Morpho, a DeFi lending protocol, deleted a post from its official X account after it drew criticism over comments about the economics of its Curator business. According to The Defiant, the post said most Curator operations could not sustain themselves on Vault fees alone and that some revenue came from offchain revenue-sharing, custom packaging, or protocol subsidies. Aave founder Stani Kulechov said the message was "extremely bearish" for MORPHO holders. Morpho CEO Paul Frambot later said the post had been automatically published by a third-party AI marketing tool. He said the team removed the post, revoked the tool's account access, and is still investigating what happened. Frambot did not confirm whether the specific figures mentioned in the deleted post were accurate.
