1
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,800
Welcome to the epicenter of the 
show is talks about the 

2
00:00:15,808 --> 00:00:18,800
Technologies projects and people
driving decentralization and the

3
00:00:18,808 --> 00:00:21,100
blockchain revolution. 
I'm suggesting cuchillo and I'm 

4
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:23,900
here today with Medicare and 
just today, we're speaking with 

5
00:00:23,900 --> 00:00:27,400
botafogo who is CEO of more for 
labs, more for labs is building 

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,000
the Morpher protocol, which is a
default protocol that allows As 

7
00:00:30,008 --> 00:00:34,500
you to improve your borrow and 
lend apy on on lending 

8
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:36,900
protocols. 
So before we talk to Paul, I'd 

9
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:40,700
like to tell you about our 
sponsors this week, Omni is your

10
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:44,800
new favorite multi chain wallet 
on me, supports more than 25 

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,100
protocol so you can access all 
of your access your assets in 

12
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,100
one place. 
But what's really special about?

13
00:00:51,100 --> 00:00:53,300
Omni is what you can do inside 
the wallet. 

14
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:56,900
If you want to get yield Omni 
allows you to get the best apis 

15
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:59,900
with zero fees in three Taps if 
you need to swap. 

16
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:02,900
On the Aggregates all major 
Bridges and X's. 

17
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:06,000
So you can bridge and swap 
across all supportive. 

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,600
Networks in one transactions 
directly in your wallet. 

19
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:15,400
If you love and FTS Omni offers 
the best ft support any wall. 

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,700
It has so you can collect and 
manage your favorite and ftes 

21
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:23,200
across all chains in one place. 
Omni truly is the easiest way to

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,400
use web three and it's fully 
external meaning, you never have

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,500
to trust anyone of your assets, 
other than yourself, and they 

24
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:31,500
support legislation ER, give 
Omnia. 

25
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:35,600
Try at Omni dot app. 
So Paul thanks for joining us 

26
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:38,500
today. 
It's been a long time coming and

27
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:41,600
so yeah, happy to have you here.
Yeah, definitely. 

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,200
Thanks for having me. 
I'm super excited to join today.

29
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,700
As I mentioned before, I've been
listening for a center for as 

30
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:51,500
long as I was into crypto. 
So very excited to be here 

31
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:53,600
today. 
Super nice. 

32
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:56,100
So, how long exactly is that 
boy? 

33
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:59,900
Tell us about your background 
and what do you have to be 

34
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:02,400
formal foe? 
Yeah, definitely. 

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,800
I think my journey in crypto 
began when I was in high school 

36
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,800
and like, basically, you know, 
it was pure technical interest 

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,500
into blockchain up first. 
So is more into consensus 

38
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:18,500
algorithms and, and in Bitcoin 
in 2015-16 and really went into 

39
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:20,900
my stutters, did it, computer, 
science and math. 

40
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:25,500
Did a lot of work into like 
blockchain technology and how 

41
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,200
there's consensus algorithm 
could scale and ended up being 

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,200
interested. 
Specifically in if Theorem and 

43
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,300
more. 
The application layer is smart 

44
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:41,300
contracts and and then D Phi and
D Phi was really to me it's such

45
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:44,000
an interesting use case of 
blockchain Technology. 

46
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,200
That's a I could not do anything
else but work into that space so

47
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,100
I just thought I'd put some 
research efforts there and yeah,

48
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:54,100
this is how you know step by 
step. 

49
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:58,500
I came to to play around a 
protocols and I mean play around

50
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,600
theoretically I mean like 
playing was the Concepts of the 

51
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,500
protocol. 
I never really used defy in my 

52
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:08,000
previous, you know, before going
into awful. 

53
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,100
And then I started designing 
protocols, like more for it and 

54
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:15,700
came to do more for laps to drop
them off a protocol. 

55
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,500
So that's how I got into this 
basically. 

56
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,400
How come you never use / 
beforehand despite the fact that

57
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,400
you were quite knowledgeable 
about about it? 

58
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,700
So busy what was missing for you
to actually go, you know, 

59
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:35,200
headfirst into it and I think it
was as simple as gas costs. 

60
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:39,500
You know at the time I was like 
and I never invested in crypto 

61
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:43,000
specifically because I was too 
young to do. 

62
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,100
So at the time, like I did not 
pass my 18 years old and 

63
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:49,700
basically when I went into, To 
crypto. 

64
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,300
I like I could see you know all 
those girls exploding but they 

65
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:58,800
could not participate which was 
quite frustrating but then when 

66
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,200
time comes to play around with 
defy I was like gas price was 

67
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,600
completely out getting my season
portfolio basically. 

68
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,100
So that's probably the reason 
why but, you know, in practice I

69
00:04:10,108 --> 00:04:12,300
was more interested in Reading 
why peppers. 

70
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:15,800
And and you know, trying to make
sense of what, you know, you 

71
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,100
just hope was doing and what 
weights different from Some 

72
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:22,700
traditional Finance what it 
brings to traditional Finance. 

73
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:24,300
What could it? 
You know, what value? 

74
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:26,900
It could bring to the world in 
general, I think it's not a 

75
00:04:26,907 --> 00:04:29,400
question. 
We asked sufficiently often 

76
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,300
especially in Defy. 
Is like, what is the specific 

77
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:36,100
added value that we bring to the
end-user like if device Cal's to

78
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,100
to make billions of users? 
But yeah, I was it was more 

79
00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:43,100
intellectual interest. 
I would say that, you know, 

80
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:47,400
playing around So, I remember 
when you guys were just getting 

81
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,500
started and you you gave a talk 
at the Kiln office. 

82
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:54,500
I think it was probably one of 
the first talk to you gave and 

83
00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:57,700
you know, explaining the concept
of Morpho. 

84
00:04:57,700 --> 00:05:01,800
And you know what are the things
that I thought was just like 

85
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:07,000
wild about your story and the 
story of the team is that when 

86
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,100
more for launch, you guys are 
all still in school. 

87
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:17,700
And in fact, I think the idea 
for Morpho came from one of your

88
00:05:17,707 --> 00:05:19,700
professors. 
Can you maybe just retell that 

89
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:23,800
story and yeah? 
How the, how the idea come to 

90
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,700
be? 
And that definitely, I think so.

91
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:33,200
Back in I would say 2020, I had 
really two passions like the 

92
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,500
first one was blockchain 
technology and the second one 

93
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:39,000
was enterpreneurship. 
And so you know intrapreneurship

94
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,500
we often tell you like you have 
to get some sort of unfair 

95
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:47,300
Advantage such that You have 
something that you're that make 

96
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:50,200
you, you know, different from 
others and make you stand out. 

97
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,000
And this is how you become 
successful in entrepreneurship 

98
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:56,100
and was that in mines. 
I really love blockchain to, it 

99
00:05:56,100 --> 00:06:01,000
made sense to develop change 
stuff and I decided to my goal 

100
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,400
at the time was pretty 
ambitious. 

101
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,500
Was like, I want to be the most 
knowledgeable entrepreneur about

102
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:09,100
blockchain about the technical 
specifics about blockchain in 

103
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:11,800
France. 
And so I decided to take every 

104
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,600
single course unlike Sarah. 
A whole course on blockchain and

105
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,800
defy in Paris that existed. 
So I had like, you know, maybe 

106
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,100
10 or 11 courses on top of my 
existing courses at University 

107
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:28,700
that I would take. 
And I came to to meet some of 

108
00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:33,600
the best researchers in that 
space in Paris and and together,

109
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,600
we formed a think tank. 
And in that think tank we we 

110
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,400
basically met every, you know, 
twice, every every week, and 

111
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,300
basically, you know, just chat 
and discuss about mechanisms. 

112
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:45,900
What? 
I can do better about them and 

113
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:50,800
then I would say like more for 
is a construction, a collective 

114
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,800
construction of so many 
different ideas that all came 

115
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,700
together and that the premise of
it was during the same tank and 

116
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:03,100
like we had so many people 
saying hey like okay compound is

117
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:05,900
doing the things this way when 
it's out there doing this this 

118
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:09,500
way and what are the technical 
limitation to be able to have, 

119
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:13,400
you know, better 100% Capital 
efficiency while still being 

120
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,500
liquid? 
This kind of Russians and we 

121
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:18,000
ended up with the premise of 
more for. 

122
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,700
And then I said, okay, like 
let's get serious about this 

123
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:25,500
confounded more for labs and 
really regrouped a team of focal

124
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:27,500
Founders. 
That as you mentioned were 

125
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:31,500
students at the time, which was 
quite funny. 

126
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:37,300
But I mean somehow, you know, 
spending 10 years, 20 years in 

127
00:07:37,300 --> 00:07:41,200
investment Banks can sort of, 
you know, probably constrain 

128
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,100
your branch too much such that 
you would not think of No, doing

129
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:50,600
things and defy the same way, a 
student with no experience in 

130
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:52,600
traditional Finance. 
I mean, no professional 

131
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,000
experience would do this, is 
this is how we started. 

132
00:07:57,100 --> 00:08:02,200
And, actually, until six months 
ago, I was still going to school

133
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,000
and I just finished my head of 
state internship few, few few 

134
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,400
months ago. 
And I'm here to get my diploma, 

135
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,800
by the way, but that's, that's 
another story. 

136
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:15,200
Yeah. 
That's incredible. 

137
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,200
And you guys, you know, I think 
it's also been really 

138
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:25,600
interesting about your journey 
is that that like you guys have 

139
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,900
built this protocol and just a 
few months ago, closed a very 

140
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:35,000
impressive finding around with 
some pretty, top-tier VCS, how 

141
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,200
did that come to be? 
And what was the, what was the 

142
00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:41,500
kind of Journey to getting, you 
know, a sixth easy, and all 

143
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:43,299
these, all these investors on 
board? 

144
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:45,500
Yeah, I think it's a good 
question. 

145
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:50,300
So maybe first just like to 
mention that it was during a 

146
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:52,500
market conditions that were 
quite favorable. 

