About Compound

The governance token of an overcollateralized crypto lending protocol.

Compound is tracked as the governance token of an overcollateralized crypto lending protocol.

Compound appears in this directory for research, not as an endorsement. Its defi governance design should be judged through the documented network, supply, control, and failure model rather than through the COMP unit price alone.

How to read the COMP price

The displayed COMP reference is the latest available observation from OKX for COMP/USDT. It belongs to that venue, quote asset, and timestamp; Compound has no single official global price.

An executable COMP order can differ after spread, depth, slippage, fees, payment method, and location. This page therefore labels the USDT quote instead of presenting the stablecoin market as cash USD.
