We've been building on top of Morpho [TBA] for months now, and I can attest, it's a total paradigm shift. Morpho [TBA] will offer highly efficient and flexible market infrastructure to build lending markets way beyond what's possible with the simple pool-based primitives we have today.
Think markets to borrow stablecoins against RWAs, FX, or structure bespoke P2P agreements. With fixed rates you can actually scale these markets with infra that's better than what Tradfi can offer.
We've been building multiple products and features on top of Morpho [TBA] to create the best platform for asset managers and large scale borrowers to access these onchain markets with
@tenorfinance. Think highly configurable bespoke agreements, auto-renewal features, advanced offer types, organization role based access control via vaults, all with a snappy interface. Incredibly excited for both to launch in the coming months.
Also the Morpho [TBA] name goes extremely hard 👀
As we approach the official release of Morpho’s fixed rate markets protocol it’s becoming clear that it should not be seen as an iteration of the existing Morpho variable rate markets (today known as Markets V1). It is a completely new paradigm that’s unlike anything DeFi has seen before.
Fixed rate markets are an extension of Morpho's offering, not a replacement. Variable rate markets remain a foundational part of DeFi for the few years to come. The two will complement one another.
For that reason, we’re drop the versioning naming we've been using up until now, and the protocols will no longer be named Markets V1 and Markets V2. We’re changing:
Markets V1 → Morpho “Blue” (as it was originally) Markets V2 → Morpho “[TBA]”
Blue introduced permissionless open-term variable rate markets, with externalized risk management. [TBA] will introduce fixed term, fixed rate, intent lending, with externalized risk and rate management. A completely different structure for pricing and matching that will take Morpho from $10B to $100B .
As a side note: Morpho Vaults retain versioning because Vaults V2 is a direct improvement designed to supersede Vaults V1, exactly what versioning is meant to signal.
It has been an incredibly hard 2 years of building [TBA], but we are very excited to share more information about Morpho fixed-rate markets soon.
