About Compound

COMP is the native token of Compound, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that allows users to lend and borrow cryptocurrencies without intermediaries. The platform uses smart contracts to automate interest rates based on supply and demand, making it a cornerstone of the DeFi ecosystem. COMP token holders can participate in governance decisions, voting on proposals that shape the protocol's future. This gives the community direct control over upgrades and changes, aligning incentives between users and developers. For lenders, Compound offers a way to earn passive income on idle assets, while borrowers can access liquidity without selling their holdings. The protocol's transparent and permissionless design has made it one of the most trusted platforms in decentralized finance, appealing to both beginners and experienced users.

DeFi Platform Elixir Halts Support for deUSD After Stream Finance’s $93M Loss
Decentralized finance liquidity provider Elixir has suspended support for its synthetic stablecoin deUSD following the fallout from Stream Finance’s $93 million loss earlier this week. Key Takeaways: Elixir halted support for its deUSD stablecoin following Stream Finance’s $93 million loss, which caused deUSD to crash to $0.015. Stream’s leveraged exposure, with $68 million owed to Elixir, triggered the 90% plunge of its own XUSD stablecoin. Balancer suffered a $128 million exploit but managed to recover $19 million. Elixir announced on X that it has already processed redemptions for 80% of all deUSD holders, which led the token to depeg to around $0.015, according to CoinGecko data. The move comes after Stream Finance froze withdrawals on Tuesday, revealing a major hit to its balance sheet and $285 million in debt, including $68 million owed to Elixir. Stream’s XUSD Crashes 90% as deUSD Exposure Triggers Stablecoin Contagion Stream had borrowed deUSD to back its own Staked Stream USD (XUSD) stablecoin, which plunged to $0.10 following the disclosure. Elixir’s deUSD, launched in July 2024, was seen as a challenger to Ethena’s USDe, with a market cap of about $150 million before the crash. Elixir said Stream holds around 90% of deUSD’s remaining supply, worth roughly $75 million, but has refused to repay or close its positions. The company is now coordinating with other DeFi protocols like Euler, Morpho, and Compound to fully compensate affected holders. “We still believe this will be honored 1 for 1,” Elixir stated, adding that it disabled withdrawals to prevent Stream from liquidating deUSD before settling its debt. Elixir has worked tirelessly over the previous 48 hours and has successfully processed redemptions of 80% of all deUSD holders thus far (not including Stream). As it stands now, Stream holds roughly 90% of the deUSD supply (~$75m), while Elixir holds a similar proportion of its…— Elixir (@elixir) November 6, 2025 Notably, on-chain analysts described the drop in XUSD as a crisis of confidence rather than a technical failure, noting that most of the trading originated from Arbitrum and that no smart contract exploit had been identified. Social media discussions intensified concerns about the project’s reserves, with some users alleging a $170 million asset base against $530 million in loans, suggesting heavy leverage. Stream, founded in early 2024, grew rapidly on a promise of capital-efficient DeFi strategies that blended traditional market tactics like hedged market making and yield farming. However, its dependence on external fund managers, meant to handle overflow beyond internal capacity, has now become the focus of scrutiny, raising questions about transparency and counterparty risk in its model. Balancer Suffers $128M Exploit, Recovers $19M Amid On-Chain Chase As reported, DeFi protocol Balancer suffered a massive breach on Monday targeting its V2 Composable Stable Pools, with estimated losses exceeding $128 million across multiple chains, according to PeckShieldAlert. The attacker exploited authorization and callback flaws to drain funds from interconnected pools in a matter of minutes. Analysts at Nansen and Cyvers Alerts tracked suspicious transfers of WETH, osETH, and wstETH, later identifying laundering activity through Tornado Cash. In a rare positive twist, on-chain analyst EmberCN reported that StakeWise successfully recovered 5,041 osETH (worth $19.3 million) via a contract call, reducing total stolen assets to around $98 million. Over half of the stolen funds have since been swapped to Ethereum, intensifying efforts to trace them. Balancer confirmed the issue was limited to V2 pools, assuring users that V3 and other pools remain unaffected. Meanwhile, one dormant whale withdrew $6.5 million following the hack, underscoring shaken investor confidence.

