What is cryptocurrency?

Compound es un protocolo financiero descentralizado basado en Ethereum que permite prestar, tomar prestado y hacer farming con criptomonedas.


Cuando los usuarios hacen un depósito de un token concreto en el pool de Compound, reciben a cambio una cantidad equivalente en cTokens. El valor de estos cTokens aumenta con el tiempo mediante el ajuste de los tipos de cambio, y se pueden canjear por el token subyacente a los tipos del mercado. Los contratos inteligentes calculan algorítmicamente los tipos de interés del pool de cToken con los que los depositantes y prestatarios pueden realizar transacciones.


En el caso de los préstamos, el pool está sobrecolateralizado, por lo que los prestatarios deben aportar un colateral superior a la que necesitan para el préstamo.


El token nativo de la plataforma, COMP, incentiva la participación en el protocolo Compound a través de recompensas de tokens y la gobernanza. Los titulares de tokens COMP pueden proponer y votar cambios en el protocolo, como la incorporación de otros pools de criptomonedas, el ajuste del colateral o la distribución de tokens.
