Arc x Morpho: Midnight and Fixed-Rate Lending Onchain

🎬 Arc x Morpho: Midnight and Fixed-Rate Lending Onchain
Midnight is Morpho’s noncustodial protocol for fixed-rate, fixed-term lending, built around isolated and immutable markets. In this session, Merlin Egalité, Cofounder of Morpho, will explain why Morpho built Midnight, how fixed maturities, collateral, and offers work, and what developers should consider when designing products around onchain credit. The conversation will also explore what these ideas could mean for builders on Arc, followed by live Q&A.

➤ Morpho has launched Midnight, a non-custodial protocol for fixed-rate, fixed-term lending, designed to cater to institutional demand for predictability and bridge TradFi concepts to DeFi.
➤ Midnight introduces features like isolated markets, fixed maturities, and flexible collateral options, enabling complex strategies and potentially integrating with emerging stablecoin ecosystems like ARC.
➤ The protocol aims to offer a more structured approach to on-chain credit, allowing for predictable yields and risk management, with developers encouraged to explore its primitive layer and provided tools like the router for integration.
