Morpho (MORPHO)
🧠 Core Idea
Morpho improves capital efficiency in DeFi lending markets.
Normally, on Aave or Compound, lenders earn interest and borrowers pay interest — but there’s a “spread” (difference) between the two.
Morpho matches lenders and borrowers directly, giving both sides better rates while still keeping funds secure in the underlying protocol.
⚙️ How It Works
Peer-to-peer matching layer: Optimizes rates between users.
Underlying protocol fallback: If a match isn’t found, funds remain in Aave or Compound, ensuring safety.
Smart contracts: Automate matching and interest adjustment transparently.
