Decentralized finance app Compound (CCC:COMP-USD) is coming up on its first birthday soon. Those who purchased Compound’s cTokens on launch will know that the platform wasted no time cooking up big gains. In fact, since launching in June of last year, COMP has gained over 500%. That’s a very good birthday present for investors. With the crypto reaching new heights today, speculators are theorizing around Compound (COMP) price predictions.

Compound is an app built on the Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD) platform. The invention of Compound was a response to a lack of utility in traditional bank interest-building. When someone puts their money into a savings account, it compounds interest. However, that money is locked into place whilst doing so; you can’t pull that money out to do other things while it builds interest. But with decentralized Compound, you can do exactly that with your crypto.

Compound allows users to put any ERC20 tokens — a certain token class on the Ethereum network — into a Compound depository. The tokens get locked in, and they build interest according to that specific token’s demand on the global market. But, differently from traditional banks, you can take your tokens out in a way. Users can withdraw cTokens, a Compound version of whatever token is inserted. These tokens can be used on other DeFi apps, allowing users to gather multiple DeFi benefits using the same set of tokens. Another important feature is the ability to borrow crypto. Compound has over $15 billion in crypto assets stored for lending, making it the DApp with the highest lending value in the world.
