We’re building Tenor with a strong commitment to security.
That means a codebase built on @Morpho Midnight 🕛, 5 independent audits by leading firms, formal verification using the Certora prover, AI-assisted reviews, a bug bounty program, and ongoing monitoring using @blockaid_

Tenor is open-sourcing a new @Morpho-compatible oracle: the Oracle with Validation, a simple contract incorporating a circuit breaker to improve oracle robustness.
Price oracles are a critical point of failure in onchain lending. Tenor's Oracle with Validation adds an extra layer of defense.
The Tenor smart contracts are now public.
A set of opt-in contracts that extend @Morpho Midnight 🕛 with auto-renewal functionality, lend limit orders that earn the variable rate until they fill, migration callbacks, liquidation grace periods, gated markets, and more.
Vault Summit NYC will be held at the @NYSE
Hosted by @Morpho.
Capital allocation, vault infrastructure, institutional curation. Conversations that will define how capital moves onchain for generations.

Fixed-rate, fixed-term onchain lending markets will unlock new features necessary for institutional adoption.

The next unlock in DeFi is turning protocols into products built for institutions — keeping what makes DeFi powerful (immutable, non-custodial code) while adding the control more sophisticated players need: isolated markets, user-set rates, renewal policies, gates, liquidation grace periods, and onchain circuit breakers.
Great post from @pat_mayr on higher order DeFi
I feel like non-custodiality is deeply underrated and misunderstood.
Once you're truly non-custodial, by definition, there is no one to hack who can take custody of your funds.
This is why we spent so much time building the Morpho Stack as immutable, and vaults that are fully onchain with timelocks.
M̶o̶r̶p̶h̶o̶ ̶M̶a̶r̶k̶e̶t̶s̶ ̶V̶2̶ -> Morpho Midnight
For those wanting an early look at what we've been building on Midnight, Morpho's new intent-based fixed rate lending protocol — reach out. We're kicking off the Tenor Private Beta in the coming weeks as Midnight and Tenor contracts move through audits
We've been building on top of Morpho [TBA] for months now, and I can attest, it's a total paradigm shift. Morpho [TBA] will offer highly efficient and flexible market infrastructure to build lending markets way beyond what's possible with the simple pool-based primitives we have today.
Think markets to borrow stablecoins against RWAs, FX, or structure bespoke P2P agreements. With fixed rates you can actually scale these markets with infra that's better than what Tradfi can offer.
We've been building multiple products and features on top of Morpho [TBA] to create the best platform for asset managers and large scale borrowers to access these onchain markets with @tenorfinance. Think highly configurable bespoke agreements, auto-renewal features, advanced offer types, organization role based access control via vaults, all with a snappy interface. Incredibly excited for both to launch in the coming months.
Also the Morpho [TBA] name goes extremely hard 👀
As we approach the official release of Morpho’s fixed rate markets protocol it’s becoming clear that it should not be seen as an iteration of the existing Morpho variable rate markets (today known as Markets V1). It is a completely new paradigm that’s unlike anything DeFi has seen before.
Fixed rate markets are an extension of Morpho's offering, not a replacement. Variable rate markets remain a foundational part of DeFi for the few years to come. The two will complement one another.
For that reason, we’re drop the versioning naming we've been using up until now, and the protocols will no longer be named Markets V1 and Markets V2. We’re changing:
Markets V1 → Morpho “Blue” (as it was originally) Markets V2 → Morpho “[TBA]”
Blue introduced permissionless open-term variable rate markets, with externalized risk management. [TBA] will introduce fixed term, fixed rate, intent lending, with externalized risk and rate management. A completely different structure for pricing and matching that will take Morpho from $10B to $100B+.
As a side note: Morpho Vaults retain versioning because Vaults V2 is a direct improvement designed to supersede Vaults V1, exactly what versioning is meant to signal.
It has been an incredibly hard 2 years of building [TBA], but we are very excited to share more information about Morpho fixed-rate markets soon.
Morpho V2 is what the bond market would look like if it were rebuilt from first principles with Turing completeness
This will become abundantly clear in the year of our lord 2026 inshallah
Morpho Markets v2 will make it possible to bring virtually any offchain lending agreement onchain.
Customizable rates, terms, grace periods, counterparties, collateral requirements (if any).
2026 will be a turning point for onchain lending