147
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,400
Of course, it does not do it at 
everything, but like, that's 

148
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,900
probably not something that 
would be as easily doable. 

149
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:02,300
I don't mean it was easy, it was
hard to do, but it was maybe 

150
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:05,100
even harder in those market 
conditions, obviously. 

151
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,100
But basically, at the time we 
just had the concepts but it was

152
00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:14,200
such a zero to one in terms of 
mechanism design and Observe 

153
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,400
like how the team internally at 
mobs is conceptualizing. 

154
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,100
And thinking about Defy is like 
maybe we'll have the chance to 

155
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:25,700
talk about it was radically 
different from what other 

156
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:29,000
Protocols are doing in terms of 
you know Landing but also in 

157
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,400
terms of Dexter's excetera. 
So we really wanted to be very 

158
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,700
very Innovative and at the same 
time so we had very very 

159
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:42,600
Innovative mechanisms and at the
same time we had a products that

160
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,800
made so much each sense. 
Right again we'll probably talk 

161
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,000
about it but it was a pure 
Improvement of something that 

162
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,500
already had a huge markets and 
probably the biggest Market 15 

163
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:55,400
in hold. 
If I at the time which was 

164
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,000
basically collateralized lending
on Aven and compounds and Morpho

165
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,400
is literally like a improvements
of that. 

166
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,600
And so this is where like hey 
like this thing is working, it 

167
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,700
has a huge Market, this is Ivan 
compound. 

168
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,600
But more for is here is I have 
like fresh new The think about 

169
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,500
things differently, but on top 
of that, they provide a product 

170
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:19,600
that is same risk. 
Parameters. 

171
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,300
Same liquidity. 
And has better rates so that 

172
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:25,600
could not fail. 
And I mean, this is what they 

173
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,300
said to them. 
When investing, at least really,

174
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:30,300
I think this is like, pretty 
much the story. 

175
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:34,100
It was the rounds last round of 
funding that we did, is mainly 

176
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:36,600
composed of American visas, 
which I think is worth 

177
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,800
mentioning because we struggled 
in Europe before being 

178
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,700
successful in the u.s. like the 
story somehow had more. 

179
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:49,000
Or fit with the US visas like 
European business was like, 

180
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,800
we're probably, you know, maybe 
not as, as well as from the does

181
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,000
the American ones, but I just 
thought it was interesting to 

182
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,800
see how of a gap that was 
between the reaction in the u.s.

183
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,500
versus in Europe. 
So, yeah, I'd probably 

184
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:04,900
something. 
I don't know, some sort of fits,

185
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:07,100
it is, I don't really explain it
to be on it. 

186
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:11,000
Cool. 
So we've talked a bit about the 

187
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,400
setting. 
Let's dig into the protocol 

188
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,600
maybe before we kind of get into
the weeds in a nutshell. 

189
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,900
You already said that. 
Basically, it's a protocol that 

190
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:24,800
centers around lending and 
borrowing and it strictly 

191
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:31,200
improves on compound and Ava why
these are 40 claim and so can 

192
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,500
you talk about what the protocol
does in a nutshell? 

193
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,800
Yeah, absolutely. 
So Morphers The Landing protocol

194
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,200
so basically, you'll Annenberg 
crypto assets on mofo the same 

195
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,500
way you would do. 
And I have a compound order, 

196
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,800
whatever Landing protocol of a 
collateralized lending protocol 

197
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,300
bag system in D5. 
So basically, when you're 

198
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:56,800
Landing, there is a bar that 
comes that put some collateral 

199
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,800
to work and borrow your money, 
and it's a very low risk low 

200
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,800
rewards profile, because every 
loan that is taken, is Cured by 

201
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,100
some collateral. 
So in case the collateral cannot

202
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:13,600
be backing the fully the loan, 
then the liquidation happened. 

203
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,300
And so in every case, the lender
should, if equations are 

204
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:20,500
working, well, be able to have 
some sort of risk free. 

205
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:24,100
Yeah, yells. 
So in terms of product, this is 

206
00:12:24,100 --> 00:12:27,200
what it is. 
And now, what's different from 

207
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,900
Ivan compound is, actually that 
mofo is built on top of a van 

208
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:35,300
compound. 
So if you have compound, you 

209
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:38,100
have an instant Morpho called 
more for compounds. 

210
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,100
That is working on top of 
contact. 

211
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:44,500
Same thing for a be, there is 
other protocol and there is more

212
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:47,800
for every protocol that is built
on top of morph have a. 

213
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:53,300
And basically, why is that? 
So it's because morph is going 

214
00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:56,000
to optimize our way and it's 
going to optimize Combi. 

215
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,400
So, the question is, what do we 
have to optimize? 

216
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,200
And if you go to our website or 
to camp on website, if you look 

217
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:08,400
at the rates you you quickly, Is
that you have a huge spread 

218
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:12,500
between the landing and the 
borrowing rates, like 1% to land

219
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:14,400
or 3% to borrow. 
Okay. 

220
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:19,600
Basically, the reason why that 
spread is is because those 

221
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,200
protocols the weather work. 
Deeply needs to have a ton of 

222
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:29,500
either liquidity in them that is
not put to work and that is 

223
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:33,100
going to induce this bread. 
So it's let's say Capital 

224
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:38,100
inefficiency, we can dig into 
that baby if But without getting

225
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:41,400
into the details that have, you 
know, this is Matt realized by a

226
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,900
spreads which more for is going 
to optimize by just taking the 

227
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:46,500
mid right. 
For example, and say, hey 

228
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,100
instead of landing at one, using
more farther, you'll be lending 

229
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:52,300
it to. 
And instead of borrowing a free,

230
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:54,000
you'll be buying at two or more 
far away. 

231
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,600
So that's the overall concept. 
You get better rates on Avedon, 

232
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,300
more fun, more flavor than a V 
and you preserve all the, the 

233
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,300
risk parameters that you had an 
IV. 

234
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:08,200
So you get the same. 
Cultural factors and and sort of

235
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,400
this sort of things and you get 
access to the same liquidity, 

236
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,500
which is like billions of 
dollars on eBay. 

237
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:21,100
How do you manage to actually 
get the apy down from the borrow

238
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:26,100
AP wire from compounding up from
the Lend apy from compound. 

239
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:30,400
Yes, that's a good question. 
So in order to understand that 

240
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:33,700
we have to explain how the 
mechanism Works in a vase. 

241
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:37,000
So basically don't have a or 
compound basically lets head a 

242
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,200
pool because they're working. 
Very, very similarly, you have 

243
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,400
basically many lenders or it's 
applying to the same pool of 

244
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:50,100
capital and you have very few 
bars and those powers are paying

245
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:52,600
three and those lenders are 
earning one. 

246
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:57,700
And the reason why that is is 
because the numerous land I'll 

247
00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:01,600
going to share the earnings 
generated by the few borrows, 

248
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,800
the three is going to divide it 
into multiple ones, given across

249
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,200
all the put. 
So yields generated by Burrows 

250
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,600
is diluted across all the book. 
It says, the reason why more for

251
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,800
is more Capital. 
Efficient is based basically 

252
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:21,000
saying, hey, your are lending 
producer, you are borrowing from

253
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:23,900
from other, for example, you're 
learning from IV, when 

254
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:27,000
basically, you could be lending 
and borrowing at to, like, I'm I

255
00:15:27,008 --> 00:15:30,000
mean, the concept is simple, 
like, I'm landing at 2%, 

256
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,600
someone's. 
He really could take my my load 

257
00:15:32,700 --> 00:15:36,000
my deposit for 2% of a boring 
API. 

258
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,500
And this is what more for does 
more for is building. 

259
00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:42,600
A peer-to-peer matching engine 
that is built on top of the 

260
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,900
landing pool that enables 
Landing pool users to be much 

261
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:48,100
product here. 
Whenever there is an opportunity

262
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:51,300
to increase their rate, either A
lender or to decrease the rates 

263
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:54,700
in there are Barra, so it's a 
small Improvement it represents.

264
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:59,000
Basically, what it means is 
instead Of having a diluted 

265
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
share of the capital that is put
to work. 

266
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,400
They get older Capital that is 
put to work which results in an 

267
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,300
increase of like plus 0.5 + 1 % 
EP Y, which is reasonable in 

268
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:13,000
this market conditions, to be 
honest, how people dealt with 

269
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,400
the spread before more 
followers, were there any other 

270
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,300
Solutions or like other attempts
to try to reduce this spread? 

271
00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:24,600
I mean, you guys are doing it by
matching 40's and lenders 

272
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,500
directly in a sort of 
peer-to-peer way. 

273
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:33,100
Are there other approaches that 
one can can Implement here to 

274
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:36,600
have a better efficiency of 
capital when doing lending? 

275
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:40,000
Yeah, absolutely. 
There's many different ways that

276
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,300
could work. 
We went through a very specific 

277
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:47,000
implementation before Morpho. 
One of, the reason why nobody 

278
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,800
went for something, I would say 
more for similar is because 

279
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,200
actually this spreads was hidden
by liquidity mining. 

280
00:16:56,700 --> 00:17:02,100
So As of contacts into certain 
20 21, 22 lending. 

281
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:05,599
Protocols spend a lot of money 
Distributing tokens to their 

282
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:10,200
users and you had a 1%, you 
know, USD, see if you are your 

283
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,700
three percent barring a peony 
Rose to see, but on each side of

284
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,900
the market would get distributed
to percent in which case you'll 

285
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:21,200
get a much better. 
If you are in this spread, I 

286
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,300
would say virtually or 
artificially is disappearing. 

287
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,000
And probably the reason why no 
one came Umm, you know, for a 

288
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
solution like more for before is
because there were doubtful 

289
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,100
about the fact that we was was 
ever going to stop a day or not.

290
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,000
And and we really started 
innovation of mofo by betting 

291
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:44,200
that you know rewards I wouldn't
we're not going to stand like 

292
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,800
forever, right? 
This is basically Protocols are 

293
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,100
losing money and meeting rewards
so they could not do that 

294
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:52,600
forever which they stopped 
pretty much the day. 

