What is Compound (COMP)?

Compound is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that allows users to earn interest on their cryptocurrency holdings and borrow assets without the need for a central authority. Launched in 2018 by Geoffrey Hayes and Robert Leshner, the protocol is built on the Ethereum blockchain and has quickly become one of the most popular DeFi platforms. At the moment, the total value locked of Compound is close to $1.6 billion, and the highest TVL at one time was close to $10 billion.

How Compound (COMP) Works

Compound allows users to lend and borrow cryptocurrency without intermediaries, enabling greater efficiency and flexibility than traditional financial systems. Users can earn interest by supplying digital assets to the platform, and can also borrow assets by depositing collateral in the form of other cryptocurrencies. Interest rates are determined by supply and demand, with rates varying depending on the asset being lent or borrowed.

One of the unique features of Compound is the use of algorithmic interest rates, which adjust in real-time based on market conditions. This allows the platform to maintain a balance between supply and demand, ensuring that interest rates remain stable and liquidity is maintained.

COMP is the native token of the Compound protocol, and is used for governance and to incentivize users to contribute to the platform. Users who supply or borrow assets on Compound are rewarded with COMP tokens, which can be used to vote on proposals for changes to the protocol. This ensures that the community has a say in the development of the platform and helps to maintain its decentralization.

How Many Compound (COMP) Tokens Are in Circulation?

There is a total supply of 10 million COMP tokens, with around 7.3 million currently in circulation.
