Morpho: Developing Foundational Infrastructure for DeFi Lending

In this episode, we sit down with Paul Frambot, CEO and co-founder of Morpho Labs, a team contributing to the development of the Morpho Protocol. Paul shares insights into Morpho's unique approach to governance, scalability, and the shift from monolithic to modular lending protocols.

Morpho aims to provide a foundational infrastructure layer for lending, allowing users to build specific experiences on top of it. They work with existing protocols and teams to externalize risk management and enable liquidity allocation across different markets.
