I'm excited to share that Morpho secured $50m in funding led by Ribbit Capital. There was also participation from @a16z @coinbase @variantfund @PanteraCapital and 50+ others who will help guide the future of Morpho. From a student project to one of the fastest-growing and now premier DeFi protocols, Morpho has come a long way. In just 2 years, it went from 0$ to $3B in deposits and evolved into a fully independent financial infrastructure. This funding will help: → Grow the Morpho Ecosystem outside the (still self-referential) DeFi space leveraging Ribbit's fintech portfolio companies like @RevolutApp, @RobinhoodApp, @nubank. → Consolidate the Morpho Stack by creating products servicing users of all types. → Develop our vision of building finance like the early internet: by building transparent, efficient & open protocols. → Hire incredible talents sharing this vision: jobs.morpho.org Thank you to all our partners, individuals, friends, and families who helped us along the way. Morpho is just getting started. Let’s make financial infrastructure a public good 💙

Just fixed the current human quests for you: - create and enslave a God - create and control a Sun - cheat Death - create the Universal Lending Network

@Bookof_Eth dead 🥲

@MerlinEgalite First they ignore you. Then they fight you. Then they join your Slack and send pepes.

you can tell we're entering a completely new era when instits can set up shared slack channels

@kicktodown they're sending Morpho pepe, everything's working as planned

@MerlinEgalite bro instits bout to send gm gifs and ask for updates in bullet points new era fr but the vibe wont change

@curator_watch banger

It’s 2050. The entire financial system runs onchain. Everyone, from humans to agents, everywhere from Earth to Mars, can get near-instant access to capital with the best terms by leveraging their identity, reputation, proof of work, or any trust credential they own. Capital is moving at the speed of light to fuel ambition and the willingness to create a brighter future across the entire world. Powered by Morpho.

@klimonchain ahah still work to be done for sure

@MerlinEgalite meanwhile im still figuring out ledger and ai agents got better rates than me

Let's open the flood @Gate. Powered by @Morpho.

@tempo mainnet is live today and @Morpho will be powering lending there very soon. Payments at scale for humans and agents, with lending as part of the broader ecosystem being built on top.

The @ethereumfndn just allocated 3,400 ETH into Morpho Vaults! Their reasoning: Morpho is open source and immutable. A deliberate choice we made from day one, not just because we believe in DeFi's ethos, but because it's the only way to build real trust over time. In DeFi, the most trustworthy systems are the ones that do not ask you to trust anyone at all.

@raychix gud choice

@MerlinEgalite bro i just planted radishes im so early this time

Stop farming yield, start farming CROPS.

The DeFi Mullet just got much simpler to build! Really excited to see @privy_io launch DeFi vault access built on @Morpho. Devs can now connect apps to onchain lending markets through simple API calls, directly from Privy's wallet infra with no complicated setup 👀

The best tech doesn't necessarily win with enterprises bcs they don't optimize for upside (although i do think you should strive for it). They optimize for minimizing downside. This is why immutability, transparency & self-custody aren't just features at Morpho. They're risk-mitigation primitives that let enterprises control end-to-end their entire stack without trusting a 3rd party.

@FloB_Safe +1

@MerlinEgalite Less gambling, more protecting people's financial rights.

Great refresher on why crypto exists at all. Not for speculation, not for incremental improvements over a legacy financial system, but for solving real-world problems faced by billions of people worldwide from scratch. It's still day 1 in this long journey.

@curator_watch could have been haha

@MerlinEgalite Hmmmmmmmmm

I can't tell you what this is exactly, but I can tell you the morpho team is laser-focused on adding more colors to this chart 🎨

@sonyasunkim could have been!

@MerlinEgalite RWA collateral colooooors

@kugusha What about x.com/merlinegalite/…

Morpho [TBA] is going to fix the fix rate game. Stay tuned 👀
