Morpho Earn — Earn safe yield on your USDC

Earn yield on USDC via the Moonwell Flagship USDC vault on Base (Morpho protocol).

Vault: 0xc1256Ae5FF1cf2719D4937adb3bbCCab2E00A2Ca Chain: Base (8453) Asset: USDC (0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913)

Why This Vault?

The Moonwell Flagship USDC vault is one of the safest places to earn yield on Base:

• Powers Coinbase — Provides $20M+ liquidity to Coinbase's BTC/ETH borrow products
• Blue-chip collateral only — Loans backed by ETH, cbETH, wstETH, cbBTC
• Conservative LTV ratios — Healthy collateral requirements
• Isolated markets — Risk is compartmentalized
• No rehypothecation — Your USDC isn't lent recursively
• Battle-tested — Morpho's codebase is <650 lines, immutable, extensively audited
• Multi-layer governance — Moonwell DAO + Block Analitica/B.Protocol curators + Security Council

Current APY (~4.5-5%)

Yields come from real borrowing demand, not unsustainable emissions. Check current APY with npx tsx status.ts.

Quick Start

cd ~/clawd/skills/morpho-yield/scripts
npm install
npx tsx setup.ts

The setup wizard will:

1. Configure your wallet (private key file, env var, or 1Password)
2. Ask your notification preferences (daily/weekly reports)
3. Set compound threshold and auto-compound preference
4. Add monitoring to HEARTBEAT.md automatically

All-in-one command that:

1. Claims any pending rewards from Merkl
2. Swaps reward tokens (MORPHO, WELL) to USDC via Odos aggregator
3. Deposits the USDC back into the vault

Heartbeat Integration

After setup, your agent monitors the position based on deposit size:

The agent will:

• Check reward balances at the appropriate frequency
• Compound when rewards exceed your threshold (default: $0.50)
• Send position reports (daily/weekly based on preference)
• Alert you if gas is running low

Configuration

Config location: ~/.config/morpho-yield/config.json

{
  "wallet": {
    "source": "file",
    "path": "~/.clawd/vault/morpho.key"
  },
  "rpc": "https://rpc.moonwell.fi/main/evm/8453"
}

Preferences: ~/.config/morpho-yield/preferences.json

{
  "reportFrequency": "weekly",
  "compoundThreshold": 0.50,
  "autoCompound": true
}

Security

⚠️ This skill manages real funds. Review carefully:

• Private keys loaded at runtime from your chosen source
• Keys never logged or written to disk by scripts
• All transactions simulated before execution
• Contract addresses verified on each run
• Scripts show transaction preview before sending

Recommended Setup

1. Dedicated wallet — Create a hot wallet just for this skill
2. Limited funds — Only deposit what you're comfortable having in a hot wallet
3. Secure key storage — Use encrypted file or 1Password
4. Monitor activity — Periodically check wallet transactions
5. Keep gas funded — Maintain small ETH balance on Base for transactions

Rewards

The vault earns rewards beyond base APY via Merkl:

• WELL — Moonwell governance token incentives
• MORPHO — Morpho protocol incentives

Rewards update approximately every 8 hours. The compound.ts script handles:

1. Claiming rewards from Merkl distributor
2. Swapping tokens to USDC via Odos aggregator
3. Depositing USDC back into the vault

Error Handling

Dependencies

Scripts require Node.js 18+. Install deps before first run:

cd scripts && npm install
