> "We're unflat, two founders in Milan building a stablecoin savings app for European savers on Morpho. AMA

Hi r/defi. We're unflat, a two person team out of Milan. We're building a savings app for European users on top of Morpho. What it is: you deposit USDC, funds go into overcollateralized lending vaults on Morpho, interest accrues every second, non custodial, no lockup, withdraw anytime. Net APY has been in the 5 to 7% range depending on the market. The uncomfortable part: our users think in euro, but EURC vault liquidity is still too thin to route real deposit flow into. So today deposits are USDC and a European saver is carrying EUR/USD exposure whether they think about it or not. We'd rather say that out loud than bury it in a FAQ. EURC goes in when the vaults can take real size."
