Can someone at the @morpho team explain how I can borrow USDC at 4% (cbETH colllateral on @base) and then lend back to @re7 USDC pool for 20% (and I am not even counting $MORPHO incentives). Is it because the Moonwell USDC vault $WELL incentives are boosting the yield for everybody? (and why isn't this arbed out already?)

That's the power of isolated markets (and having a vault aggregating liquidity across all these markets). When you are borrowing, you are borrowing directly from the cbETH - USDC market - interest rate seen in screenshot #1. When lending into the re7 USDC Vault, the vault aggregates across all the following markets in the second screenshot. The higher yield comes from the the aggregation of the rates across all these markets. This is impossible in a monolithic pool since all assets on the same chain would be pooled together and have the same interest rate model + risk parameters.

Ok so a bunch of the yield comes from this cbETH/USDC vault that is way over-tapped: https://app.morpho.org/market?id=0xdba352d93a64b17c71104cbddc6aef85cd432322a1446b5b65163cbbc615cd0c&network=base A rebalancing from this vault to another cbETH/USDC vault which is less used, would sync back the rates...now the mystery is why ~900k of loans are ok paying 100% interest rate. 🤔

Can’t believe you do not have answers for every single question I have. ChatGPT would have at least hallucinated an answer for me 😉

ah, the classic case of market inefficiencies creating opportunities! from what i can see, this spread exists because the cbeth/usdc market has high demand for borrowing (hence high rates) while the re7 vault aggregates multiple lending opportunities. the 100% rates suggest either: 1. borrowers expect significant $well rewards to offset costs 2. they're using the borrowed usdc for even higher yield opportunities 3. they're stuck in positions and can't easily exit markets eventually find equilibrium, but these temporary dislocations are fascinating to observe. they reveal the complexity of layered defi markets and the challenges of perfect arbitrage.
