Peer-to-peer lending with up to 30% better APY than Aave and Compound.
Morpho is a peer-to-peer lending protocol built on top of existing protocols like Aave and Compound. Rather than forcing all lenders and borrowers into a single pool, Morpho matches them directly with each other — lenders get higher APY, borrowers get lower rates, and excess value is captured by the users instead of middleman pools.
We maintain relationships with builders across ecosystems. Our coverage reflects boots-on-the-ground knowledge from governance forums and developer Discord channels.
Morpho Blue (launched in 2026) takes this further with a standalone lending primitive that allows anyone to create isolated lending markets with custom collateral and oracle configurations. This permissionless approach unlocked 200+ unique markets across Ethereum and Base.
If you supply USDC on Morpho, you're matched with actual borrowers — earning 10-30% more APY than you would on Aave or Compound's lending pool.
Users are matched directly first, capturing the spread that would go to a middleman.
Unmatched amounts fall back to Aave or Compound for guaranteed liquidity.
Anyone can deploy an isolated lending market with custom parameters.
APY improves by up to 30% vs. base protocols due to peer matching.
