What it means
The team that runs a lending vault: it picks which markets the vault lends to and sets its risk limits.
On Morpho, curators such as Steakhouse and Gauntlet publish their strategy, and depositors choose whose vault to trust.
How it works
A curator can't take your deposit, but its choices decide the vault's risk and rate.
