The idea: post $MOG, $PEPE, $IMF (more coming) as collateral and borrow. Keystone stablecoin: Sky Protocol’s $USDS. Stack: built on @MorphoLabs's Multi-Market Factory. Each token sits in an isolated Morpho Market, so if $PEPE nukes XX% overnight it can’t drag $MOG lenders with it. Borrow up to XX% LTV in $USDS; liquidations at XX% LLTV. Not bad for volatile stuff. One‑click goodies: ➢ Accelerate — loops collateral, XXX% long at ~33% start LTV. ➢ Amplify — routes single‑sided deposits into optimized Uniswap v3 LP with USDS for yield. ➢ Allocate — lets $IMF holders vote where USDS incentives flow next. Credit like this closes a structural gap for meme projects. Borrowing against conviction aligns incentives; lenders farm real yield; underlying tokens deepen liquidity. What’s interesting is the vector forward. If isolated Morpho vaults + overcollateralized USDS can keep a $PEPE market solvent, the template can extend to Zora Coins, niche NFTs, even exotic RWAs. IMF could be a proving ground for next‑gen permissionless credit engines. Bottom line: IMF won’t tame memecoin volatility, but it gives believers a new toolbox. If the meme economy is to mature, making conviction bankable collateral is a logical next step.
