Authorize a budget of $54k MORPHO for a grant to support a replacement for the Morpho Lite app.
Detail
The Morpho Association has recently made the decision to sunset the Morpho Lite app. While this interface was successful in its goal of allowing support to be extended to new chains with a smaller engineering effort, it has become clear that the limited functionality presents insufficient data to users.
The majority of lite app chains already have high quality external UIs and will not be significantly affected by this change. Three do not : Celo, Hemi, and TAC.
As such, the Association is requesting a budget of $54k MORPHO (based on a one week TWAP immediately prior to the time of disbursement) for a grant to Feather, a Morpho stack builder, to provide frontend support to the three chains that lack high quality third party interfaces. Feather will commit to providing support for these chains for a two year duration.
My name is Carter W. - I represent the Feather team, a multichain Morpho interface builder. We look forward to expanding the interface support to Celo, Hemi, and Tac while also helping push growth for all of these chains.
Our address tied to this grant is as follows: 0xB4b903C89af8B4A0fC3215033481Dda00f8281f9
It’s great to see Feather stepping in to support these three networks. Would you be able to share any tentative timelines with the community for when support is expected to go live?
The app is launch ready for all 3 chains, we are now discussing with the various networks to solidify marketing announcements and launch dates for the Feather app.
Our goal is for all 3 to be live before end of January, but it may get extended into February depending on the respective network’s needs.
Thanks for the prompt reply Carter and glad to hear that the app is ready to go. That timeline seems more than reasonable, especially when considering the need to coordinate co-marketing support accross various third parties. Good luck with launch!
