Compound
What this is
Compound is a decentralized lending and borrowing protocol built on Ethereum and deployed across several other blockchains, including those in the BNB Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Near Protocol, and Harmony ecosystems. COMP is its governance token, giving holders the ability to propose and vote on changes to how the protocol operates. It is designed for anyone who wants to earn interest by supplying crypto assets or borrow against collateral without relying on a traditional financial intermediary.
Compound pools supplied assets into smart contracts, from which borrowers can draw funds by posting collateral; interest rates adjust algorithmically based on supply and demand within each asset pool. COMP does not directly represent a claim on fees or revenue; instead it carries voting weight, and any address that has been delegated at least 1% of the total COMP supply can submit a governance proposal to change protocol parameters such as collateral factors or interest rate models. The token exists across multiple chains but its governance role is rooted in the Compound Finance smart contract system.
The stored data for Compound does not include a fee revenue figure, so fee-based valuation measures are not available on this page. Compound's protocol does earn interest rate spreads between lenders and borrowers, but that data is not present here. The circulating supply is 10,000,000 COMP, which equals the maximum supply, meaning supply_issued_pct and supply_vs_max_pct both stand at 100% and dilution overhang is 0%, so no additional COMP can be minted to dilute existing holders.
