🦋 About Morpho

Morpho is a leading Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lending protocol that recently secured $50 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, a16z crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Variant, Brevan Howard, Pantera, Blocktower, and 50 others to support its mission of revolutionizing lending with an open, efficient, and resilient platform. Morpho is experiencing explosive growth, with over $3 billion in assets supplied on the protocol. In just 6 months, Morpho's new permissionless protocol, Morpho Blue, grew from 0 to $2 billion, solidifying itself as the new standard for DeFi lending.
