Had a lot of fun doing this fireside chat with Jesse during Variant LP day.

Super grateful for the journey with Variant team since they co-led our seed round, more than 2years ago.
Senior operations roles are so underrated in crypto. Most founders are turbo autistic kids who have no idea how to run a company.
dat frame... will never get used to it
I bought half of @haydenzadams's unisocks yesterday. What should I do with it?
This was a very successful experiment!
Most people looking at the Morpho growth curve have no idea we had to deprecate another $2B dollar protocol this year 🫣
9 months ago @gauntlet left a $1.6M contract with Aave to build on Morpho.

Now @gauntlet is generating over $3.4M ARR on Morpho.

They don't need to be friends with me to be paid. They have full ownership of their contracts and fees.
For a long time, they said web3 experience was worse than web2. Now we are building something so much better than anything that exists.
Oh wow, Farcaster Frames X Morpho.

Deposit in Morpho from your Farcaster timeline! This is wild!
DeFi’s ideal App UX is:
- User comes with whatever wallet (EOA, smart account, …).
- No new address created.
- No new smart contract or wallet deployed.
- Minimal set of approvals, ideally only signatures and no tx.
- A single transaction, batching any set of interactions with any protocol (including those with callbacks)
- Gas can be sponsored.
- Only relies on trustless immutable code to work.

The Morpho protocol team has been cooking….
I love working in defi. The impact it will have on the world is so tangible now. So grateful.
Base growth is just starting

We did exceptional hires over the last few months, but we keep growing.

We opened up ~20 positions across all roles: eng (staff and leads), legal, finance, ops ...

If you are excited to disrupt lending and would like to join a highly focused team 👇

How does one celebrate thanksgiving in nyc when not american?
Wait, I did not even know we had passed $3B.
The speed at which my calendar gets filled with stuff while I am in nyc is quite crazy. This place is special for crypto.
Was a bit doubtful of Ledger Stax when it was announced, but have been using it for a month and it is actually an excellent product:
- decoded signatures (vhelpful on Safe)
- much less clicks
- easy to recognize ledgers with images and inscriptions
- the magnet is addictive
When Morpho Optimizer, Morpho’s first protocol, reached PMF, many urged us to launch the MORPHO token.

At the time, I strongly opposed this idea. Despite becoming a multi-billion dollar protocol, we lacked a clear path to truly disrupt lending in defi and beyond.

Now that Morpho (Blue) has also achieved PMF, and there are no foreseeable scaling limits to this model, I'm excited for the MORPHO token to become transferable on Thursday!
Just realized that Morpho is probably the only DeFi project that shipped two completely different protocols and got them both above $2B back-to-back 🦋
Heading to Bangkok today, this is going to be an exciting week for Morpho 🦋
I hate this kind of narrative, but DeFi Renaissance is truly what it feels like rn
I've been discussing Morpho with institutions for two years now.

Most of it has been unproductive, but the last six months have been markedly different.

DeFi’s time has come. It is all happening right now.
Going around the world to preach the Morpho good word until the end of the year:

Paris -> Zurich -> Bangkok -> Bali -> NYC -> Miami.
