The governance token of an overcollateralized crypto lending protocol.
Compound is tracked here because it has an established public market and recurring reader interest. Inclusion is not an endorsement. Bitcoin.now compares other networks on their own terms while keeping Bitcoin's monetary design, custody model, and proof-of-work security as the site's main subject.
There is no single official Compound price. The number above is the latest public observation from OKX. Another exchange can show a different last trade because its buyers, sellers, liquidity, and order book are different.
A displayed price is not the amount guaranteed for an order. Spread, fees, depth, slippage, payment method, and location can change the final value.
Five facts to check before treating a price as an understanding of the asset.
Compound uses a token deployed on a host chain and associated with a decentralized-finance protocol.
For COMP, supply and distribution follow token contracts plus governance-approved incentives or treasury decisions.
Token voters, delegates, administrators, multisignature signers, and application developers may each retain different powers.
The intended role includes protocol governance, incentives, and in some cases risk backstops or fee-related decisions.
Material risks include smart-contract exploits, oracle failures, administrator privileges, governance capture, bad debt, and dependence on the host network.
Who can change the software or token contract? Where can supply data be reproduced? Which keys, validators, administrators, bridges, or issuers must keep working? How much real liquidity exists near the displayed price? A useful asset review answers those questions with current primary documentation instead of relying on market capitalization or social attention.

Compound depends on a token deployed on a host chain and associated with a decentralized-finance protocol. The exact validator, miner, host-chain, or contract rules should be checked in the current project documentation.
