On June 10, a16z Crypto published an article detailing why it, along with Paradigm and Ribbit, co-led a $175 million funding round for the decentralized lending protocol Morpho. a16z views on-chain lending as 'the next frontier of credit' and a crucial technology node for human prosperity, believing that an open credit network based on blockchain can lower infrastructure costs, create a more competitive credit market, and provide broader access to capital and returns. a16z noted that when it first engaged with the Morpho team in 2022, founder Paul Frambot was still in university but had already gathered nearly all of France's top blockchain talent. The team's innovative on-chain lending optimizer achieves a Pareto improvement in interest rates by coordinating peer-to-peer loans on top of underlying peer-to-pool protocols, symbolizing a transformation for the global financial system. In 2024, Morpho will launch the Morpho Blue protocol, focusing on over-collateralized loans of crypto assets with floating interest rates and variable terms. Now, Morpho is moving towards a larger vision—to become the open credit network of the internet. The next product, Morpho Midnight, will support fixed-rate term on-chain loans collateralized by traditional assets, equipped with customizable KYC tools. Crucially, customers can launch their own lending markets based on Morpho's infrastructure while sharing the network's liquidity and network effects. a16z believes we are at a critical window for disrupting traditional credit systems and building a more open and efficient credit network.