295
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,900
We will not we launched more for
so so that would be one of 

296
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,800
Reasons why, second reason, why 
would probably be the complexity

297
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,800
of it. 
It's not so easy to do 

298
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,200
obviously, but does not mean 
like the one would have ever 

299
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,700
done it especially if we manage 
to do it, to do it, but I said 

300
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:12,800
those are the two biggest 
fraction to actually make it. 

301
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,300
Okay, so I kind of, I want to 
talk about how it works on a 

302
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:21,300
nitty-gritty level, before I go 
to like the economics of it. 

303
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:22,400
Does it work for you? 
Boy. 

304
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:26,000
Absolutely fantastic. 
So let's talk about the matching

305
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
engine. 
So basically say, I want to post

306
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,200
a position to lend some Capital.
What do I do? 

307
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,300
Do I post a message or do I 
already? 

308
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,900
I mean, do I have to pay gas for
my transaction? 

309
00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:40,500
Yes. 
Absolutely. 

310
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:46,900
So the matching engine is fully 
And so, basically more for is a 

311
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:51,200
smart contract, it's completely 
unchanged and it's a smart 

312
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,500
contract plugged on top of RV or
compounds. 

313
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,600
Where users instead of 
interacting with Ava directly 

314
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,400
and using the supplied borrow 
withdrawal repay functions of 

315
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,200
the problem is, it would be 
using the supply border with 

316
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,400
Israel, repay functions of more 
flow. 

317
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,400
And then more for is going to, 
let's say as a lender, let's 

318
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,100
have the very first person to 
land on Awful. 

319
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,200
I'm going to deposit 100 die. 
I'm going to be put in the list 

320
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,600
or any kind of data structure 
and my liquidity is going to be 

321
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,300
put on the pool. 
So I'm yielding at 1% which is 

322
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:31,200
the apy of the port and there is
no country party to match me. 

323
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,200
So basically, like there is 
there was no other way, just 

324
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:39,700
more full puts you into the 
Parlor, but you are in the list.

325
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,000
And, and now bar comes in. 
And when the bar, It comes in is

326
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
going to say hey I want to 
borrow. 

327
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,100
What's a deposit some he's as 
collateral and is going to 

328
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,100
borrow 100. 
I and both ways going to look 

329
00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:55,500
into this data structure so 
let's say it's a cute to 

330
00:19:55,500 --> 00:19:59,600
simplify and say okay the first 
member of that Q is posting 

331
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:04,100
liquidity on our way. 
Let's withdraw this liquidity 

332
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,000
from a v in order to give it 
directly to the borrow and this 

333
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,400
is how, you know, broadly, the 
matching engine works. 

334
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,400
Okay, so when I post something 
to the queue, it's immediately 

335
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,300
matched against our compound. 
And if there's a counterparty 

336
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:27,700
within Morpho, I am matched 
against the counterparty. 

337
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:31,300
And basically, the over 
collateralization of the lending

338
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:35,600
pool on our compound that kind 
of results in the, in the 

339
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,600
healed. 
Being split several ways, 

340
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:43,000
between different lenders, goes 
to the soul lender, that is now 

341
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,700
match peer-to-peer EPS that kind
of a good summary. 

342
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:50,200
Yes, I think it's a nice way to 
think about it. 

343
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,600
Yes. 
How do you stop people from 

344
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:59,800
submitting, lots of small orders
that the borrower will then have

345
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,500
to pay gas for matching? 
Yes, that's an excellent 

346
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,200
question. 
And that's actually the reason 

347
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,800
why you can do for a first-in 
first-out model as I was 

348
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,700
describing and actually you have
different ways you can. 

349
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,100
Solve the problem one way would 
be. 

350
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,900
Okay, let's just do a pool 
inside of pool, and this way, 

351
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:26,100
you don't need any q and is 
just, you know, a pool with a 

352
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:31,400
higher utilization of the 
capital, and so, but that works.

353
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,900
But at the same time for 
different reasons, it's not 

354
00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:35,900
optimal in terms of capital 
efficiency. 

355
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:40,100
So the Q does not work. 
Because basically, someone can, 

356
00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:43,700
as you mentioned, Supply One 
sense, like 1,000 times. 

357
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,400
And basically DDOS the the 
matching engine. 

358
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:50,100
So you have to come up with 
different ideas. 

359
00:21:50,300 --> 00:21:54,600
One of the most simple one and 
this is the one that we started 

360
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,300
with is basically to sort of 
part of the list. 

361
00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:01,700
So in the blockchain 
environment, you have a limited 

362
00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:04,600
complexity that you have 
available in order to do 

363
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,100
operations. 
Otherwise gas would basically 

364
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:10,900
explode. 
And so we came up with what we 

365
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:15,600
call, Semi sorting lists web 
server The list, we're basically

366
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,600
it's trivial. 
We just have a hip, the 

367
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:24,000
basically, a data structure that
is able to get us, the biggest 

368
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,700
users across like the top ten 
and then the rest is a fearful. 

369
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:33,600
So, basically, when they Loop 
into the matching engine, I'll 

370
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,600
get to, you know, if I'm 
borrowing, I'll be much first 

371
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,300
with the biggest lender second 
with the second. 

372
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:42,800
Biggest lender, etc, etc. 
So I'm sure that I'm going to 

373
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,300
get liquidity out. 
Out of it. 

374
00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:46,900
And I won't be DDOS. 
And then I, when I go into the 

375
00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:51,500
fearful, and so this is kind of,
you know, the simplest 

376
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:55,800
implementation and that's a, you
know, solve the specification of

377
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,100
the problem that we were given 
in the first place. 

378
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:01,300
And this is the one we decided 
to to implement. 

379
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,200
This is other more complex and 
interesting way to solve the 

380
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,800
problem that we've been working 
on as well. 

381
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:12,800
Okay, so basically larger 
lenders at lower rates, are 

382
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,500
prioritized I understand 
correctly. 

383
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,300
And then basically my question 
kind of that follows from that, 

384
00:23:19,300 --> 00:23:24,500
if they're later, comes a better
lender borrower, to the to 

385
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:27,300
Morpho, is everything else, 
reshuffled? 

386
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,600
No, it is not in the current 
implementation of more food is 

387
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,300
not. 
So, basically, if you get 

388
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:38,300
matched, no one can match. 
You, even though the proposed, a

389
00:23:38,300 --> 00:23:41,600
better rate, like something 
actually, in more for, you can't

390
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,300
really prepare the raid. 
There is one period of Pure joy 

391
00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:47,100
for everybody. 
But you can, you know, this is a

392
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:50,300
limit of the design, right? 
It would be better, of course, 

393
00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:54,000
if everybody was able to, you 
know, get more competitive about

394
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,900
their rates and every time I 
re-propose something, that is 

395
00:23:57,900 --> 00:24:00,900
better, everything gets 
reshuffled, such that the market

396
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:03,100
is more efficient, but the 
limits here. 

397
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:05,900
And the reason why we decided 
not to go for this kind of 

398
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:09,900
solution is simply gas cause 
it's like doing it on layer 1. 

399
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,900
Maybe it's doable on other 
chainsaw related to like Like, 

400
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:17,600
there's a strain or or, you 
know, seek a saying or this kind

401
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,900
of things. 
But on layer 1, it's very hard 

402
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:22,800
to, you know, come up with a I 
would say constant time 

403
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,400
algorithm that they're all those
kind of matching computer pure. 

404
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,800
So that was probably the reason 
why we we decided not to have 

405
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,700
this reshuffling mechanism, even
though it's a, it's a good 

406
00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:36,300
Improvement to have. 
Obviously, if you don't take gas

407
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:43,300
goes into consideration, When 
you blend in a traditional like,

408
00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:49,400
Javier compound, your liquidity 
is being posted up to, and it's 

409
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,300
basically collateralizing all of
the loans that that are that are

410
00:24:54,308 --> 00:24:58,800
being taken out by borers. 
As you said earlier, there is so

411
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,000
much more liquidity that is 
covering, so its capital in the 

412
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,100
efficient, but that means that 
as a, as a borrower, I can come 

413
00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:10,100
in and out of that market. 
And and and I can sort of always

414
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:13,600
be borrowing assets across this 
pool of collateral. 

415
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,600
So as a lender, if I'm matched 
with a borer and now that borer 

416
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,500
wants to take their collateral 
out, how is my loan now being 

417
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:26,100
collateralized knowing that it's
just like peer-to-peer thing 

418
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:29,900
rather than boring against this 
massive pool of collateral. 

419
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:36,300
Yeah, that's an excellent 
question and that's probably the

420
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:40,000
first Cornerstone to the The 
more for protocol and how all 

421
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,500
this mechanism, you know, 
unwrapped. 

422
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:44,800
So I'm going to attempt this as 
simply as possible. 

423
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,600
Please, you know, feel free to 
ask me, intermediate questions 

424
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,400
here if you need it. 
But basically, let's get the 

425
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,200
intuition for an example first. 
So, if we come back to this 

426
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,500
example, where Alice was 
providing 100 died and Bob 

427
00:25:56,500 --> 00:26:00,000
providing 1e in order to borrow 
100,000 mofo. 

428
00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:02,100
Basically, What's Happening 
Here? 

429
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:07,600
Is that Alice her 100 die is 
going to get in. 

430
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,500
Into the pockets of Bob and Bob 
can basically, you know, since 

431
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:15,000
the, the old oak electron is 
much prettier Bob can just, you 

432
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,700
know, turn the Hafiz is machine 
go offline and do whatever you 

433
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:22,200
want with the 100. 
I, and at this point in time, 

434
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:26,300
let's say, Alice is alone. 
There is no die like more food 

435
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:31,300
as access to know die. 
So how could she be, you know, 

436
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,400
able to withdraw and and this is
what more of a Souls is like, 

437
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,300
how do you have 100%? 
So the efficiency without, you 

438
00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:46,200
know, while staying liquid. 
And so what happens here when 

439
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,800
Alice is going to click, the 
withdraw button is the 

440
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,700
following. 
So Alice triggers the, which 

441
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:56,000
will function and more for is 
going first to unmatch Alice. 

