smUSDC, issued by the Morpho Protocol smart contracts under the governance of MORPHO DAO tokenholders, is a lending-token representing a pro-rata vault share that accrues interest from supplying USD Coin (USDC) into curated, overcollateralized onchain credit markets. Holders deposit USD Coin (USDC) into a Morpho Vault that allocates the assets across isolated Morpho Markets, receiving ERC4626 share tokens whose value rises as interest accrues. Yield is variable, set by the AdaptiveCurveIRM targeting roughly 90% utilization, and combines borrower interest, third-party rewards, and DAO-voted incentives. The Morpho Association charges no fees, though vaults may apply a performance fee up to 50% of generated yield plus curator-set management fees. The publishing entity is Morpho Association, a French Association registered at 24 rue de Clichy, 75009 Paris (SIREN 911 156 933), which states the asset is not issued by a single corporate entity and that it does not control, operate, or run the protocols. It discloses no regulator and disclaims supervision under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The claim is a non-custodial onchain position against the vault. Access is permissionless subject to sanctions and Restricted-Territory screening. Suppliers withdraw the underlying plus accrued interest on demand, subject to available market liquidity. Vault shares follow the ERC20 and ERC4626 standards, minted on deposit and burned on withdrawal, with positions accruing interest onchain. The protocol is deployed across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, OP Mainnet, Polygon POS, Unichain, World Chain, HyperEVM, Katana, Monad, Stable, and Tempo. Settlement is onchain and effectively immediate subject to liquidity; market pricing relies on a per-market oracle.
