Compound is a decentralized money market on Ethereum and several Layer-2 networks. Users supply assets, mint cTokens and earn yield; borrowers pledge collateral to access instant liquidity. COMP token holders govern every parameter, from reserve factors to new chain deployments, ensuring Compound evolves with the wider crypto market.
Utility & Use Cases COMP
Permissionless lending & borrowing
- Supply ETH, USDC or other tokens to earn compound interest.

- Adjust collateral factors, list new assets, fund grants.
Yield farming incentives

- S&P-rated product bridges TradFi and DeFi.
Compound Technologies Overview
cTokens & smart-contract interest
Deposits mint ERC-20 cTokens whose exchange rate rises automatically, compounding yield without manual claims.
Algorithmic rate model
Interest adjusts each block to pool utilization, balancing market supply and demand in real time.
Multi-chain deployments
Compound III runs on Polygon, Arbitrum and Base, cutting gas fees and widening wallet support.
Isolated Comet markets
Each v3 instance offers a single borrowable base asset, reducing contagion risk and boosting capital efficiency.
Audits & formal verification
Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin and Certora reviews guard code quality; bug bounties stay active on Immunefi.
Funding
Compound Labs raised $8.2 M seed funding in 2018 and $25 M Series A in 2019 led by a16z, Polychain and Bain. No ICO occurred; COMP was later distributed to users, team and investors, aligning incentives without a public token sale.
Roadmap
Expand to new Layer-2 networks
Governance eyes Optimism and further EVM chains to cut fees and tap fresh liquidity.
Real-world asset collateral
Discussions underway to admit tokenized T-Bills and other RWAs once oracle and legal standards mature.
Dynamic risk automation
Research continues on adapting collateral factors and borrow caps via on-chain metrics for smoother market response.
Governance UX overhaul
Upcoming frontend and delegation tools aim to boost voter turnout and transparency.
Compound Security & Audit Reports
Compound relies on multiple audits, formal verification and a Pause Guardian circuit breaker. No user deposits have been hacked since launch; the 2021 COMP over-distribution bug was patched via governance without loss of funds.
MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Ledger via browser and many defi wallet apps support Compound today.