442
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,400
And Bob say okay, I listen Bob 
are not even are not match 

443
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,400
anymore because Alice is about 
to Israel. 

444
00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:06,300
So more for these to reconnect, 
Bob with someone and Bob is 

445
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:08,900
going to be reconnected with the
The pool itself. 

446
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,400
So what's happening here is that
mofo is going to take a loan of 

447
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:19,900
100 died on the bull, with the 
east of Bob and give that 100 

448
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:23,400
die to Alice such that Alice can
withdraw at any time. 

449
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:29,200
So basically, yes, we have 100% 
Capital efficiency, there is no 

450
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:34,400
die, but since the borrow that 
is taking on the die, has put 

451
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,900
some collateral. 
Then, this collateral can be To 

452
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,100
the actually boring on compounds
and and match the position such 

453
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:46,100
that Alice can withdraw at any 
time. 

454
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,600
I hope that was clear. 
I can go into, you know, 

455
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:50,900
different explanations of that 
if necessary. 

456
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:54,900
So basically, then what's 
happening is that compound or 

457
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:59,800
Ave is acting as a backup 
mechanism in. 

458
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:05,200
So, you fall back to you fall, 
back to compounder Ave rates. 

459
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,100
If there is no lender, So if 
there's no, yeah, there's no 

460
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:13,500
lender to back your position. 
Exactly. 

461
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,200
Yeah. 
I think it's interesting. 

462
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,700
And maybe I did not mention 
sufficiently. 

463
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:18,800
Clearly in the beginning is 
important to mention that 

464
00:28:19,100 --> 00:28:23,200
mournful not always offers the 
pure pure pure, which is in the 

465
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,900
middle. 
It's offers the pure pure pure, 

466
00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:29,400
if a match is found from the 
borrower and the lender side and

467
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,900
if comfortably accountability 
leaves or is there is no 

468
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:36,000
counterparty available, then 
there is a full back to the 

469
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,400
underlying pool. 
So basically, in terms of Acts. 

470
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:41,600
It's a landing protocol. 
That provides the same 

471
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:46,600
respirators, the same liquidity,
and at least the same rates as 

472
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,000
are they right? 
Worst case scenario, you get the

473
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,200
other yields from a borrower or 
from A lender perspective and in

474
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,300
average you'll be much 
peer-to-peer and enjoy a better 

475
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:59,300
rate. 
So if you look at oven compound,

476
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:05,400
the reason why the borrow and 
lend apis are different from 

477
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,000
one. 
Another is to ensure there is 

478
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,700
sufficient exit the quiddity, 
right? 

479
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:12,000
Because basically the user 
experience, if you want to 

480
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,200
withdraw your funds from a pool 
and you can't because it's still

481
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,300
borrowed and you can't fool 
three payment unless it's unless

482
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,000
the loan is underwater, you 
can't withdraw your funds and 

483
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,200
basically what will happen, then
There's that the raids are just 

484
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:32,100
until it is economically 
unviable to kind of keep paying 

485
00:29:32,100 --> 00:29:35,200
the interest on those loans and 
so on but it's a bad situation 

486
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,700
for the lender because you're 
under the impression that in 

487
00:29:38,700 --> 00:29:41,600
principle you can exit at any 
time. 

488
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:47,500
And that's why that's why the 
rates are so different because 

489
00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:49,900
basically they have to make the 
poor bigger. 

490
00:29:49,900 --> 00:29:55,600
So that basically, in like 99.5 
percent of cases, everyone who 

491
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,900
wants to Exit can exit, the put 
asthma for your kind of 

492
00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:01,700
piggybacking off of that 
mechanism. 

493
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:06,400
So basically you're using the 
Ava and compound exit liquidity 

494
00:30:07,900 --> 00:30:14,600
and kind of take the most 
lucrative deals, the land and 

495
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,200
borrowed years of large of large
lenders and borrowers because 

496
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,100
those are prioritized of large 
lenders, and kind of skim that 

497
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:27,900
off the top. 
Yes, so I assume you guys are 

498
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:30,100
done contact with carbon 
compound. 

499
00:30:30,100 --> 00:30:33,800
How do they feel about this? 
Yes, I think it's an excellent 

500
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,000
question and this is a question 
I get asked all the time is. 

501
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,400
I mean, this is true, that's 
more for the way. 

502
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,900
It's design is taking volume 
from a VA and, and from Compound

503
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:50,700
on the borrowing and the landing
site and more for is, you know, 

504
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,300
it's a bit of a weird 
relationship because it's a bit 

505
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:58,000
competitive in the sense that 
we're taking market shares, but 

506
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:05,200
on the other ends more for is, 
you know, Printing, you raised. 

507
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:08,700
I mean rights that are not have 
sufficient, like actual 

508
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:12,500
efficiency that is enabled him 
to defy rates that were not 

509
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:15,500
possible before. 
And so, this is interesting 

510
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:19,600
because basically we're 
unlocking you use cases, news 

511
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,100
usage. 
We're basically lenders, would 

512
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:25,700
not come at 1%, but they would 
come at too and thanks to more 

513
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:29,600
for their now coming. 
And, and I have a, is getting 

514
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,100
the, a little bit of a share of 
that. 

515
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,300
That through the full-back 
borrowing volume or the 

516
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:36,600
full-back lending room. 
And if you look at compound, for

517
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,600
example, I don't know if that's 
still the case, but at least for

518
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,000
many months, this year more for 
was the biggest bar of compound.

519
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:49,600
And that's very interesting 
because actually compound does 

520
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,600
not have so many organic 
berries. 

521
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,400
When you look at this, the the 
data of compound most borrowers 

522
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,000
and compound, which is the most 
important thing for compound 

523
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,300
because they bring the money in 
is actually artificial Burrows, 

524
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:04,300
farming. 
W most of the time, not always, 

525
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:07,800
but most of the time. 
And so more for actually, proved

526
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,300
to be the biggest bar to the 
biggest money bringer to the, to

527
00:32:12,300 --> 00:32:15,300
the compound protocol. 
So, you know, I I don't want to 

528
00:32:15,308 --> 00:32:17,100
hide the fact that more face 
competitive. 

529
00:32:17,100 --> 00:32:20,000
It is to some extent, but it's 
also growing the pie for 

530
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,900
everybody. 
And I think like Roberts from 

531
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:26,800
from compounds and and standing 
from from IV got this right? 

532
00:32:27,100 --> 00:32:31,600
And, you know, I had the chance 
to talk to Robert's like to DM 

533
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,300
him. 
About this a few times. 

534
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:38,200
And I think, you know, he and he
and Stanny Express sometimes as 

535
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,800
themselves about it very 
briefly, but I think this is the

536
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,700
right way to think about it. 
I hope that was clear as a as an

537
00:32:45,700 --> 00:32:47,600
explanation. 
Yeah, that's clear. 

538
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:53,300
Do you have any actual data 
about how many of the users your

539
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:56,300
vampire, talking away from 
compound and oven? 

540
00:32:56,300 --> 00:32:59,300
How many you are actually 
organically bringing to the 

541
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:03,700
table? 
I never fetch the data, but I 

542
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:05,500
should definitely. 
I think that's interesting. 

543
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:10,200
And I think, you know, the 
market would decide in the ends 

544
00:33:10,700 --> 00:33:13,300
and in any case morph is 
inevitable. 

545
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:16,200
So we'll have to do with it 
anyway, whatever the result is, 

546
00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:21,100
He's kind of glossed over the 
fact that in matching borrow us,

547
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:26,300
to lend us directly, you're also
taking rewards from the port, so

548
00:33:26,300 --> 00:33:29,000
basically you not only are you 
taking share but you're also 

549
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,900
making the rewards on the poor 
smaller than they otherwise 

550
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:36,600
would be right? 
Yes. 

551
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,200
Maybe you can add a little bit 
of reflection on that is users. 

552
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:44,900
So first mouthful, if a user is 
put on the boot, if no 

553
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:47,600
counterpart is matched. 
Then the user is put down the 

554
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,000
pool and is earning rewards more
for is not taking any cuts on 

555
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,300
that and it's just giving it 
back to the user. 

556
00:33:53,900 --> 00:33:57,400
And so, so muffled just give the
comparative to the, to the 

557
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,500
lender, or the borrower that did
not find a match. 

558
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:03,100
If the user is matched, then the
user is out of compound and 

559
00:34:03,100 --> 00:34:05,800
experiencing a better rate. 
Better native rate like in 

560
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,300
Native you know in the East for 
example and in which case the 

561
00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:14,900
lender or the borrower is 
actually removed from the pool. 

562
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:17,900
So there's more Rewards 
Remaining for the rest of the 

563
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:19,500
book. 
I don't know if that's clear. 

564
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,100
Well yes but the it that they're
removed from the poor because 

565
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:27,800
100% of the money they're 
lending is borrowed. 

566
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:32,600
So basically if that were to be,
I mean I mean this is I don't 

567
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,199
think this computes what you 
mean? 

568
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:37,300
No, I think says there is a bar 
coming. 

569
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:40,900
So, and extracting A lender, or 
the opposite from the pool. 

570
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,500
In which case those users that 
were previously earning rewards 

571
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,600
are not earning Rewards. 
Boards anymore and my father are

572
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,600
not earning the country words 
there are much credit. 

573
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,900
I totally understand that part. 
But so basically to me, the 

574
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:56,199
question, is the borrower that 
comes in a new? 

575
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,800
What that borrow otherwise have 
gone to our or compound or what 

576
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,400
they have just refrained from 
taking a loan. 

577
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,000
So basically, if they had 
refrained from taking a loan, I 

578
00:35:07,008 --> 00:35:08,800
totally get your line of 
argument. 

