How to interpret this $MORPHO ๐Ÿ“ˆโœจ

๐Ÿ”—โšก Although $MORPHO โ€œFeesโ€ are reported (โ‰ˆ US $284 m annualised) ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿš€ it appears these are gross protocol fees and not net revenue ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ”ฅ recognized by the protocol treasury/governance. ๐Ÿ“ˆโœจ

๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ โ€œRevenueโ€ being reported as zero suggests that the protocol ๐Ÿ”ฅ hasnโ€™t yet activated its mechanism to capture and retain fees in the treasury/governance. ๐Ÿ”—โšก The protocol may currently pass through most of the value to users (suppliers/borrowers) rather than capturing it. ๐Ÿ“ˆโœจ

๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ โ€œEarningsโ€ being negative means that after incentives the protocolโ€™s net position is a loss (-US $22.28 m annualised). ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿš€ This implies that incentives are significant and exceed the protocolโ€™s fee capture. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’

๐Ÿ“ˆโœจ The article about โ€œZero Protocol Feesโ€ backs up that the fee model is not yet active ๐Ÿ”—โšก and that revenue could start when governance chooses to turn on the fee switch. ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’
