anchored·4aLXUW…A3b5Summary
Morpho is a France-founded, venture-backed decentralized lending protocol that has evolved from the Morpho Optimizer (a peer-to-peer overlay on Aave and Compound) into Morpho Blue, an immutable, isolated-market lending primitive, plus a permissionless third-party curator/vault layer (MetaMorpho / Vault V2). The core Morpho Blue contracts are widely audited and have not themselves been directly exploited, but the permissionless curator-vault model has been repeatedly implicated in bad-debt and liquidation events tied to specific curators, oracles, and collateral assets (notably the November 2025 Stream Finance xUSD collapse and an earlier Resolv USR depeg), which the protocol's own team and independent researchers describe as failures isolated to individual vaults/curators rather than the base protocol. AVOID separately tracks one specific market in more depth at the existing page leadblocks-morpho-blue-market; this page covers the protocol as a whole.
