Morpho blames automated AI tool for deleted post questioning curator business sustainability

  • Morpho removed an AI-generated post questioning curator businesses’ reliance on vault fees.
  • The post cited a 7% target yield, 25% APY fee and 80/15/5 revenue split.
  • Paul Frambot said Morpho revoked the tool’s access and began investigating the publication.

Morpho co-founder and CEO Paul Frambot said a third-party AI marketing tool wrote and published a post from Morpho’s official X account that questioned whether curator businesses can survive on vault fees alone. The post, which Morpho removed before revoking the tool’s access, said the businesses depend on private distribution agreements, custom wrappers and protocol subsidies, and cited examples involving a 7% target yield, a 25% APY fee and an 80/15/5 split. Frambot did not dispute the post’s figures but said Morpho was still investigating what triggered it. Aave founder Stani Kulechov called the message the "most bearish take" for MORPHO holders. Morpho’s documentation describes curators as managers of lending-market allocations and vault risk parameters, and lists fee wrappers, onchain splitters and offchain legal agreements as possible distribution-revenue structures. The incident has raised questions about curator economics, Morpho’s governance-controlled fee switch and the risks of allowing automated tools to publish through official accounts.
