How does
@Morpho keep ending up in the middle of DeFi’s strangest blowups?
I'm talking about incidents like:
1⃣
@Paxos PAXG oracle misconfiguration
A decimal error massively overvalued PAXG collateral, letting one borrower take ~$230K USDC against roughly $350 of PAXG.
The funds were later reportedly repaid.
2⃣
@usualmoney USD0++ repricing
Usual suddenly lowered USD0++’s early-redemption floor to $0.87 while some Morpho markets still priced it at $1.
The result was a wave of forced deleveraging and liquidations.
3⃣
@StreamDefi xUSD collapse
Stream disclosed a $93M loss as xUSD collapsed.
Morpho markets still valued xUSD near $1, which prevented liquidations from clearing properly and left lenders exposed.
4⃣
@ResolvLabs USR exploit
An attacker minted ~80M unbacked USR from roughly $200K.
Morpho’s oracle kept valuing the collateral near $1 as the market price collapsed, leaving millions in bad debt.
5⃣
@re PT-reUSD liquidation cascade
A ~$320K trade moved PT-reUSD down only ~3%.
That was enough to wipe out ~$36.4M of highly leveraged Morpho positions today.
Morpho’s protocol was not hacked or exploited in any of these five cases.
It just keeps catching strays.
