Contributors

Engagement in the Morpheus community has been robust, with extensive discussions around MRC 36, which focuses on rewarding long-term committed contributors.

Implementation of MOR rewards staking to gain for all contributor types, as per MRC 42, aims to foster a more committed and engaged contributor base, ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of the Morpheus ecosystem.

Capital

Six protocol-owned liquidity generation events concluded, resulting in the use of 525 stETH for liquidity. A key highlight was the last event utilizing 75% of stETH yield for market MOR buy, reflecting changes implemented through MRC 43.

Furthermore, stETH staking on Morpheus hit an all-time high of 150,403 stETH on May 30th, showcasing strong community participation and trust in the protocol.

The last protocol-owned Liquidity Generation Events used 75% of stETH yield for market MOR buy according to changes implemented with MRC 43.

stETH staking on Morpheus also passed all time high at 150,403 stETH on May 30th.

Code

The adoption of the MOR weight time proposal (MRC 37) was integrated into Snapshot 6. This proposal ensures that when all weight budgets are depleted, new code will be rewarded by reallocating weights from legacy and orphaned code. This approach incentivizes developers who align early with the project without the promise of immediate reward, fostering a healthier open-source environment. Developers will have clarity on how long their contributions will be valued, promoting sustained engagement.

The Smart Agent release 0.0.8

This marked another important step to the future where users are able to interact with their Smart Agent using natural language, similar to how Google's search engine made the internet accessible to the general public.

Current Features:

1. Fetch price, market cap, and TVL of coins and tokens supported on CoinGecko.

2. Web interface.

3. Wallet integrations for MetaMask, Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet, and WalletConnect.

4. Web3 swap agent (macOS only).

Pending Features:

1. General-purpose chat with local files agent.

2. Example queries like balance check, address retrieval, sending ETH, and fetching market data for various tokens.

Compute

The compute testnet started on Arbitrum Sepolia, with the mainnet expected to launch in Q3 2024.

The testnet Morpheus Node wallet and proxy are available in the latest releases in the Lumerin-protocol/Morpheus-Lumerin-Node repository. Anyone can download and experiment with it. While a testnet token faucet is not yet set up, there is an option for developers to deploy their own testnet environments for testing and project iterations.
