Crypto lending firm Compound brings its borrowing and lending protocol to Base
Compound, a leading crypto lending firm, has announced the launch of its borrowing and lending protocol on Base, a Layer 2 solution developed by Coinbase. This expansion allows Compound to explore other interoperability segments and enhance its base protocol. Currently, Compound has a USDC bridge and an ETH market on Base. Additionally, the protocol has also launched Arbitrum’s native USDC market on the Compound app, enabling users to transfer USDC across different chains without the need for an Ethereum bridge.
Core changes explained in Compound’s blog post
In a recent blog post, Compound outlines the core changes that come with the launch on Base. Users can now use ETH and cbETH as collateral to borrow bridged USDC or cbETH to borrow ETH in each respective market.
Compound’s unique features and benefits
Compound Labs, the firm behind the DeFi protocol, has been a consistent leader in the borrowing and lending space since 2018. It offers services to both individual and institutional clients and has integrated with the latest frameworks in DeFi. One standout feature of Compound is the ability to earn interest from its native token COMP. Another advantage is that there are no minimum deposits required, and the potential for high compound interests is significant. Getting started is easy, as there are no KYC or AML procedures to worry about, and the platform operates under tight regulatory frameworks with full auditing.
Hot Take: Compound’s protocol offers lucrative opportunities, but requires a learning curve
While Compound’s protocol provides an efficient way to maximize yields, it does come with a steep learning curve. Users need to familiarize themselves with the lending and borrowing process, as well as the use of COMP within the ecosystem. However, the potential rewards make it worth the effort.
