Not everyone knows this, but you can lend directly to individual Morpho markets through @monarchlend, a third-party Morpho interface. This is useful for a few reasons:
- Depositing into a single market lets you earn the APY of just that market. Useful when the borrow rates are squeezed, and due to Morpho’s dynamic IRM, these can stay higher for longer. And you don’t even miss out on the $MORPHO rewards!
- You manage your own risk exposure, not having to rely on the curators to do it for you. With the recent trend of some curators lending against riskier and riskier collateral to grow their AUM, you should be careful which managed vaults you deposit into. If you’re a more advanced, hands-on user, you’re better off depositing into markets by yourself.
- You can deposit to unwhitelisted markets. Be very careful here, as ANYONE can deploy a Morpho market, but there were some instances when this was useful (e.g. the @imfcrypto markets). Seeing unwhitelisted markets is opt-in.
- You don’t pay a fee to curators. Not all curators take fees, those that do take 10% on average.
