  • Coinbase provides the interface while borrowing is executed by Morpho smart contracts on the Base network.
  • Borrowers can take up to 75% loan-to-value with liquidation at 86% LTV and no fixed repayment schedule.
  • Wrapped ETH is the initial collateral, with support for staked-ETH (cbETH) planned.
  • Coinbase-linked on-chain lending has surpassed $1.25 billion in originations backed by about $1.37 billion in collateral.
