# Monarch

## **Monarch: Direct Market Access**

Monarch is a user interface for direct interaction with Morpho Blue markets. It gives users complete control over their lending positions without intermediaries like vaults or risk curators.

### Market Discovery

By default, Monarch filters markets to show only quality options:

* Hides small markets with low liquidity
* Hides markets with unrecognized oracles or assets
* Shows only markets whitelisted by Morpho's official API

**Full Permissionless Access** In keeping with Morpho's permissionless spirit, Monarch won't block you from accessing any market. You can disable filters to view and interact with all markets at your own risk.

### Core Features

**Market Analysis**

* Detailed risk metrics and oracle breakdown

**Position Management**

* Direct market access without intermediaries
* Batch execution for efficient rebalancing

#### **Risk Management**

Direct market access requires active risk management. Monarch provides analysis tools, but you make all decisions. You need to understand:

* Collateral quality evaluation
* Market parameters (LLTV, oracles)
* When to rebalance positions

In the following section, we'll introduce Monarch AutoVaults—an automated solution that maintains this direct access philosophy while handling position management for you.
