Morpho Blue (Tempo)
Takes as collateral: bitcoin
One of 10 deployments of Morpho Blue · also on Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, Hyperliquid L1, Katana, Monad, Optimism, Polygon, Unichain
Dollar loans only: other currencies are separate books, never added in
Debt and rates count loans made in US dollars and dollar stablecoins. Loans in euros, francs, yen, ether or bitcoin itself are separate books, shown by currency on each venue, never added in.
- BTC collateral — the supplied amount of the venue's pegged-bitcoin reserves as each pool reports it — what is deposited, not what is pledged against a loan.
- Liquidates at — the markets taken together at one threshold; debt and collateral as each market reports them, thresholds as read on 2026-10-01 (2026-09/morpho_chains.json).
What “Liquidates at” is: one price for the whole book, not a forecast
"Liquidates at" is the bitcoin price at which this book, taken as one position, stops covering its debt at its liquidation thresholds — an aggregate, not a forecast: individual loans are levered differently and liquidate above it.
Loan duration is not a venue figure on an on-chain pool: these markets are open-term, and a position runs until it is repaid or liquidated. A fixed term exists only where the venue writes one — the custodial desks (cefi_credit_rates.term_days) and Gavel's auction, which is fixed-rate and fixed-term by construction.
10 of 10 criteria researched. What the criteria are →
Markets — as served, not a venue rate
One row per market, as the venue publishes them. These are market rates: combining them into a single venue rate is a weighting across this venue's markets, and choosing one here would be a methodology decision taken in a web page.
No BTC market rows are served for this venue. It runs contracts, so the absence is this dataset’s, not the venue’s.
Price
What does credit cost here, and how is the price formed?
| Rate formation | algorithmic_utilisationsourceMorpho Blue core 0x10EE9AAC980A180dd4DcFc96C746d60B0EA88f97 on Tempo (chain 4217) — MarketParams.irm. Rate is a function of utilisation: algorithmic_utilisation. |
|---|---|
| Term structure | open_endedsourceMorpho Blue core 0x10EE9AAC980A180dd4DcFc96C746d60B0EA88f97 on Tempo (chain 4217) — borrow()/repay() carry no maturity argument; a position persists until repaid or liquidated. |
| Rate certainty | variablesourceMorpho Blue core 0x10EE9AAC980A180dd4DcFc96C746d60B0EA88f97 on Tempo (chain 4217) — MarketParams.irm: every one of the 1 bitcoin-symbol market(s) read on 2026-09-30 names AdaptiveCurveIRM 0x112fd4042E442C3C12C67AD23587b0afe36eB74E. The borrow rate is recomputed from utilisation on every accrueInterest(); nothing is fixed at origination. |
Quality
What stands behind a position, and what can change under the reader?
| Oracle dependency | singlesourceMorpho Blue core 0x10EE9AAC980A180dd4DcFc96C746d60B0EA88f97 on Tempo (chain 4217) — MarketParams.oracle. A market is an immutable tuple (loanToken, collateralToken, oracle, irm, lltv) fixed at createMarket(); exactly one oracle, not upgradeable, not shared across markets. Read per market with idToMarketParams(id) on 2026-09-30. |
|---|---|
| Default & liquidation | thresholdsourceMorpho Blue core 0x10EE9AAC980A180dd4DcFc96C746d60B0EA88f97 on Tempo (chain 4217) — liquidate() is permitted once a position's LTV exceeds its market's LLTV. The incentive factor is a deterministic function of LLTV, not a governance parameter. |
| Custody & backing | protocol_custodialsourceMorpho Blue core 0x10EE9AAC980A180dd4DcFc96C746d60B0EA88f97 on Tempo (chain 4217) — a singleton holding all supplied and collateral assets; supplyCollateral() transfers to the contract and the borrower holds no key over it. |
| Recourse | non_recoursesourceMorpho Blue core 0x10EE9AAC980A180dd4DcFc96C746d60B0EA88f97 on Tempo (chain 4217) — a borrower's liability is bounded by the seized collateral. Where a liquidation leaves debt uncovered the shortfall is realised against that market's suppliers as bad debt, not pursued against the borrower. |
| Track record | 4 months observedsourceDerived from the first aggregator observation this dataset holds for the venue (defi_rates_llama, 2026-05-25; the registry holds no first_date for it). This is a LOWER BOUND on the venue's age, not the age itself: a venue trading long before the aggregator began listing it reads short here. The observer is the aggregator, not the venue's own contracts. Not typed, and not a claim about the venue's longevity. |
Composition
Who and what makes up this market?
