This is Spear. He is being forced to leave his grandma's house against his will. You know who would never do this to him? Grandma. 13/10

We're thrilled to announce @Optimism as our first v4 Priority Partner!

As DeFi and TradFi converge, finance will increasingly operate onchain, and Optimism's battle-tested infrastructure already powers 15% of all crypto transactions. Compound v4 will bring institutional-grade lending to match.

This partnership brings together two foundational layers of the onchain economy: scalable execution and programmable credit.

Together, we’re building infrastructure for the next wave of finance.

[Compound Foundation @Compound_xyz]

Welcome to the official account of the Compound Foundation!

Compound pioneered decentralized lending in 2018. Today, we're building the infrastructure layer for the next era of finance, where DeFi and TradFi converge.

ICYMI The Foundation was formed following a decisive Compound governance vote last summer. Since then, we've been heads down building on our foundation of billions in TVL and years of security. Now it's time to share what's coming in v4:
➡️ Institutional-grade lending infrastructure
➡️ An integration suite for partners to embed credit into their products
➡️ Native support for tokenized assets, starting with equities, cross-chain capabilities, and more

We'll use this account to share updates and engage with the community.

First announcements incoming. Stay tuned.

1/ Tried to be the King, but the Ace is back.

Compound wasn't just a DeFi protocol; it was the pioneer. Founded in 2017, it kicked off "DeFi Summer" in 2020. Then... it went silent. Here is the story of the "Ghost Era" and the return of the Foundation. 🧵

Tools for the job! How do you like to do your crypto lending?

[Woof @woof_software]

1/ Aave vs. Compound: The "Lending Wars" are over? The two protocols aren't really competitors anymore; they are different tools for different jobs.

But recent events have exposed a new divide: Efficiency vs. Code. Here is the breakdown of where the market stands after the December 2025 governance stress test.

@fulligin Honestly it’s high time that traffic lights and other essential infrastructure comes equipped with backup batteries. They’ve become quite cheap in recent years.

Well that didn’t take long! The brawlers at the Hayes Valley restaurant — her name is Shireen Afkari and his name is Christian Bruchman. She’s a Senior Growth Marketing Manager at @creditkarma and he is a Staff Scientist at Advanced Land and Water, Inc. (he’s taken down all his socials).
