You can deposit crypto asset in a Morpho Vault on the Morpho interface or by using an app from the Morpho ecosystem.
Vault v1 APY
A Morpho Vault APY (what suppliers earn) is not fixed and may fluctuate over time based on market conditions. The NET APY can be broken down into:
The Native APY, from interest paid by borrowers. It will depend on the utilization rate of the underlying Morpho markets (supply and demand).
The rewards APR, any rewards provided by third parties to a Market or a Vault for a limited period of time.
The MORPHO rewards APR voted by the Morpho DAO.
Choosing a vault v1
The choice of a Vault depends on the user’s risk profile and priorities. There’s several criteria to assess which Vault is right for you:
Who is the curator? What’s their track record and expertise ?
What risks is the Vault exposed to? Assess the markets it allocates to as some may be seen as riskier than other (collateral exposure, LLTV, Oracle, etc.).
The curator’s performance fee.
Current and historical Net APY (interest generated and rewards).
Vault v1 risks
Along with general risks associated with Morpho, using Earn has specific risks including:
Bad debt risk: There is a risk that a position’s collateral value falls below the borrowed amount before it can be liquidated leading to bad debt. In such cases, the bad debt is shares the losses proportionally among the lenders.
Liquidity risk: There is a risk that all liquidity is borrowed. In this case, you might not be able to withdraw your assets right away. Instead, you will have to wait until new liquidity is available.
Vault risk: Key roles within a Morpho Vault wield significant power, impacting user interests. When investing in a Morpho Vault, it is important to conduct thorough due diligence on the vault’s settings and its allocation strategy, as well as to stay up to date with its changes.
