Decentralized lending protocol Morpho has gone live with Morpho Midnight on the Base mainnet, introducing fixed-rate, fixed-term loans to its onchain credit network. The new protocol operates alongside Morpho Blue, which continues to offer variable-rate lending markets.

Loans are issued as fixed obligations, with terms determined through competing offers rather than a protocol-defined utilization curve.
