Lending platform Compound becomes multichain



 "Compound III" is the name of the latest upgrade of the lending platform and represents the third major innovation for the protocol. A few days ago, Compound announced in the Community Forum that the latest code version "Comet" was ready for launch. A day later, a tweet from the development team followed. Accordingly, the first market of the new iteration is ready with USDC on Ethereum.


The platform currently only runs on the Ethereum blockchain. With Compound III, lending will soon be making its way into the multichain environment as the biggest innovation.


For the exact start date, all you have to do is submit an application in the community. Once voted for, Comet should go live.


The future of lending

Compound launched in September 2018 as Ethereum's first cryptocurrency lending marketplace. The second version followed in May 2019. In the summer of 2020, the project, with its numerous opportunities to generate returns (yield farming), gave the starting signal for the DeFi hype. Although currently limited to the Ethereum blockchain, Compound still ranks among the top 10 DeFi platforms with $3 billion Total Value Locked (TVL) .

Compound is therefore still one of the big players in the crypto sector and is also becoming interesting for investors from outside. This is shown above all by the introduction of the platform for institutional investors, Compound Treasury. This even got a rating from the major rating agency Standard & Poor's (S&P) in May. Although the platform has been put on a par with the ratings of many “junk bonds” with a B-credit score, this shows that the traditional financial sector also has DeFi projects on its radar. Also of note: S&P rated the platform amid a historic crash in the overall crypto market.


With the launch of its third version, Compound realizes the importance of multichain compatibility. Your biggest competitor in the lending sector, Aave, has already ventured into this area. With its third version, Aave V3, the protocol enabled access to the platform via blockchains such as Avalanche, Harmony or Fantom, laying the foundation for a new DeFi interoperability.


As soon as Compound follows suit, users should have access to new markets and, if necessary, faster processing of their transactions on scalable platforms.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
