Moonwell

Moonwell is a lending protocol built on Base that uses ERC-8021 Builder Codes for onchain attribution, which essentially lets protocols credit their builders directly onchain — not exactly the most flashy feature in DeFi, but actually smart for signaling legitimacy in a space where fork-and-deploy is the default move. Base has been quietly picking up momentum as the Coinbase-backed L2, and Moonwell's playing the long game by making it clear who actually shipped this thing. Worth watching if you want a lending read on just how competitive the Base ecosystem gets.
