Morpheus Monthly Digest #10

January 2025 Month-End Edition.

Feb 06, 2025

The year has started at a phenomenal pace, packed with major breakthroughs and milestones in the Morpheus ecosystem. So much has happened that fitting everything into a single digest is impossible! Instead, we’ll focus on the five most significant developments shaping the future of decentralized AI.

1️⃣ Morpheus 2025 ERAs Roadmap is Live!

Morpheus is building a World Wide Web for DeAI, connecting AI Agents with decentralized compute, capital, and code. In 2025, the focus is on expanding AI Agent adoption, improving Agent discovery, and optimizing AI Compute routing.

🛠 Key Goals for 2025:

Fair Agent Launch Pad – Secure AI funding using the MOR20 model.
Agent Discovery & Routing – A search engine for AI Agents.
AI Compute Aggregation – Route AI workloads to the best GPUs.
Long-Term Builder Incentives – Continuous MOR rewards for AI builders.

The Morpheus Cycle Bringing Together DeAI

📆 The 2025 Roadmap: From Metropolis to Zion

Metropolis Era (2025): Rewards AI Builders, completing the Morpheus ecosystem flywheel.
Serenity Era (Future): Expands Morpheus across multiple chains via LayerZero, Wormhole, and Wire.Network.
Zion Era (Final Vision): Automates AI Agent interactions, enabling Smart Agents to operate autonomously.

Morpheus continues to build the infrastructure that makes decentralized AI more accessible and efficient.

2️⃣ Builder Rewards Launch: The Metropolis ERA Begins

Morpheus has launched Agent Builder Subnets, enabling AI builders to earn MOR emissions by creating and releasing open-source AI Agents.

🌍 Key Highlights:

Live on Arbitrum & Base mainnets
MOR emissions started accrue Jan 15
Builder Dashboard Phase 1A live, Phase 1B coming in February
24% of MOR emissions allocated to builders

❓How It Works

Morpheus token holders can stake MOR to builders, supporting projects and receiving rewards like PRO accounts, API access, and exclusive features. Builders offering greater value attract more staking and emissions.

📈Fair & Sustainable Emissions

Power Factor Multiplier rewards long-term builders.
38 DeAI projects pre-registered on Builder Dashboard.
Emissions scale based on MOR staked (e.g., 1% staked = 1% of daily emissions).

Agent Builder Subnets mark a major step in Morpheus’ mission to support AI builders and drive decentralized AI forward.

3️⃣ Venice VVV Token Airdrop

Venice AI, a private, censorship-free AI inference network, has launched the VVV token, enabling zero-marginal-cost AI inference for stakers. As one of Venice’s earliest adopters, the Morpheus community played a key role in its growth.

💡What is VVV?

VVV is a staking-based access token designed primarily for AI Agents to reduce economic friction when using AI inference. Instead of paying per request, staking VVV grants access to a pro-rata share of Venice’s total inference capacity.

💰 Stake VVV → Get free AI inference (text, image, code) → Earn staking rewards
