We’re a team of quantum punks exploring the wild frontier of quantum cryptography. We believe that quantum technology can be deployed for the common good in the very near future, well before fault-tolerant universal quantum computing becomes available at scale. To this end, we are building novel cryptographic applications for both traditional and decentralized finance, uniquely secured by physics.

Noble is a blockchain platform specializing in the issuance of digital assets within the Cosmos ecosystem and beyond. It serves as a dedicated appchain designed to facilitate the seamless integration and distribution of assets, particularly stablecoins, across various interconnected blockchains using the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. One of Noble's notable contributions is the introduction of USDN (Noble Dollar), a yield-bearing stablecoin. USDN is overcollateralized with U.S. Treasury bills and offers a current yield of 4.15%. This design allows decentralized applications (dApps) and rollups to programmatically distribute the underlying yield to users, enhancing the utility and attractiveness of holding USDN. In addition to USDN, Noble has collaborated with Circle to bring native USDC issuance to the Cosmos ecosystem. This integration enables businesses and developers to access USDC directly on Noble, benefiting from its interoperability across IBC-enabled blockchains.

Morpho is a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending platform that optimizes lending and borrowing on existing protocols like Aave and Compound. It enhances efficiency by implementing a peer-to-peer matching mechanism, which improves interest rates for both lenders and borrowers compared to traditional liquidity pool models. - Optimized Rates: Morpho matches users directly when possible, providing better rates than standard lending pools. - Hybrid Model: It combines P2P lending with pool-based lending, ensuring liquidity even when direct matching isn't available. - Non-Custodial & Permissionless: Users retain full control over their funds, with smart contracts handling transactions securely. - Gas Efficiency: It reduces transaction costs compared to interacting directly with Aave or Compound. By improving capital efficiency and reducing inefficiencies in traditional lending pools, Morpho offers a more profitable and decentralized alternative for both borrowers and lenders in DeFi.
