Morpho, DeFi's second-largest lending protocol by value locked, has officially named its long-in-development fixed-rate product: Morpho Midnight.
Co-founder and CEO Paul Frambot announced the name on X today, April 14, emphasizing that Midnight is not a sequel to Morpho Blue. "It is a completely new paradigm for onchain lending, and should not be considered a 'V2' of Blue," Frambot wrote.
The distinction is structural, according to Frambot’s X post. Morpho Blue offers pool-based, open-term variable-rate markets with externalized risk management. Midnight introduces intent-based, fixed-term, fixed-rate markets with externalized management of both risk as well as rate, a different mechanism for pricing and matching lenders and borrowers.
