Morpho is a decentralized lending protocol that lets people and apps lend, borrow, and build on open, permissionless rails. It runs on the Ethereum Virtual Machine and supports ERC20 and ERC4626 tokens.
At its core, Morpho is a non-custodial system. Users keep ownership of their assets in smart contracts. Markets are created in a permissionless way, which lets the ecosystem list new collateral and loan assets without gatekeepers.
Morpho is designed as a base lending layer. It aims to be simple, immutable, and efficient so other projects can build on top. Developers can plug in through SDKs and APIs, create Morpho Vaults and Markets, and curate strategies that balance yield, liquidity, and risk.
How Morpho works
Morpho uses overcollateralized lending. You deposit collateral and can borrow another asset against it within set loan-to-value limits. Interest rates adjust with market conditions, and the protocol has liquidation rules that protect lenders if a borrower’s health factor falls.
Key ideas:
- Collateralization: you must lock more value than you borrow.
- Risk protection: liquidations bring positions back to safety when needed.
- Open participation: anyone can lend or borrow through the contracts.
- Non-custodial design: funds are held by code, not by a company.
Governance and contributors
The MORPHO token powers governance that sets and updates parameters for the protocol. A France-registered Morpho Association coordinates core contributors and hosts one of the web interfaces. Multiple front ends can interact with the same smart contracts, which supports decentralization.