579
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:12,800
But basically I'm skeptical that
people who actually come to 

580
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,000
Morpho, wouldn't otherwise have 
defaulted to going to our Ave or

581
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,800
compound. 
Oh yeah, I think like you're 

582
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,500
right. 
Like it depends on the use case 

583
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:26,900
like there's some places where 
you only want to add yourself 

584
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:31,900
with to borrow if the rates is 
lower and in some cases where 

585
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,100
you would have gone anyway to 
have a because like whatever the

586
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:38,800
race you want to borrow and in 
which case you go to Morphine 

587
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,000
which case this is the vampire 
set of things but there is a not

588
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,600
vampire set of things where you 
can only offer to borrow at 1% 

589
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:52,400
or You just have a use case at 
1% in which case you come to two

590
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,400
more full. 
And there is the fullback of 

591
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,100
that if there is no match, that 
is found or only a part of the 

592
00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:01,500
match that is found that is for 
biking to to have a for the bar 

593
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:02,100
inside. 
Sure. 

594
00:36:02,100 --> 00:36:03,900
Absolutely. 
If your price that you're price,

595
00:36:03,900 --> 00:36:07,800
I told I totally get that. 
Let's, let's talk about the 

596
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:12,400
preferential treatment of larger
lenders, right? 

597
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,600
So basically on compound and 
Ava, everyone kind of gets the 

598
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:21,300
same Rewards In proportion to 
how much money they put up 

599
00:36:21,300 --> 00:36:27,300
whereas for, for more fo ways. 
I met first because of, you 

600
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:31,400
know, gasps efficiencies because
everything is unchain, it's and 

601
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,600
it's not, it's not a pool 
mechanism. 

602
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,800
What happens to small lenders? 
Is it even, is it even feasible 

603
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,200
or attractive for them to 
actually come to Morpho? 

604
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,600
Yes, that's an excellent 
question. 

605
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,400
So maybe first something that I 
want to end the line is that 

606
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,100
it's a difficult like it's a 
it's a different of the 

607
00:36:50,100 --> 00:36:54,000
mechanism that we had to sort 
users is because we have we were

608
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,100
so constraints about a serum 
that we had to sort about of the

609
00:36:58,100 --> 00:37:00,700
YouTube. 
But, you know, ideally, we would

610
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:03,800
not want any previous trip, 
preferential treatment on the 

611
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,800
size of the notes. 
Now, this is solved by having 

612
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:12,500
small lenders. 
Regrouping together in a single 

613
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:17,000
smart contracts which happens 
usually like usually you know, 

614
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,800
end users are not interacting as
well as are interacting with 

615
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,400
protocols that are themselves. 
Interacting with more for, it 

616
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,700
means in which case they had can
have like you know bigger size 

617
00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:29,100
and have more chances to be much
all together. 

618
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,700
So that's one thing. 
And yeah, I don't want to teach 

619
00:37:32,700 --> 00:37:37,000
too much about what we're doing 
but like the problem is sort of 

620
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,800
a okay? 
And what happens if someone On 

621
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:46,100
from this larger, this pool of 
people who kind of just got 

622
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:50,300
together to kind of co-invest in
Morpho, what happens if one of 

623
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:52,700
them wants out, how do you get 
them out? 

624
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,600
Oh yeah. 
Basically one lender. 

625
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:02,600
So to the eyes of Morpho, this V
is just a normal user and so 

626
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,500
they can withdraw our share of 
like a mofo, you can withdraw 

627
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:08,300
our share of what you have. 
So okay, let's get to work shall

628
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:09,900
withdraw. 
Yes. 

629
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,100
Okay, quit that's super good. 
When you guys take a borrow 

630
00:38:14,100 --> 00:38:18,600
position on Ave or compound. 
Like you mentioned earlier that 

631
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,400
you were one of the largest 
borders on compound, you're 

632
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,200
earning compound. 
Like comp rewards for that. 

633
00:38:26,900 --> 00:38:29,700
Can you talk a little bit about 
what those tokens are used for? 

634
00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:32,400
And I think more broadly, I'd 
like to understand the token on 

635
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:37,200
mix of Morpho because as a 
Morpho user, you're also earning

636
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,300
more more for tokens. 
And so, what's the interplay 

637
00:38:40,300 --> 00:38:42,400
here? 
R between that and you know, 

638
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,800
broader token Onyx and how they 
work. 

639
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,300
Yeah, I think we're very like 
minimalist in terms of talking 

640
00:38:49,300 --> 00:38:53,000
design and that what we want to 
achieve visit again like we 

641
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,900
really want to, you know, every 
proposal that we're going to 

642
00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:59,900
make on the Dow to have even 
evolution of the token is is 

643
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:02,500
going to be very minimalist. 
And we want that. 

644
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:05,500
Every step that we take makes 
sense is actually useful for the

645
00:39:05,500 --> 00:39:08,500
protocol and its users. 
So coming back to your question,

646
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:14,000
is the comp tokens are all 
redistributed to compound a to 

647
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,900
the motherfucker. 
Company users. 

648
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,200
So if I'm landing and my 
position somehow, you know, 

649
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,800
abstractly is ended up on the 
pool. 

650
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,000
Then I'm running those rewards 
and morph is going to account 

651
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
for those and is going to give 
them back to you. 

652
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,700
So there is no cut or whatsoever
that is taken by more for like 

653
00:39:32,700 --> 00:39:37,400
this is not the idea so that's 
one thing that this is the 

654
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,200
second thing about the morph 
targets that on top of that, 

655
00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:42,400
whether your match whether 
you're not match, your always 

656
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:47,500
get more for targets. 
It to you to your lender and 

657
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:52,000
borrower positions and those are
kinds are not transferable for 

658
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,300
the moment, please. 
And basically, the idea here and

659
00:39:55,300 --> 00:39:58,000
the motivation is not, you know,
to increase the apy. 

660
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:03,100
I'm a firm non-believer on yield
powered by Garden sockets. 

661
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,300
However, it's your to 
decentralize the protocol. 

662
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:13,500
Like in my opinion, it makes 
sense to have daos and protocols

663
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:17,400
governed by Investors 
contributors and users. 

664
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,900
Like it's in my opinion, a good 
equilibrium to have the three of

665
00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:24,200
those that can have a say in the
governance and the long term. 

666
00:40:24,500 --> 00:40:27,700
So that was important to us to, 
you know, kick starts in some 

667
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:33,700
way, some sort of liquidity 
mining program as it is done on 

668
00:40:33,700 --> 00:40:35,900
Morpho. 
And there is also this good 

669
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:41,100
effect of bootstrapping rights 
in the very you know, the first 

670
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:44,100
millions that we had I think 
more for now is almost at half a

671
00:40:44,100 --> 00:40:46,200
billion. 
The difference millions that we 

672
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:51,500
had was like 100% of it. 
Not I 100% bit like maybe 99% of

673
00:40:51,500 --> 00:40:55,400
it was analyzed. 
Like we interpreted it as 

674
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:58,100
liquidity, Manning right. 
Which is not the case. 

675
00:40:58,100 --> 00:41:02,200
Now is like because we had Fair 
volumes were able to, you know, 

676
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,800
discuss more Integrations. 
And I think this is the way talk

677
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,600
and should be used. 
I want to talk about the 

678
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,000
governance in a little bit of 
more. 

679
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,800
Vo Dao. 
I have one last question for the

680
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,100
protocol, sorry, to kind of dig 
deep here. 

681
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,500
So obviously a cool part of a 
landing, protocols is 

682
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,200
liquidation. 
So if a position is underwater 

683
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:29,900
and the borrower is matched with
a lender, typically, you could 

684
00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:34,300
anyone can kind of liquidate 
that position and and take a cut

685
00:41:34,300 --> 00:41:40,000
off of the cholesterol. 
So I mean I assume I think it's 

686
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,000
exactly the same unlawful but 
obviously sometimes it goes 

687
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,400
wrong. 
So basically sometimes there's I

688
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,500
mean there's still some risk 
involved so sometimes prices 

689
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:53,000
crash too fast or no one 
actually liquid AIDS because gas

690
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,200
costs are too high or something 
and on compound and other. 

691
00:41:57,500 --> 00:42:02,000
Obviously this is a communal has
risk because basically this is 

692
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,400
just unrepaid debt from from the
poor. 

693
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:11,400
So basically this Ross gets 
redistributed to all lenders. 

694
00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:16,500
What happens on more for if a if
there's a liquidation failure, 

695
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:21,100
it does the person who's matched
with the person with the 

696
00:42:21,100 --> 00:42:26,700
borrower that has that mishap 
happen actually, you know, to 

697
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:30,000
they end up empty-handed. 
Yeah, that's, that's an 

698
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,300
excellent question. 
So, we often say pure pure 

699
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:37,100
matching because it helps 
conceptualize the mechanism of 

700
00:42:37,300 --> 00:42:42,300
For more fo but in mofo actually
you never matched with a single 

701
00:42:42,300 --> 00:42:44,600
control party. 
It's just the state. 

702
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,500
It's like I'm in a peer-to-peer 
and hence States or I'm not in a

703
00:42:48,508 --> 00:42:53,600
peer-to-peer Annette States and 
so there is it feels like, okay 

704
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,300
there is one country party which
I'm bearing the risk of, but 

705
00:42:57,300 --> 00:43:00,600
this is not the case. 
Like the way it works is like 

706
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,200
when you have your money that is
put in the pool, then you bear 

707
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,500
the risk of bad depth. 
Under the /. 

708
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,400
Okay, so if Aventura some bad 
habits, you're also interesting 

709
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:17,900
about it is your position is 
match peer-to-peer you have 

710
00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:21,700
shared loss. 
So first, something that I want 

711
00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:25,500
to mention is that you have the 
same cultural factors the same 

712
00:43:25,500 --> 00:43:30,000
articles Etc as on a v. 
So there is no specific 

713
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,800
parameter that would, you know. 
But yeah, I think that's 

714
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,900
important to mention. 
But now if we put in the 

715
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:38,300
scenario where for some reason, 
Reason Liquidators or not. 

716
00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:42,400
I would liquidate then the loss 
is shares or call all more for 

717
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,600
users. 
So it's not specific to one 

718
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,700
counterparty but it's a smaller 
subsets as the other protocol. 

