In this episode, Paul Frambot, Co-founder and CEO of Morpho Labs, joined us to discuss the history of Morpho, TAM and network effects for primitive protocols, and what Morpho does today. Additionally, he gave his thoughts why a simple codebase is important, and how TradFi distribution will come onchain. Finally, we unpacked the recent trends in DeFi, importing yield, and institutional adoption of crypto.
Thanks for tuning in!
