After a year of research, development, and fine-tuning, we are very proud to release Morpho’s Protocol, which introduces several new concepts to DeFi.

Morpho is a lending pool optimizer. It means that by using Morpho, one upgrades its positions on lending protocols such as Compound or AAVE with Peer-to-Peer liquidity. Today, we are announcing [Morpho-Compound](http://compound.morpho.xyz/).

Why use Morpho-Compound?
------------------------

Morpho-Compound is an optimized gateway to Compound. If you use Morpho-Compound instead of Compound directly, you will improve your rates significantly for both borrowing and supplying liquidity.

Any Tradeoffs?
--------------

Morpho-Compound preserves the same experience, the same liquidity, and the same liquidation parameters as the underlying pool.

If one wants to borrow one billion dollars from Morpho-Compound today, this is possible as Morpho taps into Compound’s liquidity. Morpho-Compound’s collateral factors and oracles directly mirror the on-chain Compound’s parameters to mimic the liquidation risk.

You can check out Morpho’s codebase on [GitHub](https://github.com/morphodao/morpho-core-v1) and the [Trail of Bits audit](https://github.com/morphodao/morpho-core-v1/blob/main/audits/Morpho%20Labs%20Final%20Report.pdf) report.

How does it work?
-----------------

Learn more about Morpho by taking a look at our [White Paper](http://whitepaper.morpho.xyz/) or our [Documentation](http://docs.morpho.xyz/).