719
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,500
Is that designs of the question?
Yeah. 

720
00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:54,700
That answers the question 
perfectly. 

721
00:43:54,700 --> 00:43:58,700
So kind of it's like a gated 
community within the within the,

722
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,200
within the other. 
Okay. 

723
00:44:01,500 --> 00:44:03,300
Yeah, no I think I understand 
that. 

724
00:44:03,300 --> 00:44:06,000
I think this also solves a 
question that I had on the 

725
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,300
regulatory side, Because 
basically, the reason why 

726
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,400
protocols, like carbon compound,
a huge largely unregulated. 

727
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,700
This because you're always just 
deal with a smart contract. 

728
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:21,600
Whereas, if you have a dark 
counterparty this kind of this 

729
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,900
kind of preferential treatment 
usually goes away in most 

730
00:44:25,900 --> 00:44:28,000
jurisdictions. 
So kind of actually matching 

731
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,500
people peer-to-peer also comes 
with legal downsides? 

732
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,900
Yes absolutely. 
And I think this is why you know

733
00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:39,900
to the really Eight to talk 
about Landing protocol and and 

734
00:44:39,900 --> 00:44:43,600
the prefer talking about, you 
know, liquidity pores or, you 

735
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,700
know, you don't lend your supply
liquidity or you deposit 

736
00:44:46,700 --> 00:44:50,000
liquidity. 
But yeah, here it's a pure pure 

737
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,100
States but at the same time I 
want people to understand. 

738
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:57,800
So I say pure pure matching but 
but yeah, that's it's clearly a 

739
00:44:57,808 --> 00:44:58,900
mutual estate. 
Yeah. 

740
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:05,200
I'd like to jump to using the 
product because I, you know, 

741
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,600
you're like yesterday I You 
know, looked at my Instagram app

742
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,800
and I was like, oh hey my Ave 
positions are not yet on Morpho 

743
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,800
and and maybe I should just move
them over there and benefit from

744
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:21,700
better better rates. 
So, one question I had was when 

745
00:45:21,700 --> 00:45:26,000
you're using more fo are like 
when you say that you use this 

746
00:45:26,300 --> 00:45:31,000
phrasing of like enhanced like 
an enhanced position where your 

747
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,700
you basically like you know, 
more forward. 

748
00:45:33,700 --> 00:45:36,900
I feel it's sort of like this 
Progressive enhancement of like 

749
00:45:36,900 --> 00:45:42,400
a Ending pool to a peer-to-peer 
but you always fall back as a 

750
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,200
user. 
Is it made obvious that you're 

751
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,700
lending. 
Position is either matched on 

752
00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:52,900
Morpho or you've Fallen back to 
compound is that like clear to 

753
00:45:52,900 --> 00:45:55,400
the user and also the rate that 
you're getting? 

754
00:45:55,700 --> 00:46:00,900
Yes it's a it's a good question.
I think it's hard to have a good

755
00:46:00,900 --> 00:46:04,700
user experience with such a 
complex you know can is am, I 

756
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:08,200
would say, but basically I'm 
compound And I have a you have 

757
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:12,300
those sea targets that are 
basically not so useful, except 

758
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:14,900
for user experience. 
This is no technical interest in

759
00:46:14,900 --> 00:46:17,700
having a see talking or I tuck 
and she's just a representation 

760
00:46:17,700 --> 00:46:19,400
of something. 
Yes. 

761
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:23,600
When you have a tokens you you 
see the token yields like in 

762
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,500
your pot, for your, you know, 
how much it's worse and it's, 

763
00:46:26,500 --> 00:46:31,000
you know, a very user friendly 
Behavior. 

764
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,700
Unlawful not all positions are 
treated equally and because of 

765
00:46:35,707 --> 00:46:40,800
the, you don't have like the 
acid. 20, for example, you could

766
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,000
have in some World, them sort of
an FTE that we did. 

767
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,100
Think that, that was an even 
worse, user experience having an

768
00:46:47,100 --> 00:46:50,100
FD and that people might throw 
it out, you know, not knowing 

769
00:46:50,100 --> 00:46:52,300
what it was. 
So we're like, okay, maybe 

770
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:57,400
that's not a good way to go. 
And so, basically, this is a 

771
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:02,800
work, the front end has to do. 
So when you go to instead of, 

772
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,200
for example, is a do it 
extremely well, you did tell you

773
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,500
like what is your average? 
And if you go to morph was like 

774
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,900
interfaces with as well, the one
developed by muscle-ups the one 

775
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:18,000
developed by mutative team like 
we have many, many different 

776
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,000
front-ends and usually what 
they're going to do is going to 

777
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:27,000
say, Hey, you have 100 interior 
appear, 100 in pool. 

778
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,500
Okay. 
So it's like Alf Alf. 

779
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:30,900
So we're going to make an 
average of your All of your 

780
00:47:30,900 --> 00:47:33,800
rates and such that to use. 
You're just not feel the complex

781
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:38,200
care that doesn't make sense. 
So your position can be spread 

782
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,400
out. 
Yeah so your position can be 

783
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,800
half or there. 
Could be What proportion of your

784
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,400
presents first portion. 
Reposition that's backed by like

785
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,100
a peer-to-peer learning more fo 
and the other would be backed by

786
00:47:50,700 --> 00:47:54,100
some some position on compound 
or exactly. 

787
00:47:54,100 --> 00:47:55,700
Yeah. 
And it's the work of the front 

788
00:47:55,700 --> 00:47:58,400
end to average that and make it 
similar such that you have an 

789
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,800
average API. 
And why is it that there are 

790
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,000
like two separate like Morpho 
compound and more felawe? 

791
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,600
Why wouldn't you just be 
utilizing the liquidity in both 

792
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,300
of those pools and sort of 
finding ways to optimize like, 

793
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,900
so basically, like finding the 
better rate depending on the 

794
00:48:16,900 --> 00:48:21,000
assets, you're boring against 
for the user and sort of just, 

795
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:26,800
you know, adding the ability to 
add any sort of liquidity, pool 

796
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,100
underlying, like, one more photo
interface or Tracked. 

797
00:48:30,100 --> 00:48:34,300
I think two reasons. 
The first one is complexity. 

798
00:48:34,300 --> 00:48:38,900
Many, many, protocols have 
tried, you know, aggregating 

799
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:44,300
letting protocols and the mostly
all have fails to some extent. 

800
00:48:44,700 --> 00:48:49,400
And probably, the reason why is 
because the not every protocol 

801
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,300
share the same risk, and they're
not the same, the sense that 

802
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,500
they take different collateral 
factors approaches. 

803
00:48:55,500 --> 00:48:57,700
So, it's easier for the landing 
side of things. 

804
00:48:57,700 --> 00:49:03,600
You can say, hey, like, We will 
select the pull with the more 

805
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,000
interesting API, but if you 
start on so aggregating borrow 

806
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,700
positions at the same time, then
it becomes, you know, it's hard 

807
00:49:11,700 --> 00:49:14,700
because you have to decide on 
risk is like, you have to 

808
00:49:14,707 --> 00:49:16,600
decide, which collateral Factor,
I'm going to use. 

809
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,300
Like, I'm going to use the 
clutch on factor of our way of 

810
00:49:19,300 --> 00:49:22,700
compound or the most 
conservative of the to, and as 

811
00:49:22,700 --> 00:49:25,100
soon as you say, I'm going to 
use the most conservative of the

812
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:26,700
two. 
You're not an improvement 

813
00:49:26,700 --> 00:49:28,300
anymore, you just a different 
product. 

814
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:30,100
And so in terms of product 
decisions, Asian. 

815
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,300
It was, it was basically a 
product decision that I took 

816
00:49:32,300 --> 00:49:35,400
was, okay. 
I want to be an improvement of 

817
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,800
something. 
I want to be able to, to improve

818
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,400
something that I know for sure 
has a market. 

819
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,300
And so that's why we decided to 
separate in order to have like, 

820
00:49:46,300 --> 00:49:49,300
no trade-off. 
However, like this definitely 

821
00:49:49,300 --> 00:49:53,000
room for, for you, no more 
complex mechanisms, where you 

822
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,400
could aggregate those different 
protocols in a more advanced 

823
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,500
way, I would say, Hmm. 
Okay, so this is like a lot of 

824
00:50:00,508 --> 00:50:04,100
complexity and aggregating 
different liquidity pools that 

825
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,900
that doesn't exist. 
They would like, aggregating, 

826
00:50:06,900 --> 00:50:09,900
you know, like if there's so 
many D Phi e like defy adex 

827
00:50:09,900 --> 00:50:13,700
aggregators that and that think 
the problem has been like mostly

828
00:50:13,700 --> 00:50:14,700
solved. 
Yeah, definitely. 

829
00:50:14,700 --> 00:50:18,100
I think it's a matter of, you 
know, risk rewards rather than 

830
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:22,800
just rewards and so it's for 
that reason it's it's an 

831
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,500
additional Dimension and you 
have to take into account and 

832
00:50:25,500 --> 00:50:29,500
aggregation process and then 
come The navi, we're not made 

833
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,800
to, to share the liquidity with 
a partner. 

834
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,400
So when you can borrow on the 
one, you come around the other. 

835
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,900
So it's it's very hard to have 
this sort of aggregated to its 

836
00:50:39,900 --> 00:50:43,800
visible, but it's complex so we 
thought like, as a first step, 

837
00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:46,300
you know, our first protocol 
should be something fairly 

838
00:50:46,300 --> 00:50:48,900
simple, and this is why the 
matching engine has a lot of 

839
00:50:48,900 --> 00:50:52,000
room for improvement. 
This is why we're not 

840
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,100
aggregating, but maybe in the 
future we'll be able to release 

841
00:50:55,100 --> 00:50:58,300
more advanced versions. 
I totally understand where 

842
00:50:58,300 --> 00:51:02,200
you're coming from and basically
as a defy user you kind of you 

843
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,400
want to be very specific about 
which protocols you're fine 

844
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,100
with. 
So basically at least you'd 

845
00:51:08,100 --> 00:51:13,500
actually have to disclose to the
user which protocols you kind of

846
00:51:13,500 --> 00:51:19,100
mix by default and have to have 
have them, allow them to opt out

847
00:51:19,100 --> 00:51:21,500
of that and so on. 
So I actually do think that 

848
00:51:21,500 --> 00:51:26,200
especially since everything is 
on Shane, this is probably too 

849
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:32,100
much overhead. 
Head for not that much reward. 

