The Compound Protocol is an Ethereum smart contract for supplying or borrowing assets. Through the cToken contracts, accounts on the blockchain supply capital (Ether or ERC-20 tokens) to receive cTokens or borrow assets from the protocol (holding other assets as collateral). The Compound cToken contracts track these balances and algorithmically set interest rates for borrowers.
Before getting started with this repo, please read:
- The Compound Whitepaper, describing how Compound works
- The Compound Protocol Specification, explaining in plain English how the protocol operates

Contributing to the Compound protocol is a bit different than most open-source projects -- check out the community guide on Contributing.
We detail a few of the core contracts in the Compound protocol.
- CToken, CErc20 and CEther
- The Compound cTokens, which are self-contained borrowing and lending contracts. CToken contains the core logic and CErc20 and CEther add public interfaces for Erc20 tokens and ether, respectively. Each CToken is assigned an interest rate and risk model (see InterestRateModel and Comptroller sections), and allows accounts to *mint* (supply capital), *redeem* (withdraw capital), *borrow* and *repay a borrow*. Each CToken is an ERC-20 compliant token where balances represent ownership of the market.
- Comptroller
- The risk model contract, which validates permissible user actions and disallows actions if they do not fit certain risk parameters. For instance, the Comptroller enforces that each borrowing user must maintain a sufficient collateral balance across all cTokens.
- Follow the existing naming schema (ControllerGX)
- Update the scenario runner in scenario/src/Builder/ComptrollerImplBuilder.ts
- Create unit tests and fork simulations as necessary
- Call
npx saddle deploy Comptroller -n mainnetto deploy to mainnet and generate new ABI - The ABI can also be generated by deploying to mainnet in a fork simulation
- Call
node script/comptroller-abito merge the new Comptroller ABI with the Unitroller ABI - Ensure that commit contains new generated Comptroller ABI
-
Updating the Comptroller
- Comp
- The Compound Governance Token (COMP). Holders of this token have the ability to govern the protocol via the governor contract.
- Governor Alpha
- The administrator of the Compound timelock contract. Holders of Comp token may create and vote on proposals which will be queued into the Compound timelock and then have effects on Compound cToken and Comptroller contracts. This contract may be replaced in the future with a beta version.
- InterestRateModel
- Contracts which define interest rate models. These models algorithmically determine interest rates based on the current utilization of a given market (that is, how much of the supplied assets are liquid versus borrowed).
- Careful Math
- Library for safe math operations.
- ErrorReporter
- Library for tracking error codes and failure conditions.
- Exponential
- Library for handling fixed-point decimal numbers.
- SafeToken
- Library for safely handling Erc20 interaction.
- WhitePaperInterestRateModel
- Initial interest rate model, as defined in the Whitepaper. This contract accepts a base rate and slope parameter in its constructor.
To run compound, pull the repository from GitHub and install its dependencies. You will need yarn or npm installed.
git clone https://github.com/compound-finance/compound-protocol
cd compound-protocol
yarn install --lock-file # or `npm install`
The Compound Protocol has a simple scenario evaluation tool to test and evaluate scenarios which could occur on the blockchain. This is primarily used for constructing high-level integration tests. The tool also has a REPL to interact with local the Compound Protocol (similar to truffle console).
yarn repl -n development
yarn repl -n rinkeby
> Read CToken cBAT Address
Command: Read CToken cBAT Address
AddressV<val=0xAD53863b864AE703D31b819d29c14cDA93D7c6a6>
You can read more about the scenario runner in the Scenario Docs on steps for using the repl.
Jest contract tests are defined under the tests directory. To run the tests run:
yarn test
There are additional tests under the spec/scenario folder. These are high-level integration tests based on the scenario runner depicted above. The aim of these tests is to be highly literate and have high coverage in the interaction of contracts.
The Compound Protocol has a number of formal verification specifications, powered by Certora. You can find details in the spec/formal folder. The Certora Verification Language (CVL) files included are specifications, which when with the Certora CLI tool, produce formal proofs (or counter-examples) that the code of a given contract exactly matches that specification.
To run code coverage, run:
yarn coverage
To lint the code, run:
yarn lint
To run in docker:
# Build the docker image
docker build -t compound-protocol .
# Run a shell to the built image
docker run -it compound-protocol /bin/sh
From within a docker shell, you can interact locally with the protocol via ganache and truffle:

'10000000000000000000000000'Note: you will need to set ~/.ethereum/<network> with your private key or assign your private key to the environment variable ACCOUNT.
Note: for all sections including Etherscan verification, you must set the ETHERSCAN_API_KEY to a valid API Key from Etherscan.
To deploy a new cToken, you can run the token:deploy. command, as follows. If you set VERIFY=true, the script will verify the token on Etherscan as well. The JSON here is the token config JSON, which should be specific to the token you wish to list.
npx saddle -n rinkeby script token:deploy '{
"underlying": "0x577D296678535e4903D59A4C929B718e1D575e0A",

"initialExchangeRateMantissa": "2.0e18",
"name": "Compound Kyber Network Crystal",
"symbol": "cKNC",

}'If you only want to verify an existing token an Etherscan, make sure ETHERSCAN_API_KEY is set and run token:verify with the first argument as the token address and the second as the token config JSON:
npx saddle -n rinkeby script token:verify 0x19B674715cD20626415C738400FDd0d32D6809B6 '{

}'Finally, to see if a given deployment matches this version of the Compound Protocol, you can run token:match with a token address and token config:
npx saddle -n rinkeby script token:match 0x19B674715cD20626415C738400FDd0d32D6809B6 '{

}'To deploy a specific version of the Compound Protocol, you can use the token:deploy script through Docker:
docker run --env ETHERSCAN_API_KEY --env VERIFY=true --env ACCOUNT=0x$(cat ~/.ethereum/rinkeby) compoundfinance/compound-protocol:latest npx saddle -n rinkeby script token:deploy '{

}'To match a deployed contract against a given version of the Compound Protocol, you can run token:match through Docker, passing a token address and config:
docker run --env ACCOUNT=0x$(cat ~/.ethereum/rinkeby) compoundfinance/compound-protocol:latest npx saddle -n rinkeby script token:match 0xF1BAd36CB247C82Cb4e9C2874374492Afb50d565 '{
