About Compound
Compound is a decentralized lending protocol on Ethereum. Users can supply assets like ETH or USDC to earn interest, or borrow assets by providing other tokens as collateral. Its core innovation is the cToken model, where deposits are represented as interest-bearing tokens, and algorithmic interest rates adjust based on market supply and demand.
As a pioneer of DeFi lending, Compound established the liquidity mining model in 2020, distributing COMP governance tokens to users, which sparked the 'DeFi Summer'. Its competitive edge lies in being a battle-tested, fully on-chain protocol with a long track record, and its governance mechanism allows COMP holders to decide key parameters.
The problem Compound solves is the inefficiency of traditional lending, which relies on intermediaries, credit checks, and slow settlement. DeFi lending offers permissionless access, transparent rules, and composability with other protocols. However, users face risks like smart contract vulnerabilities and liquidation during market volatility.
In the past six months (2026-03 to 2026-09), Compound has undergone a major strategic shift. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) has declined significantly from a peak of around $12 billion in 2021 to approximately $1.2 billion, while competitor Aave holds about $14.8 billion. In August 2026, the DAO approved a $52 million development plan and new leadership to pivot toward institutional credit on-chain, focusing on compliance infrastructure like whitelists and legal frameworks. This marks a departure from its retail-focused origins. A notable negative event occurred in September 2025, when a proposal to recall 300,000 COMP tokens from a special representative was voted down by 70% of participants, highlighting governance gridlock.
Compound (decentralized lending platform) has the following events with long-term significance in its main development history:
rsETH Security Incident and Response: Compound encountered a security incident related to rsETH, and the attacker's positions were eventually all closed. Compound proposed participating in the rsETH recovery effort, offering to contribute up to 3,000 ETH, demonstrating the protocol's response capability in crisis.
Suspension of Stablecoin Lending Markets in Response to Liquidity Crisis: To address the Elixir liquidity crisis, Compound suspended multiple stablecoin lending markets on Ethereum. The Aave founder criticized this move, arguing that assets like deUSD should not be included in the main market, exposing controversies in cross-protocol risk management and asset screening.
Founder Abandoning Control of LQR: The Compound founder gave up control of LQR and criticized the lack of transparency in traditional equity structures. This leadership change has implications for the protocol's governance and long-term strategy.

Compound has seen significant team changes recently. In May 2026, Juan Esquivel joined as Socials and Community Lead, focusing on brand and community growth. In July 2026, Leo Eikelman became CTO; he previously served as Senior Engineering Manager at Coinbase and brings deep experience in financial systems. According to related sources, the Compound Foundation also appointed Aaron Schnarch as Executive Director, Christopher Donovan as COO, and Steven Liu as CPO. The DAO approved a $52M development fund to support V4 and institutional credit initiatives, aiming to strengthen Compound's position in the DeFi lending market.
