🔷 Why you should keep an eye on $COMP
📋 Achievements:
• Ethereum’s pioneering algorithmic lending protocol, which ushered in the DeFi era
• Compound V3: TVL of around $1.4 billion
• Innovative absorb mechanism instead of open liquidations
• The protocol absorbs underwater positions itself, without forced liquidations
• August 2026: record budget of $52 million approved
• Focus on real-world assets, partner integrations, and institutional investors
• Algorithmic interest rates based on supply and demand
🧠 Compound is the protocol that ushered in the DeFi lending era: it introduced algorithmic rates and composable liquidity pools. V3, with its absorb mechanism, is a mature evolution: the protocol absorbs bad positions itself, reducing the risk of cascading liquidations. The record $52 million budget and focus on RWA signal a shift toward institutional investors. However, Compound has lost the lead to Aave, and V3 has a lower TVL than V2.
⚠️ Risks: losing ground to Aave; reliance on institutional demand; smart contract risks; DeFi market volatility; regulatory risks related to RWA.
❓ Can Compound regain the lead from $AAVE ? 👇
