🌱 Morpho Labs’ Core Values

Justify Everything:

We constantly seek and prioritize the best ideas and solutions by backing every decision we make with bullet-proof reasoning.

We justify every decision in our operations - whether it's a strategic, product, staff, protocol, development or growth decision. For no truths to remain hidden or unaddressed, every action and decision is open for discussion and must be backed by solid reasoning. Our approach is uncompromising; we prioritize the best ideas and solutions, even if it means rendering months of work obsolete. This value eliminates the need for office politics, as every decision stands on the strength of its justification.

Laser-Focus:

We empower our team to stay laser-focused, channeling our resources and efforts on our mission.

Our approach to work is laser focused, we channel our resources and efforts to one overarching objective. We avoid distractions and dispersing across multiple objectives, and we make strategic decisions that align strictly with our primary mission of making finance a common good. We empower team members to maintain this focus, even if it means declining meetings or adjusting deadlines for the sake of deeper exploration within our operational capabilities.

Take Steps:

We ship fast by reducing scope, not quality.

DeFi moves fast and demands the highest standards, and so do we. When we have to make trade-offs, we carefully narrow the scope of our projects while preserving speed, efficiency and security. This approach allows us to gather valuable feedback and insights, which are crucial for subsequent iterations and improvements. Step by step, we broaden our scope without cutting corners on quality.
