V2 Vaults

Introduction

Morpho V2 Vaults are a new class of vault that features an updated architecture, enhancing access to yield, liquidity, and the user experience. Crucially, V2 Vaults introduce a universal adapter model and more granular role separation.

The range of updates opens the door to more sophisticated yield strategies, including fixed-rate and permissioned lending.

V1 vs. V2

By using adapters, curators can tap into broader liquidity sources, build meta-vaults, or streamline the user experience, while also benefiting from more granular risk-parameter tuning and support for fixed-rate lending. V2 also introduces more granular role separation and enhanced risk and compliance controls.
