Morpho UI does not allow users to deposit the loan asset directly into markets. This is a convenience feature provided by Dynamo.
What is the market deposit fee?
When you deposit the Loan asset (e.g., USDC in a USDC/ETH market) into a Morpho market through the Dynamo interface, a small deposit fee may be applied. This is the only market-level fee Dynamo charges.The deposit fee applies only to Loan asset deposits made via the Dynamo UI. There are no other market-level fees, no borrowing fees, no withdrawal fees, and no fees for supplying collateral assets.
Current fee switch status
The fee switch for market deposits is controlled by Dynamo governance. Its current status (on or off) and the active fee percentage are determined by a governance vote and are visible on each market’s detail page in the app.| Status | Effect |
|---|---|
| Off | No deposit fee is charged. |
| On | A percentage is deducted from the deposit. |
Who does not receive fees?
- Morpho Protocol — Dynamo’s market-level deposit fee is separate from any Morpho-native reserve factor. Morpho’s own reserve factor/fee (if any) is applied at the Morpho contract level and is not collected by Dynamo.
- Market creators or third parties — The fee flows exclusively to the Dynamo Treasury.