850
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,200
Yeah, definitely. 
I think this room for, you know,

851
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,900
actual defy middlewares like, 
you know, you're in finance, 

852
00:51:38,900 --> 00:51:40,200
full finances, Etc. 
Try. 

853
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,800
Actually, you know, makes at 
least the landing side of things

854
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:47,100
and makes different strategies 
or rebalance and stuff like 

855
00:51:47,100 --> 00:51:48,800
that. 
But this is like a different 

856
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,100
user kind. 
We really wanted to be as low 

857
00:51:51,100 --> 00:51:54,500
level as possible, not just, you
know, as close to A Primitive as

858
00:51:54,500 --> 00:51:56,800
we could be. 
And yeah. 

859
00:51:57,100 --> 00:51:59,000
Pretty. 
And you also you also get 

860
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,800
natural rebalancing anyways, 
right? 

861
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,600
So basically, it's not like no 
one's making the markets as I 

862
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,300
mean, there's tons of what's out
there. 

863
00:52:06,300 --> 00:52:12,500
They're kind of tried to get the
years to commensurate numbers. 

864
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,200
Yeah, exactly. 
And actually, maybe one last 

865
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:17,600
thing to mention about that 
topic. 

866
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,600
Bizarre things. 
Interesting is rates are not so 

867
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,000
well, Arbitrage, and the reason 
why is they're not arbitrary set

868
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,500
because it's not because 
butterflies Eeyore. 

869
00:52:27,500 --> 00:52:29,500
But have not been coded but have
been coded. 

870
00:52:29,500 --> 00:52:32,800
It's just that they don't have 
the same appreciation of risk on

871
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,300
every single protocol. 
And that, yeah, you have a 

872
00:52:35,300 --> 00:52:38,800
premium in like, you know, the 
reputation of a protocol Etc. 

873
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,900
And this is like, so complex to 
factor in a smart contract, 

874
00:52:42,900 --> 00:52:45,800
obviously. 
What's the talk about the 

875
00:52:45,808 --> 00:52:47,200
integration? 
So we already talked about 

876
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,800
instead app that was announced 
like last year. 

877
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,900
And what's cool about that is if
you have like an Ave position, 

878
00:52:56,300 --> 00:53:00,500
you you essentially don't have 
to unwind that position. 

879
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:03,700
You can just have it be 
refinanced by Morpho. 

880
00:53:03,900 --> 00:53:06,600
I haven't done that yet but I 
think I'm I think I'm gonna hit 

881
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,000
the button on thats pretty soon.
But yeah. 

882
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:14,300
What other Integrations do you 
have to improve the usability? 

883
00:53:14,500 --> 00:53:19,600
The and sort of like people's 
ability to use Morpho, I think 

884
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:24,900
we have a bunch like, we all 
talking to, you know, you have 

885
00:53:24,900 --> 00:53:28,300
to kind of Integrations like 
protocol Integrations and no 

886
00:53:28,300 --> 00:53:30,900
more data and analytics 
integration. 

887
00:53:31,300 --> 00:53:34,100
So, we're talking to a bunch of 
websites to get more for in 

888
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:39,500
approximately everywhere and you
have a lot of funds as well. 

889
00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:43,300
Integrating with more for and 
doing their complex quad stuff 

890
00:53:43,300 --> 00:53:45,700
like a hedging and And and stuff
like that. 

891
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:51,800
But we have as well, protocols, 
like V table, coin or genius 

892
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,300
dollars table coin that are 
using their collateral and the 

893
00:53:55,300 --> 00:53:58,700
put their collateral to work on 
the more for protocol. 

894
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,900
They say, hey, like we want 
better yelled for our stable con

895
00:54:02,900 --> 00:54:07,800
users or saving rate or whatever
we are going to use, we're going

896
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,200
to use this. 
And so yes, we have like, for 

897
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,600
example, D5 H that can help you,
you know, head your Should 

898
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,100
systematically. 
When you're managing units of 

899
00:54:17,100 --> 00:54:20,900
the three positions, we have 
spoon that I was mentioning a 

900
00:54:20,908 --> 00:54:25,400
bit before which enables you to 
diversify your D5 portfolio. 

901
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:30,300
We really have a bunch of those 
and many coming in the pipeline 

902
00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:33,200
as well. 
But, you know, to be fair and I 

903
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,400
think that's a good ending nodes
as well. 

904
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:40,000
Is that I feel like there is a 
ceiling to that gross, as well 

905
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,200
as like. 
Okay, we're like, I think we're 

906
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,500
top three Landing protocol at 
the moment with like like 500 

907
00:54:45,500 --> 00:54:49,700
million or close to 500 million 
in deposits on this area. 

908
00:54:50,700 --> 00:54:55,800
But I do feel like, you know, 
those are just different 

909
00:54:55,800 --> 00:55:00,200
equations, 4, d 5 things that 
are often powered by defy 

910
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,400
Dawkins. 
And I feel like there's like of,

911
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:08,000
you know, actual real world 
connected use case in all this. 

912
00:55:08,300 --> 00:55:11,000
And I think that's going to be a
challenge for us to reconnect, 

913
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:14,100
somehow more food to those real 
usage. 

914
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,000
You know, take the fight to the 
next level. 

915
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,100
Quiz. 
So, let's kind of shift gears a 

916
00:55:20,107 --> 00:55:23,400
little bit and talk about the 
Morpho business model. 

917
00:55:23,900 --> 00:55:26,700
How do you guys make money, you 
know, other than raising money 

918
00:55:26,700 --> 00:55:32,100
from American Reese's? 
That's, that's a good way. 

919
00:55:32,700 --> 00:55:39,000
But of course, joking here. 
Some overlaps is, is a software 

920
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:45,300
development company making money
by doing contributions to Dao. 

921
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:52,900
And so, ideally like the idea, 
you know, way of making money 

922
00:55:52,900 --> 00:55:58,300
for us is basically proposing 
things to the mall for Dow that 

923
00:55:58,300 --> 00:56:02,700
are going to, you know, be 
proved hopefully and that we are

924
00:56:02,700 --> 00:56:06,200
paid by the Dow to produce This 
research and enhance the 

925
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,700
protocol the same way. 
Ivy companies is doing it 

926
00:56:08,700 --> 00:56:10,800
somewhere. 
PG Labs is doing it for our way.

927
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,600
For example, that raises the 
question of how more for makes 

928
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:25,500
money and The answer is mofo in,
its current form is able to take

929
00:56:25,500 --> 00:56:30,000
a cut on the Improvement that is
made from a v or from compounds.

930
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:36,600
So it's basically you making one
percent apy on an avid 11.5 on 

931
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,400
the mofo of it. 
Then more for is able to take 

932
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,600
let's say 20% of that 
Improvement and taking 0.4 

933
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,700
percent of the volume that is 
matched. 

934
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,800
So it's just a kind of the 
Movement. 

935
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,400
There is nothing like that is 
actually lost. 

936
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:53,500
And this is theoretical, so it's
implemented but it's not turned 

937
00:56:53,500 --> 00:56:55,200
on. 
So currently the protocol is not

938
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,300
making money. 
So, how I mean, basically, if 

939
00:56:58,300 --> 00:57:03,400
it's just a fee that's turned 
on, how do you guard yourselves 

940
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,400
against me? 
Just, you know, taking your code

941
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:11,700
and fucking it and kind of 
lowering that 2.1%. 

942
00:57:11,700 --> 00:57:16,100
And how do you make sure this 
there's extra structure? 

943
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:21,000
Value in the protocol itself in 
the user base and this doesn't 

944
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000
actually end in a race to the 
bottom. 

945
00:57:23,700 --> 00:57:27,000
Yeah, that's a an exam question 
that I think every decide 

946
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,700
contributor should reason about 
in some way or another. 

947
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,300
So you have different ways to 
make this happen. 

948
00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:37,200
One obvious way is to have a be 
USL license, which is the case 

949
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,500
of a very free company for 
Indians have be free. 

950
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,600
This is not the case of more 
formal for gtn copyleft license.

951
00:57:43,900 --> 00:57:49,500
So you can you can forget, if If
you wish to do it and basically,

952
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:55,800
the reason why I think we wanted
to go that route is we believe 

953
00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:01,600
in as system grow more and more 
complex, we believe in network 

954
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,500
effects, you know, being able to
retain users. 

955
00:58:04,500 --> 00:58:08,300
Even if it's at the cost of like
a 0.1%. 

956
00:58:08,300 --> 00:58:12,600
He and the reason why that is 
especially true for complex 

957
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:18,300
systems, is that security and 
You know, the trust in the Dow 

958
00:58:18,300 --> 00:58:22,100
and the contributors themselves 
can be valuable for users, like,

959
00:58:22,100 --> 00:58:25,000
okay, there is a brand behind it
and when you look at lending 

960
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,400
rates, it's actually interesting
to see that for example, of is 

961
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:32,700
capturing a ton of the lending 
volume even though they're not 

962
00:58:32,700 --> 00:58:37,400
offering you know as beneficial 
rewards as as compound for 

963
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,900
example and some underlies it 
I'm not saying this is what's 

964
00:58:40,900 --> 00:58:43,800
happening but I'm just saying 
that someone that I is it as 

965
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:46,100
basically the network effect of 
a were people. 

966
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,800
Trust more, Avid the brand and 
everything. 

