Description

Compound is a DeFi lending and borrowing protocol that allows users to deposit crypto assets to earn market-driven yield with instant withdrawals, and to borrow against curated collateral assets at competitive rates with instant liquidity. Loans are backed by excess collateral to reduce lending risk. The protocol has facilitated over $480B in total deposits and loans and $57B in all-time loans over more than six years of operation. Security is a core focus, with independent audits, comprehensive testing, continuous security reviews, and a bug bounty program backed by Immunefi offering rewards up to $1M. The Compound Foundation supports the long-term growth of the ecosystem through strategic planning, ecosystem development, partnerships, governance coordination, and community engagement, alongside teams focused on risk & capital management, engineering, and protocol security.
