Strengths and weaknesses

In its favour

  • Large, fast-growing book: ~$2.7B on DefiLlama, and Morpho vaults of $1.36B with no share-price decline in any vault above $0.5M.
  • Publishes research every week (a weekly digest and articles) and uses timelocks plus 2–3 sentinels on its main V2 vaults.

Against it

  • Short track record: its first curated vault dates from September 2025.
  • Its AUM relies on few counterparties: most Morpho assets sit in a handful of issuer-partner vaults (PYUSD, RLUSD). A large part of the DefiLlama figure is BoringVault strategies on Ink ($898M) rather than lending-market curation.
