About Morpho
Morpho is a decentralized, non-custodial lending protocol that runs on Ethereum and other compatible chains. Lenders deposit assets to earn yield, borrowers take out overcollateralized loans, and developers can build custom lending markets and vaults on top of it. Paul Frambot, Mathis Gontier Delaunay, and Merlin Egalite founded the project in Paris in August 2021. Because it is a set of smart contracts rather than a blockchain, Morpho relies on the consensus of the chain it runs on. Its MORPHO token is used for governance, with a fixed cap of 1 billion; it launched as non-transferable in 2022 and became transferable in November 2024.