967
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,100
And so you have, you know, 
quantitative questions here is 

968
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:54,100
that? 
How much does that represent in 

969
00:58:54,100 --> 00:58:58,300
practice and how much like this 
network effect is going to 

970
00:58:58,300 --> 00:59:01,400
retain value? 
And how how big the secret could

971
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,300
be Etc. 
But I think, you know, in the 

972
00:59:04,300 --> 00:59:11,800
end we have not built something 
that is yet to revolutionize the

973
00:59:11,808 --> 00:59:15,700
world and it's this that is 
legitimate in really extracting,

974
00:59:15,700 --> 00:59:18,400
a lot of other To wit, I think 
the current thinking is for us, 

975
00:59:18,500 --> 00:59:24,800
yes live, thanks to fundraising 
not turning on a fee because 

976
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,800
there is legal or so legal. 
No considerations on that and 

977
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,600
work as much as possible to 
build something that has, you 

978
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,300
know, even greater traction. 
And where it's actually worth 

979
00:59:36,300 --> 00:59:39,000
taking a great attraction and 
also create a network effect. 

980
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,500
So I think we're not, we remove 
thinking about, you know, 

981
00:59:42,700 --> 00:59:46,100
designing things that you know, 
where I belong. 

982
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,500
To get sufficient traction. 
It's that we should legitimate 

983
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:52,700
to turn on a fee. 
I want you to propose to turn on

984
00:59:52,700 --> 00:59:55,600
the fee but I think that's not 
even the case at the moment. 

985
00:59:55,600 --> 01:00:00,000
I hope it answers. 
I went a bit far but I hope it 

986
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,100
answers the question. 
I don't need answers the 

987
01:00:02,100 --> 01:00:06,200
question so I actually I also 
see the stickiness of defy 

988
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,200
applications. 
I think it's, it's really 

989
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,300
difficult topic. 
So what actually makes something

990
01:00:11,300 --> 01:00:14,200
sticky. 
Clearly, it's not just the best 

991
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,600
price or the best security. 
Artie. 

992
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:21,200
It's kind of like it's user 
Behavior question, and it's not 

993
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,900
100% clear to me. 
What? 

994
01:00:22,900 --> 01:00:25,000
Exactly, actually entails the 
stickiness. 

995
01:00:25,300 --> 01:00:28,900
Yeah, I think there's a lot of 
know, it all comes back to trust

996
01:00:28,900 --> 01:00:32,200
at some point, which is a bit 
weird, but that's how it is. 

997
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,600
And I do think the example of 
compound and IVs is a good 

998
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,900
example. 
Like I literally talking to 

999
01:00:37,900 --> 01:00:41,600
users, I literally had many 
calls with people saying, hey, 

1000
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:46,100
I'm never going to put a penny 
on compounds and I'm like, okay.

1001
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:50,100
I mean company has been here for
a long time, but, and in, you 

1002
01:00:50,107 --> 01:00:56,400
know, it's the network effect 
here is, is, is really playing a

1003
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,800
role. 
I think it is is Major in terms 

1004
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,600
of, you know, how to retain 
users. 

1005
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,900
And also, there are some 
products well, by Design because

1006
01:01:04,900 --> 01:01:07,200
you have more volume. 
Your products is working better.

1007
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:11,300
It's just the case of curve, in 
that case, So tell us about the 

1008
01:01:11,300 --> 01:01:16,100
roadmap and what's coming for 
more fo. 

1009
01:01:16,100 --> 01:01:19,400
I know that a lot of this is 
governed through governance, but

1010
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,000
what are you most excited about?
Yes. 

1011
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,500
I think like, you know, 
everything that will will be 

1012
01:01:25,508 --> 01:01:29,200
decided would be decided through
governance and will be and will 

1013
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,700
be voting excetera when it comes
to more for labs and the 

1014
01:01:32,700 --> 01:01:36,100
research that we're doing on 
Landing in general, I would say 

1015
01:01:36,100 --> 01:01:39,400
like we've been thinking a lot 
about what makes sense, what 

1016
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,900
does not make sense? 
Then sin in the centralized 

1017
01:01:41,900 --> 01:01:45,000
landing and I'm going to 
disappoint you a little bit but 

1018
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:49,800
as of now we prefer, you know, 
keeping things close to the 

1019
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,200
chest for the moment in the 
sense that we really like to 

1020
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:57,500
release things that we are, very
sure that they're very neat and 

1021
01:01:57,500 --> 01:02:03,400
clean at least scientifically so
we'd rather, you know, not tease

1022
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,600
anything for six months. 
And then really is a big paper 

1023
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,300
that we've been working on for 
more than a year rather than Can

1024
01:02:10,300 --> 01:02:13,200
you know try to figure out road 
maps, Etc, because it's a 

1025
01:02:13,207 --> 01:02:16,400
constantly evolving space. 
I'm quite doubtful about road 

1026
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:22,300
maps in general. 
I think you know we are a team 

1027
01:02:22,300 --> 01:02:25,600
of 20 a bit more than 20 were 
mostly researchers. 

1028
01:02:25,900 --> 01:02:29,900
So what we're doing is research 
and what I can said oh is that 

1029
01:02:29,900 --> 01:02:32,100
so far? 
We have not something 

1030
01:02:32,100 --> 01:02:37,800
sufficiently cleans and and that
we're convinced self, 222 teased

1031
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:42,200
or really significant the public
and also I Have the team of 

1032
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:46,300
researchers that that I really, 
you know, firmly against the 

1033
01:02:46,300 --> 01:02:48,900
fact that we should tease this 
kind of things because for them 

1034
01:02:48,900 --> 01:02:51,200
it's science and that we should 
not be teasing science and I 

1035
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:55,500
respect that a lot. 
So I comply to the standards of 

1036
01:02:55,500 --> 01:02:58,500
the company and I just don't 
teach. 

1037
01:02:59,500 --> 01:03:01,300
Okay. 
Then maybe let me kind of zoom 

1038
01:03:01,300 --> 01:03:04,000
out a bit. 
What are your personal hopes for

1039
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,900
the ecosystem for 2023? 
So my personal hopes are 

1040
01:03:09,500 --> 01:03:14,600
rationalizing. 
So a lot more defy, think 2022, 

1041
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,300
and the events, you know, are 
grim. 

1042
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:20,900
And you know, I obviously I 
don't wish this would have 

1043
01:03:20,900 --> 01:03:24,400
happens to a lot of people that 
suffered from it, but on the 

1044
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:30,000
other hands it's it has good 
aspects in the sense that we are

1045
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,000
rationalizing. 
The mechanisms were designing. 

1046
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,500
I think a lot of time has been 
lost. 

1047
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,300
In talking design, what we 
should have focused on 

1048
01:03:38,300 --> 01:03:41,100
mechanisms designed, for 
example, that's a personal take,

1049
01:03:41,100 --> 01:03:44,700
not the to take of more flowers 
with I think like we've seen 

1050
01:03:44,700 --> 01:03:48,400
mechanisms that are impressively
relying on target incentives, 

1051
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,400
that inerrancy do not create 
value. 

1052
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:55,700
And I'm hoping that 2023 is 
going to once and for all, you 

1053
01:03:55,707 --> 01:03:58,800
know, at least largely diminish,
the impact of those. 

1054
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:04,400
There's this mechanisms in in 
this space and how, you know, 

1055
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:09,100
How talents are sometimes, you 
know, working on those designs, 

1056
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:13,300
what they could be working on 
more, some some, you know, more 

1057
01:04:13,300 --> 01:04:14,800
interesting. 
Primitives, very simple. 

1058
01:04:15,500 --> 01:04:17,700
So I think this is my first 
hope. 

1059
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,800
I also think that this is the 
perfect cure for building. 

1060
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,300
I'm very excited about what's 
going on. 

1061
01:04:23,300 --> 01:04:27,300
Like, I took two teams and that 
all building something very 

1062
01:04:27,300 --> 01:04:29,900
exciting. 
Like, I'm really excited to see 

1063
01:04:29,900 --> 01:04:32,100
like the the different 
announcements on Twitter that 

1064
01:04:32,100 --> 01:04:34,600
are going to be made in the next
few months. 

1065
01:04:35,500 --> 01:04:39,700
And I would say, My Last Hope is
that we regulations. 

1066
01:04:39,700 --> 01:04:46,100
Do not say you know, too fast 
decisions on the topic of defy. 

1067
01:04:46,300 --> 01:04:53,300
I think one very important key 
thing for 2023 is that they take

1068
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:55,900
the stance of, you know, 
regulating apps rather than 

1069
01:04:55,900 --> 01:04:59,600
protocols. 
It's a very deep, you know, I 

1070
01:04:59,607 --> 01:05:02,400
think this is the way they 
should behave and if it is the 

1071
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,000
don't again personal take that 
you did not. 

1072
01:05:05,100 --> 01:05:08,800
I feel like this could endanger 
largely the system. 

1073
01:05:09,300 --> 01:05:12,200
And finally, I hope for more 
institutional, you know, 

1074
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:16,400
starting playing around defy. 
This does not like a good start 

1075
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:20,500
for 2023 because like with the 
FX heavens and everything people

1076
01:05:20,500 --> 01:05:24,200
do not feel, you know, inclined 
to get into D Phi again and it's

1077
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,400
soon. 
But I'm hoping that with, you 

1078
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,700
know, cleaner mechanisms no 
protocols. 

1079
01:05:28,700 --> 01:05:31,300
That I have been sufficient, 
trust like em, especially 

1080
01:05:31,300 --> 01:05:34,900
thinking of the nurses. 
Say, for example, the safe now. 

1081
01:05:34,900 --> 01:05:39,700
So A is I think once we have, 
you know, sufficiently 

1082
01:05:39,700 --> 01:05:43,200
battle-tested Primitives like 
this or you wanna swap, we can 

1083
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,200
start thinking about onboarding,
like the next order of magnitude

1084
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,500
of Futures. 
And I'm really hoping one of 

1085
01:05:48,500 --> 01:05:52,000
those companies, you know, go 
big and some on somebody's to 

1086
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,400
actually connect us to the rest 
of the world. 

1087
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,400
And yeah I have a lot of Hope in
this industry leaders and I hope

1088
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:02,000
that more for will also you know
be part of those very soon which

1089
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:05,000
is it is in a greater way to do 
so.
