new episode 🎧 i met Paul Frambot | Morpho at a parisian meetup in 2021. he was still a student and building a protocol to improve the efficiency of aave and compound. four years later, Morpho 🦋 is the second-largest lending protocol by tvl and is about to expand to 16 new chains. morpho innovates on traditional defi lending products by creating lending market infrastructure rather than a direct lending platform. the distinction is subtle but it allows the creation of custom lending markets where users define risk parameters, collateral assets, and interest rates. morpho vaults sit on top of these markets. lenders provide liquidity to a single vault, while curators efficiently distribute it across isolated markets. each vault has a unique risk profile, enabling lenders to deposit their collateral in alignment with their own risk tolerance. the rise of morpho as a leading lending protocol is nothing short of astounding. paul's story and journey as a young startup founder is nothing short of astounding. chapters 00:00 intro & paul's journey 01:49 building morpho in france 06:07 what makes morpho unique 11:32 curators’ role in risk management 20:14 fee switch & open source transition 29:52 token transferability 35:37 scaling morpho cross-chain 44:41 fintechs & institutional defi adoption 47:03 is morpho competing with aave? 49:25 challenges of building morpho

"Morpho doesn't manage assets. We're not comparable to Aave. We're infrastructure for asset managers like Aave" Morpho Co-Founder Paul Frambot on why Morpho came out nearly unscathed "Morpho provides a modular stack of isolated lending markets that anyone can deploy. You can have the safest as well as the riskiest products, but they're isolated" "People compare Morpho and Aave and try to put one against the other. But we're not competing with Aave. We're infrastructure for asset managers like Aave. Our builders are the ones competing with Aave" "90% of our volume is stablecoins in terms of active loans. We think stablecoin loans are what's truly going to be the scalable market if we want to unlock real-world lending. That's the only place where we spend our time and energy"

DeFi is not great at lending DeFi today is optimized for trading and arbitrage. Not lending to corporates, mortgages or private credit "How big actually is the target market / addressable market of DeFi lending? It remains to be proven. If it's as big as credit we are very, very far away" Luca Prosperi M0
