Compound (COMP) is a Decentralized Financial (DeFi) protocol where users can lend and borrow cryptocurrencies without intermediaries like a traditional financial institution (such as a bank). The Compound platform is built on the Ethereum blockchain and utilizes smart contracts to automate the lending and borrowing processes between users. COMP is the governance token of the protocol, which means that holders can propose and vote on changes to the system. This allows COMP holders to actively contribute to the community and the protocol.

The Compound platform operates through a complex algorithm that allows users to deposit their crypto into liquidity pools. Liquidity pools are groups of coins from various investors that enable trading without a third party on DeFi applications. In return, users receive cTokens (such as cETH or cDAI), which represent their share in the pool. Interest is generated based on the share, and the earned interest is automatically reinvested, allowing returns to grow over time. The protocol determines interest rates based on supply and demand: when demand is high, interest rates increase, and when demand is low, interest rates decrease.

In addition to earning interest, users can also borrow cryptocurrencies by providing collateral. The maximum borrowing amount depends on the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. The more a user deposits, the more they can borrow. However, if the value of the collateral drops too much, the protocol can automatically liquidate loans to maintain system solvency.

The Compound protocol operates entirely on-chain and without intermediaries. Users are not dependent on a central entity to process transactions, making the system more transparent and secure.

Compound was founded in 2017 by Robert Leshner, a former financial analyst, and Geoffrey Hayes, an experienced software developer. Together, they aimed to replace traditional lending and savings products with a Decentralized Financial (DeFi) protocol by leveraging blockchain technology. Compound is one of the first projects to successfully implement the concept of decentralized lending and borrowing services.

Compound Labs Inc. is the company behind the cryptocurrency. Since its inception, the company has attracted major investors in various funding rounds, including Andreessen Horowitz, Polychain Capital, and Bain Capital Ventures. In 2020, COMP was launched, marking the full decentralization of the protocol, as decision-making is now in the hands of the community instead of the company.
