Compound is a decentralised algorithmic DeFi protocol based on the Ethereum ecosystem. This protocol provides access to the crypto-loan market, where the system sets interest rates.

The protocol was created by Compound Labs in San Francisco. The following venture giants invested in the startup: Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, Paradigm and Polychain Capital. The first version of Compound was released in September 2018.
