One onchain proposal went up for a vote this week.
Proposals
Summary: Submitted on Wednesday, this proposal sought to update the user experience of the WETH market on Ethereum. It enabled redemptions and borrows to pay out raw ETH directly, rather than requiring the user to unwrap WETH manually.

Summary: In our recap for the week of May 18th, we summarized Anthias’ risk parameter recommendations for June. On June 11th, the crosschain proposal was created. This proposal was twofold; the routine half of the proposal involved Anthias’ monthly recommendations as usual. It also implemented the team’s reserve recommendations from last month. It sought to adjust risk parameters on Base and Optimism Mainnet, while also (1) using reserves to repay $538K of bad debt from addresses with zero collateral, and (2) withdrawing 1.45 cbBTC from reserves and swap it to WETH in preparation to distribute to users affected by the cbETH incident.

Weekly Governance Update: Week of July 20th, 2026
Three onchain proposals went up for a vote this week.
Proposals
Summary: Submitted on Tuesday, this proposal sought to strengthen the security of Moonwell’s Moonriver governance system as the Moonriver deployment continues through its wind-down process. Specifically, it (1) transferred administration of the Moonriver MOVR market to a designated security contract, (2) enabled the transfer of the protocol-controlled MOVR balance to the Foundation-designated wallet through that contract, (3) increased the Moonriver governance proposal threshold to 100,000,000 WELL, and increased the Moonriver governance quorum requirement to 100,000,000 WELL.
Summary: MIP-X63 implemented Anthias’ previous risk parameter recommendations and reserve recommendations for the month of August, adjusting risk parameters on Base and OP Mainnet and using protocol reserves to repay bad debt held by insolvent accounts (accounts supplying less than $1.00 of assets) on Base and OP Mainnet.
Summary: The second of two proposals submitted Thursday, MIP-X64 sought to begin the sunset of Moonwell’s Moonbeam deployment, specifically executing the “Before Sunset” phase; it removed the routes that point to Moonbeam so that no new governance messages nor xWELL bridge transfers are sent to a chain that is being wound down. Bridging out of Moonbeam remains fully enabled.
