Morpho Blue: Unlocking A New Foundation for DeFi Lending

Paul Frambot is the CoFounder and CEO at Morpho Labs.

In this episode, we discuss the soon to be released Morpho Blue protocol, which promises to unlock a new foundation for DeFi lending. Morpho V1 is already the third largest lending platform on Ethereum with over $1B in deposited assets. However, the CoFounder of Morpho Labs explains why there are inherent limitations to the current DeFi lending landscape and how Morpho Blue (Morpho V2) will solve for this as a more trustless and efficient lending primitive with permissionless market creation.
