An Analysis of the Market Risk to Participants in the Compound Protocol

Key Takeaways

This paper gives an overview of the market risks, the liquidation mechanism and the implications of protocol and market variables on Compound.

Despite increased transparency, understanding the market risk to participate in Compound is difficult because of the complexity of decentralized market dynamics.

Our results showed that the Compound protocol is able to scale to a large market size while having a low probability of default under volatile market conditions.