A hacking incident - @Balancer was hacked, exposing a series of massive exposures in the #defi protocol. The $deUSD stablecoin issued by @elixir began to experience severe de-pegging last night, currently decoupled to $0.06, with its total market cap dropping from tens of millions to millions of dollars. 💬 In response, Aave founder criticized Gauntlet for pausing withdrawals from the established DeFi protocol Compound: assets like $deUSD should not be included in the main market. Aave @aave founder and CEO Stani.eth @StaniKulechov stated on the X platform that the risk control team Gauntlet @gauntlet_xyz has paused Compound withdrawals; due to the de-pegging of $deUSD, users cannot withdraw funds when there is a risk of bad debts, resulting in a "locked" state. Gauntlet CBO Nick Cannon responded in the comments saying, "The pause is proactive, just like we did for Aave a few years ago, and it reduced the risks highlighted in the screenshot," while Stani.eth commented, "This asset should not be included in the main market."

Gauntlet has paused withdrawals on Compound, and the deUSD depeg now means users can’t withdraw their capital in case of bad debt exposure. This is what they call "locked in".

Dive deeper into Compound

Compound (COMP) is a cryptocurrency that plays a significant role in shaping the future of borrowing and lending protocols within the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry.

What is Compound

Compound is a prominent DeFi protocol that utilizes its native token, COMP, as an integral part of its platform. COMP enables users to access and utilize the services offered by Compound seamlessly. One of the critical features of COMP is its governance functionality, which empowers token holders to participate in the decision-making process actively. By holding COMP tokens, users have the authority to propose and vote on modifications and improvements to the protocol, allowing them to shape its future development.

The Compound team

The Compound team comprises blockchain programmers and entrepreneurs driven by a shared vision of establishing an efficient and accessible financial system. Robert Leshner leads the team, bringing expertise in economics and finance to the table. The team has achieved remarkable milestones, securing more than $8 million in funding from prominent stakeholders. Currently, the Compound protocol manages assets valued at over $1 billion, showcasing the team's success in building a robust and trusted platform.

How does Compound work?

Compound operates as a DeFi protocol that facilitates the lending and borrowing of cryptocurrencies. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, users can engage in these activities transparently and securely. 

The platform's native token, COMP, serves dual purposes: governance and incentives. COMP holders have the power to propose and vote on changes to the protocol, shaping its future. Additionally, COMP is a reward mechanism, encouraging users to supply assets or borrow against collateral. This incentivizes participation and contributes to the platform's overall functionality.

Compound’s native token: COMP

Compound's native token, COMP, plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by serving multiple functions. With a maximum supply of 10 million, COMP operates on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token. It is used for governance and liquidity mining rewards within the Compound platform.

COMP token holders can propose and vote on modifications to the protocol, actively participating in the decentralized governance of the platform. This empowers the community to shape the future direction of Compound.

Additionally, COMP tokens are utilized as incentives for users who engage in the liquidity mining program of the DeFi protocol. By providing liquidity to the platform, users can earn COMP tokens as rewards, further enhancing participation and liquidity within the ecosystem.

How to stake COMP

To stake COMP tokens and maximize rewards, COMP holders should purchase COMP from reputable cryptocurrency exchanges like OKX. If an account still needs to be established, registration should be completed, along with the setup of an ERC-20 wallet. 

Once these steps are taken, the COMP tokens can be sent to the chosen staking platform, such as OKX Earn, which offers a flexible staking setup. The next step involves confirming the desired amount of COMP to stake and selecting the Subscribe button to initiate the staking process.

COMP use cases

The COMP token has multiple use cases within the Compound ecosystem and the broader DeFi sector. COMP holders can participate in the Compound protocol's governance by suggesting proposals and voting on important decisions. Additionally, they can earn rewards by participating in DeFi programs or staking their COMP tokens.

Distribution of COMP

The distribution of COMP tokens is as follows:

  • 50 percent of the tokens are allocated to Compound's liquidity mining program.
  • 25 percent is reserved for the Compound team and advisors.
  • The remaining 25 percent is set aside for future needs within the Compound ecosystem.

What does the future hold for Compound

The future of Compound holds plans for platform expansion, encompassing stablecoins, fiat currencies, and additional cryptocurrencies. Geographically, Compound aims to extend its presence to promising regions like Asia and Latin America. Furthermore, the team intends to introduce new DeFi products and services, including derivatives and financial markets, and forge partnerships with other DeFi protocols.
