Compound Protocol Considers Foundation Creation
Compound Protocol, decentralized since June 2020, is exploring the establishment of a dedicated foundation to provide clearer leadership and coordination. While the protocol has grown with support from risk (Gauntlet) and security (OpenZeppelin) partners, it has lacked consistent community leadership structure. Key points: - Foundation would be separate from Compound Labs - Aims to improve coordination and leadership - Coincides with upcoming Compound v4 development - Similar to Uniswap Foundation model The initiative comes as Compound Labs reduces involvement and community engagement increases. The foundation would serve as a coordination layer while maintaining the protocol's decentralized nature.
