the forums later this week. I appreciate your support!
