Compound DAI Rate Model Update

Following stability fee increases by MakerDAO, the Compound Dai interest rate model was updated; borrowing rates are now 5-20%, based on utilization in the Dai market.

This new look means we can iterate quickly, and consistently, while staying true to our value proposition: “compound your crypto.” We hope you’re as excited as we are 📈.