| Collateral accepted | BTC-collateral markets with $1,000 or more of debt (1): cbBTCsourceMorpho Blue core 0x10EE9AAC980A180dd4DcFc96C746d60B0EA88f97 on Tempo (chain 4217), read 2026-09-30 (registry/resolution/2026-09/morpho_chains.json): candidates from Morpho's API (api.morpho.org), each confirmed with idToMarketParams(id) and market(id) on the core. 1 market(s) whose collateral is a bitcoin representation carry $1,000 or more of debt (the dollar values are Morpho's API's; that debt exists is read from the core). Collateral tokens: cbBTC 0x20C000000000000000000000c412Ec89D0c08be5 (6 decimals). Largest by debt: cbBTC/pathUSD at LLTV 77% (about $474,298 borrowed). ⚠ BOUND: a market Morpho's API does not list is not found. Permissionless venue, so the list is what carries debt today, not a fixed set. |
|---|---|
| Book depth & concentration | unknown (no per-venue counterparty count exists in this registry or in the comparison payload, so depth and concentration cannot be established. This is a gap in THIS DATASET, not in the venue, and is a different value from `undisclosed`, which would mean the venue does not publish it.) |
| Observability | price: partial — Observed through the aggregator (DefiLlama). The aggregator's rows are each pool's published borrow and supply rates as it reports them — not a read of the venue's own contracts, and not checked against one. As of 2026-10-01. quantity: partial — Observed through the aggregator (DefiLlama): bitcoin collateral is the supplied amount of each pegged-bitcoin reserve, converted at the day's bitcoin reference, and debt is the borrowed amount per pool or vault. Neither is a read of the venue's own contracts. As of 2026-10-01. composition: none — Not obtainable from an aggregator — composition is loan-level and requires event ingestion, which is not planned for this venue. |
What the loans are denominated in
| Borrowed in | Assets | Size (USD equivalent) | In the loan asset | Read by |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Each currency is a separate book; the dollar equivalents compare sizes and are never added together.
Backing chain
Each link from what this venue takes as collateral down to the bitcoin it rests on, in order, with how each link was established.
How a chain is read, and what it does not claim
backing_chain: the ordered claims standing between a creditor and the coins, each link derived from a sourced fact already held and carrying it in `derived_from` — the custody cell, the venue's borrow card, or wrapper_registry.yaml for who holds the bitcoin behind a token. A `representation` link has one branch per token the venue takes; branches are alternatives, not a sequence. A link nobody has established is shown with status `incomplete` and names what is missing — it is never dropped, because a missing link omitted makes a long chain look short. `undisclosed` means the party does not publish it; `incomplete` means this dataset has not established it. NEVER SCORED AND NEVER COUNTED: no length, link count or ranking is published, and none should be derived — chain length and link transparency are orthogonal (ETP-backed margin is the longest chain here and every link of it is regulated). `recourse` is what the creditor holds beyond the chain. ⚠ Tokens are identified BY SYMBOL: the wrapper registry is not keyed by chain or address, so every `representation` link carries a `deployment` step that is incomplete — whether a token is native to the chain of the venue or a bridge receipt (one more link) is not established — and a symbol the registry knows to name a different token on a venue is shown unresolved, not given that wrapper's holders.

The generic axis set
Identical for every venue, identically computed. An axis that cannot be computed here renders its reason — never silently omitted, because an omitted axis says it was not considered. A figure that covers only part of what the axis asks is marked, with what it leaves out beneath it. Collateral, debt and the borrow and lend rates are the tiles at the top of this page.
