Compound
Compound is an algorithmic, decentralized money market protocol where users can supply assets to earn interest or borrow against them. Interest rates automatically adjust based on real-time market conditions. Users also earn COMP tokens as incentives for participating in the protocol. It is permissionless, fully on-chain, and focused on providing transparent lending markets.
