# MRC 16: Toward MOR Interoperability

***

## Status

**April 1, 2024: IMPLEMENTED**

***

## Introduction

To set the stage, MOR is currently instantiated as an ERC20 on Arbitrum. The coin exists, however is unmoveable/untradable until May 8th 2024.

## Goal

MOR to be omnichain to whatever degree it makes sense. At minimum, we want it to exist seamlessly on Arbitrum & ETH L1. Before May 8th 2024 to modify/upgrade/change the Smart Contract is easier. After that date it's obviously messier. Thus this topic should be considered / then implemented before May 8th 2024.

## Evaluation

Many of the open source Smart Contract developers have evaluated LayerZero's OFT paradigm for use in the Morpheus Smart Contracts. In particular, they liked:

* 1. the immutability/non-upgradability of the contracts, and
* 2. the gas abstraction for better UX.
* 3. The oracle function that can help denominate all yield contributions to Morpheus via ETH price.

While Morpheus is not exclusive to any chain or project, Layer Zero seems to be a good starting point to increase the Interoperability of the MOR token and broaden types of yield contribution.

## Implementation

To start sending tokens from arbitrum to other chains, developers need to do is:

* 1. Deploy the OFT Adapter contract which works like a lockbox on the source chain.
* 2. Deploy the OFT contract on each new chain which will become the canonical MOR tokens for those new chains.
