Morpho Expands Multichain Deployments
Morpho, a base infrastructure layer for lending applications, expanded its Morpho Stack—a suite of smart contracts—across Polygon POS, Arbitrum, Optimism, Scroll, Ink, World Chain, and Fraxtal as part of its multichain strategy. The deployment includes Morpho Vaults 1.1, Oracles, the Universal Rewards Distributor, and key infrastructure components. Developers can leverage Morpho’s infrastructure to build customized lending and borrowing applications, as seen with Moonwell and Morpho Blue. Morpho allows developers to set custom risk parameter configurations. Morpho Blue is the protocol’s native lending platform and the largest lending protocol on Base by TVL.
L2Beat Refines Stage 1 Requirements
L2Beat proposed changes to its Stage 1 rollup decentralization criteria, focusing on upgrade powers and exit mechanisms. The updated requirements clarify that a Stage 1 rollup can only indefinitely block an L2→L1 message or push an invalid L2→L1 message if at least 75% of the Security Council is compromised. To meet Stage 1, rollups must either implement a forced transaction mechanism or allow a Security Council minority (<25%) to enforce censorship resistance. Under the refined definition, OP Mainnet, ZKSync Era, and Starknet no longer qualify as Stage 1 in their current form. L2Beat is providing a 6-month transition period for projects to adjust before implementing the changes. OP Mainnet noted that it will upgrade accordingly.
