What is Compound? ($COMP)
Compound is a decentralized software which runs on the Ethereum mainnet. The DeFi project was developed with the intent to enable peer-2-peer borrowing and lending in the decentralized finance frontier.
Users of the Compound network are able to deposit cryptocurrencies to the Compound DeFi ecosystem, which then gets locked into the network in order to create liquidity. This is then made available to borrowers looking for cryptocurrency loans through the Compound platform. Compound somewhat removes the middle man typically found in the traditional consumer finance model.
