Merlin Egalite 🕛@MerlinEgalite·
We’ve just raised $175M in a round co-led by @paradigm, @a16zcrypto, and @RibbitCapital. And this is the largest raise in DeFi history. The current financial system is broken. Access to capital still depends on where you live, who you know, and which intermediaries are willing to trust you. The only way to fix that is to build a new infrastructure, and that’s @Morpho. Moving trillions to a completely new infrastructure requires an enormous amount of energy, conviction, and resources. This is why we raised. This moment also lets us take a step back and appreciate Morpho's growth throughout the years, from a project started by four students to being integrated with the world's leading financial institutions. I’m incredibly proud of the way we scaled: consciously, staying aligned as co-founders (perhaps not on whether butter should have salt in it or not, but that's another story), 100% focused on Morpho and nothing else, and growing the Morpho team into one of the best (if not the best!) and most principled teams building in DeFi. In the months ahead, a big part of the work will be bringing Morpho to more teams and institutions: better integrations, better onboarding, better support, and a stronger go-to-market overall. If we do our job well, the long-term outcome is clear: Morpho becomes the open credit network for the world, embedded into every financial institution, and changing the financial system for the better. 🦋

Perhaps one of the best book on how to deal with humans.

@MerlinEgalite One of my favorites👏. Also helpful for how humans can “deal with” you.

New curator alert: @galaxyhq is joining the Morpho network. 🦋 Adding Galaxy, a leading digital asset firm with $12B in AUM, is a great addition that'll help diversify our curator ecosystem and cater to more risk profiles and needs. That's how you build a truly open credit network that can serve every corner of the global credit market.

Galaxy joins Morpho as curator with the launch of its institutional stablecoin vaults. As a global leader in digital assets, @galaxyhq is bringing its expertise from traditional markets to the Morpho ecosystem. Asset curation is here to stay.

"But the hard part was never the technology. It's trust." Technology is just a means to an end; blockchain has enabled the capacity to move and exchange data/value in a trustless way, hence collapsing friction and the price of trust. Morpho will be that market for pricing any entity's trustworthiness. And @airbnb will be able to use it to let their users borrow against future cash flow, shares of a house, etc.

Discussions around securities backed loans are heating up, especially stocks as collateral. For stocks there's consideration around stock split but feels that ERC-8056 solves this + oracles / curators are working on it already. TLDR stocks are coming earlier than you think.

@MerlinEgalite You should read « de Feux et de Sang » from Junger . Even more intense than Orage d’acier

Latest readings recently: - Storm of Steel, Enst Junger -> the journal of a german WWI soldier that gives you a very raw view of the tragedy of war. - Wind, Sand and Stars, Antoine de Saint Exupéry -> very well written (at least in french), makes you think about life, death, experience, and what is worth living - Essentialism, Greg McKeown -> reflects a lot our philosophy at Morpho. also very practical to save you time and consider only doing what truly matters. do less to enable more - The Order of Time, Carlo Rovelli -> time is such a fascinating concept, we all experience it but have no deep understanding of it. highly recommend for everyone curious people about physics concepts

@MerlinEgalite great short summaries here. I'll have to check out Essentialism. Was a big fan of McKeown's Effortless. On a side note, are you open to the press?
