Compound Lending Risk Guide

How to review Compound lending risk before supplying collateral or borrowing.

Compound reviews should show supplied collateral, base asset, collateral factor, borrow capacity, liquidation rules, rate changes, governance settings, and final repay or withdrawal evidence.

Fast answer

Compound lending checks need collateral factor, borrow capacity, base asset, liquidation factor, rate, governance setting, and close records.

Before using Compound, record market, supplied asset, base asset, borrow amount, collateral factor, liquidation collateral factor, interest rate, oracle, governance setting, and repayment or withdrawal route.

Reader rule

No guaranteed yield exists; staking, lending, liquidity provision, and reward programs all need lockup, smart-contract, market, liquidity, tax, and withdrawal-risk checks.

What to inspect in Compound records.

Collateral factor

Compound documents collateral factors that determine borrowing capacity.

Liquidation rule

Compound III uses liquidation collateral factors and account absorption mechanics.

Base asset

Compound III markets revolve around a base asset, so the exact market matters.

Governance settings

Parameters can change, so records need date, market, and protocol version.

Source context
