What it does
Moonwell is a Compound-style lending market: deposit assets to earn yield, or use them as collateral to borrow other assets. It has a polished consumer-facing UI and a mobile app, which is rare in DeFi.
Why people use it
Earn yield on idle USDC, borrow against ETH without selling, leverage long popular Base assets. The mobile-first UX makes it accessible to non-DeFi-native users.
WARNINGBorrowing creates liquidation risk. Always monitor your health factor — Moonwell shows it prominently in the app.
