How to Leverage Curve LPs in the crvUSD MetaMorpho Vault
Links
The crvUSD MetaMorpho vault has some unique features that may not be immediately intuitive for new users, so this guide should serve as a basic introduction to leveraging Curve TriCrypto LPs from the vault markets. This step-by-step guide will cover each collateral type comprising the vault markets. The steps described below will involve acquiring the LP collateral token, leveraging on Morpho, monitoring position health, and claiming rewards.

An overview of the vault markets is available on the crvUSD vault page on the Morpho UI. From there, additional analytics related to the vault are available along with analytics related to specific markets.

TricryptoLLAMA Market
Acquire TricryptoLLAMA Curve LP
TricryptoLLAMA is a Curve Tricrypto LP composed of crvUSD, tBTC, and wstETH. Users can acquire the LP by visiting the Curve pool page below and depositing any or all of the constituent tokens. Supply tokens in balanced proportion to minimize slippage upon deposit. The LP will accrue value from swap fees as traders swap the underlying tokens in the pool. Note that this pool uses the CryptoSwap algorithm, which concentrates liquidity around an internal pool oracle price. Since the pool consists of non-correlated assets, the relative balance of underlying tokens may change over time as asset prices change.
Note that you should hold the unstaked TricryptoLLAMA LP token. If you already have exposure to the LP and have staked it to the Curve gauge or deposited it to one of the reward boosting services (e.g. Convex, StakeDAO), you need to unstake the LP.

Final Notes
Borrow positions on Morpho can be closed at any time from the Morpho Borrow page by repaying the crvUSD debt and withdrawing collateral. You should be prompted with a tx to claim your Convex rewards before withdrawing collateral. If you are not, claim from Convex before completing the withdrawal. This is important to successfully checkpoint your claimable rewards.
All crvUSD vault markets have an 86% liquidation LTV. If your collateral value falls, causing your LTV to rise above 86%, your position will be eligible for liquidation. Most Tricrypto LPs have a stablecoin component, helping to reduce volatility, however it remains important to monitor the oracle price and your position health, which can be done from the Dune dashboard we provide.
The Morpho interest rate model favors borrowers with a time-based component that gradually modifies the interest rate based on market utilization levels. For instance, at 100% utilization, the borrow rate is 4x the rate at the target (90% utilization). As the borrow rate at the target is currently very low (0.1%), borrowers have strong assurances of prolonged low rates. See our post on the MetaMorpho IRM for more details on the IRM behavior. This condition is exacerbated by the yieldbearing property of the Convex-wrapped collateral types and by opportunities to search yields on crvUSD on several platforms, including Curve Lend and Sturdy Finance.
Given that the additional complexity of leveraging LP tokens and features such as auto wrapping on Convex may not be immediately intuitive to users, we hope this explainer serves to clarify the ease with which one can interact with the crvUSD vault.

Claim rewards on Convex
A unique feature of the Morpho crvUSD markets is that your collateral is automatically deposited into Convex under the hood. This allows your collateral to earn CRV and CVX rewards in addition to usual swap fees while you leverage your LP position. Visit the Convex UI to claim rewards. Rewards do not expire and can be claimed at any time. Note that the Morpho claim menu is only available when your connected address has claimable rewards from Morpho.

Final Notes
Borrow positions on Morpho can be closed at any time from the Morpho Borrow page by repaying the crvUSD debt and withdrawing collateral. You should be prompted with a tx to claim your Convex rewards before withdrawing collateral. If you are not, claim from Convex before completing the withdrawal. This is important to successfully checkpoint your claimable rewards.
All crvUSD vault markets have an 86% liquidation LTV. If your collateral value falls, causing your LTV to rise above 86%, your position will be eligible for liquidation. Most Tricrypto LPs have a stablecoin component, helping to reduce volatility, however it remains important to monitor the oracle price and your position health, which can be done from the Dune dashboard we provide.
The Morpho interest rate model favors borrowers with a time-based component that gradually modifies the interest rate based on market utilization levels. For instance, at 100% utilization, the borrow rate is 4x the rate at the target (90% utilization). As the borrow rate at the target is currently very low (0.1%), borrowers have strong assurances of prolonged low rates. See our post on the MetaMorpho IRM for more details on the IRM behavior. This condition is exacerbated by the yieldbearing property of the Convex-wrapped collateral types and by opportunities to search yields on crvUSD on several platforms, including Curve Lend and Sturdy Finance.
Given that the additional complexity of leveraging LP tokens and features such as auto wrapping on Convex may not be immediately intuitive to users, we hope this explainer serves to clarify the ease with which one can interact with the crvUSD vault.
