This page explains the difference between the Morpho Association and contributors to the Morpho protocol.

Morpho Association​

The Morpho Association is a French nonprofit entity grouping the main contributors and users of the Morpho protocol.

Its aim is to develop the Morpho protocol by funding contributors, or by facilitating access to the protocol for users and developers. In practice, the association:

  • Hosts a front end to the protocol to facilitate the access of new users to Morpho: morpho.org
  • Hosts technical documentation to facilitate the work of new Morpho developers: docs.morpho.org
  • Holds the intellectual property of open-source codebases such as morpho-optimizers and hosts it on the morpho-org GitHub under a GPL3 license.

The association does not research or develop Morpho software, contributors such as Morpho Labs or Institut Louis Bachelier (ILB) do.
