What is Compound and How Does It Work?
Compound is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol launched in 2018 by Robert Leshner and Geoff Hayes. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, Compound creates money markets where users can lend and borrow cryptocurrencies without traditional intermediaries. The protocol automatically adjusts interest rates based on supply and demand, allowing cryptocurrency holders to earn interest on their digital assets.
COMP is the governance token that powers the Compound ecosystem, enabling holders to vote on protocol upgrades and parameter changes. The protocol operates through smart contracts that pool user funds and algorithmically set interest rates. Borrowers provide collateral to access loans, while lenders earn interest on their supplied assets, creating a decentralized alternative to traditional banking services.

- Multi-asset support – Supports lending and borrowing of various cryptocurrencies
- Decentralized operation – No central authority controls the protocol
