Introduction
Avantgarde is a crypto native asset management, advisory and research firm, specialising in asset liability management, R&D, special situations, risk monitoring, DeFi and treasury strategies, as well as liquidity provision, token-related growth initiatives, and regulated DeFi products. Avantgarde has conducted work for leading protocols including Uniswap, The Graph, Gitcoin, Arbitrum, Nexus Mutual, Paraswap, and others.
What Avantgarde Brings
The core team behind Avantgarde brings a wealth of experience from firms like Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Messari, Genesis, and has been active in DeFi for several years, notably as founders of the onchain asset management protocol Enzyme, which has been on mainnet since 2019 without a single major protocol incident. We also serve as active delegates on Uniswap, Compound, and Safe, where we’ve participated in initiatives such as the Uniswap Bridge Assessment Committee, contributed with R&D to various proposals in line with our expertise, instigated RFP processes as well as spearheaded governance proposals.
We will bring our expertise in protocol development and finance with lessons from other DAOs to build out an efficient governance system for Morpho, promote community-driven ecosystem growth, and push for Morpho to establish itself as a leading lending protocol while steering the DAO to financial sustainability; taking a long-term approach to this partnership.
Disclosure:
Avantgarde is actively contributing and working with a number of chains across the wider Ethereum ecosystem, and is currently a delegate on Uniswap, Compound, and Safe. We will look to leverage our network and experience from these ecosystems, and will diligently disclose any conflicts of interest should any such situation arise. Note that members of the Avantgarde team are active users of Morpho vaults on a personal basis.
