Zion, hear me! For Season 2 of the Mere Morpheus podcast I'm going to be uploading the Morpheus maintainer weekly updates. My reason for doing this is to make it more accessible for those who want an update directly via their podcast app and to have them all in one place. Unfortunately Episodes #19-34 were not recorded and are lost to time. If you'd like to participate they are held weekly on the @MorpheusAIs Twitter spaces. So enjoy Episode #18!

Recorded: 13 March 2025

AI SUMMARY: In this episode, we dive into how the Builder Contract v2 remains in audit with positive feedback, so monthly manual distributions will continue on the 15th until final tweaks, testing and deploy. We’re also coding Capital Contract v2 to support USDC/USDT and Aave assets for broader yield options and contributor access. Compute Contract changes (MRC‑53) are in the proposal stage as we refine bootstrapping and modelling.

Morpheus is wrapping up IPFS/node stack testing, pivoting its Electron app into a full command-and-control dashboard, and adding a simplified API path while weighing decentralised context storage as longer-term R&D. Developer onramps include a rate-limited OpenAI-compatible API, a local Docker node, and the launch of the Decentralised AI Forge for no-code agent building. Community momentum is strong with subnet growth, meetups, and staking via Venice Pro, while the focus stays on shipping contracts, inference, agents, and developer UX despite market volatility.
