Definitive x Morpho: Capital Efficient Yield Generation
Hyperstaking strategy on Morpho Blue’s lending markets
Midas and LeadBlock: Pioneering the mTBILL-Backed Lending Market on Morpho Blue
In decentralized finance’s (DeFi) ever-evolving landscape, finding innovative ways to secure and enhance yields remains a top priority for savvy investors. That’s why we at Midas, in collaboration with LeadBlock Partners, are thrilled to unveil the mTBILL/USDC lending market and LeadBlock-managed USDC RWA MetaMorpho vault on Morpho Blue.The mTBILL/USDC market is a strategic approach to leveraging U.S. Treasury Bills for enhanced yields. Managed by LeadBlock, the USDC RWA MetaMorpho Vault enables users to put their USDC to work, earning the risk-free rate of return alongside DeFi yield.This introduction of a yield-bearing stablecoin into a top decentralised money market grants lower and more consistent stablecoin lending rates, while offering a medium for capital-efficient borrowing.INTRODUCING MORPHO BLUEMorpho Blue blends traditional finance principles with cutting-edge innovation. Its isolated money markets enable verified, overcollateralized mTBILL suppliers to confidently borrow USDC. The unique design also facilitates exceptional lending rate splits, offering users a competitive loan-to-value (LTV) ratio within a stable, dollar-denominated environment.Further, Morpho Blue paves the way for the seamless creation of MetaMorpho Vaults, which are directly integrated with Morpho Blue lending markets. These vaults consolidate various USDC-utilizing markets (or markets with the same loan token) into a curated, risk-managed yield strategy.Instead of juggling multiple positions, Morpho users can earn passive income by depositing idle USDC into the LeadBlock USDC RWA Vault, accessing both U.S. Treasury and DeFi-sourced yields.WHY WE CHOSE MORPHO * High LTV Lending: Morpho enables Midas users to collateralize mTBILL for USDC loans at over 90% LTV, offering the most stable rates available in DeFi. * Enhanced Yield: For those looking to maximize their USDC’s potential, Morpho presents a risk-managed pathway to an enhanced yield, backed by a regulatory-compliant, yield-bearing token in mTBILL. * Top-Notch Security: With measures like Liquidation Loan-to-Value (LLTV), adaptive interest rate models, and market selection for risk management, users enjoy a secure investment environment.WHO CAN INVEST?While the mTBILL token is only available to verified Midas users outside the U.S., the LeadBlock USDC RWA MetaMorpho vault is available to all Morpho users and USDC holders.KEEN TO LEARN MORE?This announcement only scratches the surface of what we're offering.

2024: The Year Blockchain Goes Mainstream with TON and Telegram
Since the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2008, blockchain technology has been expected to revolutionize financial transactions by introducing peer-to-peer settlement layers. While blockchain has grown significantly, it’s struggled to achieve mass adoption and sustainable, real-world use cases outside niche areas.However, this narrative shifts with the introduction of TON (The Open Network), integrated into Telegram. At Token2049 in September 2023, Telegram announced its native crypto wallet, TON Space. Within a year, the ecosystem has exploded, boasting over 10 million monthly active users, surpassing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem. Notably, Tether’s USDT on TON became the fastest-growing stablecoin in history, reaching $1 billion in circulation within just four months.2024: The Year Blockchain Goes Mainstream with TON and Telegram [https://blog.midas.app/content/images/2024/09/data-src-image-4cb5e6c2-6915-417f-97b7-c46f7c0ab944.png]Source: tonstatsThis figure is still growing, as Hamster Combat marked the largest airdrop ever, with 130 million users claiming the token. Going forward, millions of new blockchain users will emerge as they acquire TON to claim rewards and participate in the on-chain ecosystem, exchanging tokens for USDT on a CEX or DEX.Beyond the "tap-to-earn" hype, I expect the TON ecosystem to grow sustainably based on three key advantages: 1. Telegram’s large user base 2. Exceptional user experience (UX) 3. Low transaction feesOver time, I believe Telegram is steering toward becoming a global SuperApp, similar to WeChat, with TON serving as the decentralized settlement layer for financial transactions. This marks a significant step toward fulfilling the original vision of blockchain—a peer-to-peer electronic cash system with millions of users globally.“2024 will go down in history as the year when hundreds of millions of people became familiar with blockchain.” (Pavel Durov [https://t.me/durov/336?ref=blog.midas.app], Founder of Telegram)KEY ADVANTAGES OF TON AND TELEGRAM INTEGRATION 1. Exceptional User Experience (UX)One of the biggest barriers to blockchain’s mass adoption has been complex UX—users must deal with seed phrases, gas fees, and complicated transactions. These friction points prevent mainstream users from utilizing on-chain transactions for day-to-day money transfers.In stark contrast, Telegram’s TON wallet operates like a seamless Web 2.0 application. Sending USDT on Telegram is as intuitive as sending a regular message. See the three simple steps below.
