"Gauntlet has decided it could better pursue its mission of making DeFi safer and more efficient by joining forces with Morpho, which endorses a layered risk management approach rather than the traditional monolithic approach," Gauntlet said in a statement shared with CoinDesk.
Gauntlet was initially contracted to help Aave manage risk beginning in 2021, but Gauntlet co-founder John Morrow, made the surprise announcement last week that his team was splitting up with Aave because they "found it difficult to navigate the inconsistent guidelines and unwritten objectives" of the lender's "largest stakeholders."
From a risk management perspective, the Morpho model is designed to be more efficient than Aave's, and Gauntlet's embrace of Morpho could be viewed as a swipe at its old partner. But Gauntlet's rationale for switching allegiances may be clearest when viewed in strict business terms, since it offers the risk manager the potential to earn more money, with greater flexibility.
Aave's lending pools are managed by the Aave DAO, a collective of holders of the AAVE token, which confers governance rights over the protocol. The DAO regularly votes on changes to risk parameters, and it pays "risk stewards" (like Gauntlet, until last week) to perform analyses and weigh in on key decisions.
Aave's risk stewards are given limited emergency controls to help safeguard the protocol, but parameter changes are generally left up to community votes, which can be an arduous process given the hundreds of risk parameters that Aave must oversee on a day-to-day basis.
On Aave, risk managers "answer to the DAO," Gauntlet's vice president of growth Nick Cannon told CoinDesk this week. "Morpho," on the other hand, "makes Gauntlet and other risk curators closer to a first-class person."
Aave DAO paid Gauntlet $1.6 million per year to serve as an official risk steward. That sum was reduced from $2 million to bring Gauntlet's compensation in line with that of rival risk manager Chaos Labs, which joined Aave as its second risk steward in 2022.
"If you want to pay for exclusivity, there's plenty of models to do that," said Cannon. "I'm happy to find a number there, but it's definitely tough when we have a direct competitor that's eating our market share."
Chaos Labs CEO Omer Goldberg denied that Aave DAO gave his firm special treatment. According to Goldberg, Chaos has a different business model from that of Gauntlet: Chaos offers an automated risk management platform on top of its traditional "white glove" risk management service. The white glove service is reserved for Aave, whereas anyone can use its risk platform.
"Aave's never thrilled that we're working with other borrow/lends, but it's not really been an issue," Goldberg told CoinDesk. "We have a platform so we're able to do these things, we're able to scale very quickly."

Typically, lending protocols hire firms like Gauntlet to help advise and manage risks. MorphoBlue, however, will effectively g
