Morpho deleted a post claiming its curator business model relies on private profit-sharing.
Morpho Deletes Curator Post Citing 7% Subsidy and 80/15/5 Split, CEO Paul Frambot Says AI Tool Posted It
Morpho's official X account published and removed a post on Curator economics, according to The Defiant. The post said most Curator businesses cannot survive on Vault fees alone and pointed to off-chain revenue sharing, custom wrappers or protocol subsidies. It gave two examples: a retail integration subsidized by the protocol to a 7% target yield, and a distribution arrangement splitting related yield 80/15/5.
Why the post mattered
Aave founder Stani Kulechov called the post extremely bearish for MORPHO holders. The criticism was not only about the numbers, but about what they suggested: if Curator incentives depend on subsidies, token holders may question how protocol value is distributed. Frambot did not confirm whether the data in the post was accurate.
AI marketing tool as the cause
Morpho CEO Paul Frambot said the content was automatically published by a third-party AI marketing tool. The team deleted the post, revoked the tool's account permissions and is investigating the cause. The episode shows how automated social-media publishing can create governance and reputational risk when sensitive claims are posted without human review.
What readers should watch
The investigation has not produced a result. The key questions remain how the tool generated the post, whether the 7% subsidy and 80/15/5 split examples reflect real arrangements, and what safeguards Morpho will add before its official account publishes again.
