Building at Keyring Network

[Michael Bentley @euler_mab]

I'm surprised people are giving Morpho a hard time over this raise.

They asked for the tokens from the DAO for development and growth, received them, and seemingly sold them OTC via an investment round to fund development and growth. Nothing wrong with that.

It would be moronic to telegraph the investment round in the DAO ask itself. No sane investor would agree to that.

The fact no one bothered to participate in DAO governance is a DAO problem, not a Morpho problem.

And I saw someone else complain about them needing so much money to write 1000 lines of code. As if the code was ever the product.

The core of Morpho was built in 2020. Kashi built Morpho Blue and Yearn built Morpho vaults.

You could build a better (IMO) and more functional Morpho on Euler today in 20 minutes if you want to.

The code isn't the product, it never was, their liquidity is. And that's what they've been spending all their treasury on, and what's made it so hard for others like Euler to ever compete.

As much as it pains me, hats off to them.

If you work in payments, compliance, or policy, we need your input.

We published a draft definition of what counts as an onchain payment. The goal: safe, frictionless, compliant transactions across every network.

Is this the right starting point? Read it and weigh in. This becomes a standard only if the right voices shape it. → https://t.co/uAewVXuw7T
