ChainCatcher news, according to the official announcement, OKX will soon launch MORPHO (Morpho). Morpho is a decentralized lending protocol that supports over-collateralized lending of crypto assets (ERC20 and ERC4626 tokens) on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The specific schedule is as follows:MORPHO deposit opening time: November 20, 2:00 PM (UTC+8)MORPHO auction time period: November 21, 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM (UTC+8)MORPHO/USDT spot trading opening time: November 21, 6:00 PM (UTC+8)MORPHO withdrawal opening time: November 22, 6:00 PM (UTC+8)

ChainCatcher news, DeFi lending protocol Morpho Labs announced that the preparation for MORPHO is complete, and the token transfer function will be enabled on November 21.MORPHO is the governance token of the Morpho protocol. The Morpho DAO (composed of MORPHO holders and delegates) is responsible for managing the Morpho protocol. The governance system uses a weighted voting system, where the number of MORPHO tokens held determines the voting power.

ChainCatcher message, according to data released by the Morpho social media platform X (Twitter), the total deposits of the lending protocol Morpho's core product Morpho Markets have surpassed $2 billion.It is reported that Morpho Markets is a simple, immutable single loan and collateral asset market (corresponding to the original market layer mentioned above), which grants high autonomy to the creators of the lending market. Anyone can deploy an independent lending market by specifying a collateral asset, a loan asset, an interest rate model (IRM), a liquidation loan-to-value (LLTV), and the oracle to be accessed.

ChainCatcher message, regarding "Morpho lost about $230,000 due to oracle configuration errors," Morpho responded in a post on X stating: "The protocol provides permissionless infrastructure, creating an open market for risk curation. While errors may occasionally occur in risk management, the underlying protocol remains secure and resilient. We will continue to equip curators with powerful tools to reduce the likelihood and impact of such occurrences."

ChainCatcher news, Chaos Labs founder Omer tweeted that the PAXG/USDC market on Morpho lost approximately $230,000 due to an oracle configuration error.Specifically, the Oracle SCALE_FACTOR configuration on Morpho failed to account for the difference between USDC (6 decimal places) and PAXG (18 decimal places), which resulted in a 12-digit inflation of the PAXG price, and the security monitoring may have focused on the reference price rather than the calculated oracle price. Ultimately, the attacker deposited $350 worth of PAXG and borrowed $230,000 worth of USDC.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Defiant, the fintech platform SwissBorg, which focuses on cryptocurrency and serves the European market, has announced the launch of a yield-generating USDC Earn product utilizing the Morpho protocol. This new product is now available to users of the SwissBorg app, providing access to a customized Morpho Vault for a Web2 audience.It is reported that the product can access Morpho's WBTC/USDC and wstETH/USDC markets, marking the first use of Morpho's Vaults in a CeFi environment.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Centrifuge has partnered with Morpho and Coinbase to launch an RWA lending market aimed at institutions. This market relies on Coinbase's Layer 2 network Base and the Morpho Vaults system, using three tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds as collateral, including Centrifuge's Anemoy fund, Midas's short-term U.S. Treasury bonds (mTBILL), and Hashnote's U.S. Yield Coin (USYC). This is the first time Ethereum-driven Coinbase validation has been used in the lending market, aiming to provide instant liquidity without the need to redeem U.S. Treasuries.

ChainCatcher news, the DeFi lending protocol Morpho has initiated a community discussion regarding the transferability of the MORPHO token. Morpho stated that since July 15, 2022, the Morpho Association has deployed the MORPHO token as a non-transferable asset.Non-transferability allows the Morpho DAO to develop the Morpho protocol and enables users and contributors who align with Morpho's long-term vision to gain ownership of the network. However, to further advance Morpho's mission of making financial infrastructure a public good, everyone must be able to access ownership and governance of the network. To this end, the MORPHO token must become transferable.According to data from the crypto platform RootData, in August of this year, Morpho completed a $50 million financing round, led by Ribbit Capital, with participation from Hack VC, IOSG, Rockaway, L1D, Mirana, Cherry, Semantic, Fenbushi, Leadblock Bitpanda, and Robot Ventures. The valuation has not been disclosed. Heavyweights participating in the private token sale include a16z crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Variant, Pantera, Brevan Howard, BlockTower, and Kraken Ventures.

ChainCatcher news, NDV co-founder Christian posted on social media that he has provided $6.5 million in liquidity to the stablecoin protocol Usual's treasury on Morpho. Christian believes that the best products should balance and incorporate the following points:Actively seek the highest risk-free yield across the industry;From a security perspective, deeply explore all avenues of interest generation, not just looking at the surface; consider performance in various extreme scenarios and conduct thorough audits;Have a deep understanding of liquidity; scale does not always mean safety. For example, in the case of a stablecoin/yield-generating asset, do not just look at the current liquidity in DEXs, but examine how the underlying mechanism supports de-pegging during a run;Maximize efforts to the extreme, which means squeezing partners for maximum incentives while aiming to minimize fee costs under a shared profit model;Consider any mindset a user might have, starting from the perspective of large holders/institutions with millions of dollars, while also trying to understand the mindset of users with only a hundred dollars in their pockets;Always maintain a tension in thinking between centralization and decentralization, determining where centralized solutions should be used to address barriers and cost issues, and where it is essential to maintain decentralization and transparent credit establishment.

ChainCatcher message, Morpho Labs posted on X: "We have received reports that malicious actors are sending a phishing email via Survey Monkey, claiming to offer early access to MORPHO tokens.This is a scam, please ignore it. There is no early access to MORPHO. Currently, the only way to earn MORPHO is by providing liquidity or borrowing on Morpho."
