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%)

ComponentAPYSource
Base yield~4%Borrower interest
Rewards~0.5-1%WELL + MORPHO via Merkl
Total~4.5-5%Sustainable, from real demand
Yields come from real borrowing demand, not unsustainable emissions. Check current APY with npx tsx status.ts.

Quick Start

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

The setup wizard will:

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

Commands

Interactive Setup

bash
npx tsx setup.ts

Guides you through wallet configuration and preferences.

Check Position & APY

bash
npx tsx status.ts

Returns: current deposit, vault shares, APY, wallet balances.

Generate Report

bash
# Telegram/Discord format (default)
npx tsx report.ts

# JSON format (for automation)
npx tsx report.ts --json

# Plain text
npx tsx report.ts --plain

Beautiful formatted report showing position, rewards, and estimated earnings.

Deposit USDC

bash
npx tsx deposit.ts <amount>
# Example: deposit 100 USDC
npx tsx deposit.ts 100

Deposits USDC into the Moonwell vault. Requires sufficient USDC balance and gas (ETH on Base).

Withdraw

bash
# Withdraw specific amount of USDC
npx tsx withdraw.ts <amount>

# Withdraw all (redeem all shares)
npx tsx withdraw.ts all

Check Rewards

bash
npx tsx rewards.ts

Returns: claimable MORPHO, WELL, and other reward tokens from Merkl.

Claim Rewards

bash
npx tsx rewards.ts claim

Claims all pending rewards from Merkl distributor to your wallet.

Auto-Compound

bash
npx tsx compound.ts

All-in-one command that:

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

Heartbeat Integration

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

Deposit SizeCompound CheckRationale
$10,000+DailyLarge positions accumulate meaningful rewards quickly
$1,000-$10,000Every 3 daysBalance between gas costs and reward accumulation
$100-$1,000WeeklySmall rewards need time to exceed gas costs
<$100Bi-weeklyMinimal positions, compound only when worthwhile
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

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

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

  "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

  • Dedicated wallet — Create a hot wallet just for this skill
  • Limited funds — Only deposit what you're comfortable having in a hot wallet
  • Secure key storage — Use encrypted file or 1Password
  • Monitor activity — Periodically check wallet transactions
  • 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:
  • Claiming rewards from Merkl distributor
  • Swapping tokens to USDC via Odos aggregator
  • Depositing USDC back into the vault
