Compound Open Oracle

The Open Oracle is a Compound led initiative to improve price feeds for the entire Ethereum DeFi movement. It is a standard and SDK allowing reporters to sign key-value pairs (e.g. a price feed) that interested users can post to the blockchain. The system has a built-in view system that allows clients to easily share data and build aggregates. Read more in the announcement post from Compound’s Coburn Berry.

Argent

Argent has natively integrated Compound into their smart contract wallet. You can begin earning interest in just a few clicks, without managing Ethereum gas / transaction parameters - user friendly! Responses to the new Argent launch have been positive and people like the ability to begin participating with Compound from mobile in just a few taps. Argent recently did an interview about growth at The DeFiant.

Our friends at Argent gave us several invites to skip the waitlist. Use the code “compound19” or click this link to get through.

Huobi Wallet

Huobi Wallet has added Compound and supports cTokens. Now customers can earn interest on idle cryptos in the Huobi Wallet app. Here is a screenshot of what their new integration looks like.

Fabr(x)

Fabrx turns Compound smart contracts into a live RESTful API in less than a minute. You can try it with any smart contract.

rDAI - Delegate Interest

Imagine being able to keep your principal and share your interest with a nonprofit. One interesting project that is focused on this and was released to the public recently is rDAI. rDAI is similar to cDAI in numerous ways. As we have discussed previously, cDAI is a tokenized balance erc20 token. You can also send cDAI to other people just as easily as any other cryptocurrency by using MetaMask.

rDAI builds upon this structure and enables you to establish a separate address for the recipient of the interest. This is a valuable additional feature that could make it easy to delegate money to charity or establish a Patreon type of experience while still retaining 100% of your principal.

With rDAI, you can direct the interest you earn while lending DAI to any 3rd party you choose, or even back to yourself. When you deposit your DAI, you choose the address of where you would like your interest to go. You will receive rDAI, which will always be redeemable for the DAI you deposit.

Here is the launch tweet and their main overview. You can join their Telegram and view their site. Also here is a recent video interview with the founder Francisco.

“For now we are only using Compound, as it has by far the best documentation and was the easiest to integrate.” - Francisco Renzia, rDAI founder

Markets

Total supply in Compound increased +8.5% week-over-week to $158.3 million, with over 8,900 unique suppliers. This growth was driven by $4-5 million increases in supply to each of the ETH, USDC, and REP markets, even as the total market cap for all cryptocurrencies declined ~6% week-over-week. The three largest suppliers provided $5.5 million of ETH and REP, $3.9 million of ETH, and $2.6 million of ETH.

Over the past month, suppliers have earned ~$500,000 in total interest (using today’s prices)!

Total borrowing increased +2.2% week-over-week to $44.6 million, with over 1,200 unique borrowers. The three largest borrowers borrowed $2.3 million of DAI, $1.6 million of USDC, and $1.0 million of DAI.
