hey there @cryptoabe, the Axelar bridge is coming soon to Moonriver, the proposal was passed. you can see the forum discussion at: [Referendum MR50] Moonriver <> Axelar Integration.
also, LayerZero already supports Moonriver, so devs on Moonriver can use LayerZero under the hood: Mainnet Addresses | LayerZero V1 Docs
could you please explain more about your proposal? specifically, what exactly are you proposing?
Moonwell can apply for ecosystem and community grants, and I believe they are fully aware of the process
