What is Compound?
Compound is a leading algorithmic, autonomous interest rate protocol designed for developers to create a broad range of open financial applications. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, Compound connects lenders and borrowers through decentralized lending pools where interest rates are dynamically adjusted based on real-time market demand.
Core features and structure
- Lenders deposit cryptocurrency assets into Compound’s liquidity pools and earn interest. The assets deposited into these pools generate cTokens (e.g., cETH or cDAI), which accumulate interest over time.
- Borrowers provide crypto collateral to take out loans in other supported assets. Interest rates on these loans are automatically adjusted by Compound’s algorithm, which balances supply and demand in real time.

FAQ
What is liquidity aggregation?
Liquidity aggregation combines liquidity from multiple sources to give users access to the best rates and minimal slippage during token swaps – all within a single place. By tapping into liquidity across the entire market, 1inch simplifies the swapping process, saving users time and effort. This efficient, decentralized approach enhances the swapping experience in a self-custodial environment.
Why is DEX aggregation important?
DEX aggregation is crucial because it enables users to access competitive prices and optimal liquidity across multiple decentralized exchanges through a single interface. Since different DEXes may offer varying prices for the same asset, DEX aggregation eliminates the need for manual comparison, ensuring users get the best possible rates. Additionally, swaps can be split across different protocols and market depths, optimizing both swap prices and gas usage. With 1inch, users enjoy a seamless experience that consistently delivers top-tier rates and efficiency.
