MWEB, inspired by the Mimblewimble protocol, enhances Litecoin by achieving two critical goals:
- Confidential Transactions: MWEB introduces confidential transactions, concealing transfer amounts for heightened privacy and protection against certain types of spam attacks.‍
- Scalability Improvement: MWEB addresses blockchain scalability by efficiently pruning old transaction data, reducing blockchain size, and ensuring a more scalable network.

Mimblewimble Extension Blocks work alongside the main blockchain, accommodating confidential transactions and pruning, while maintaining compatibility with existing wallets and services. This enhances interoperability and security without compromising Litecoin's robustness.

As of now, only Litecoin Core, Cake Wallet, and Pteri Wallet have integrated MWEB. Alongside them, Ellipal Wallet and Stack Wallet are also working to integrate MWEB.
There are also MWEB plugins for Ledger (Nano S devices) and BTCPay Server, created by Hector Chu.
