Compound Labs released a white paper providing details of its plans to launch an application-specific blockchain known as Compound Chain. According to the white paper, Compound Chain provides money market services through a wide range of networks.
Robert Leshner, Compound founder, revealed that the firm wants a blockchain that will provide the right framework for Compound (COMP).
Ā āWe want to announce the designs for a blockchain that can scale Compound over the next century,ā he said, adding that there is no timeline for that to happen but itās ready for a testnet now.
Limitations with Compound in Ethereum
The new white paper was prepared by Leshner and lab staffers Max Wolff, Jared Flatow, and Geoffrey Hayes. They also mentioned three problems of the present Compound on Ethereum (ETH), which includes all supported assets sharing the risk of each supported asset, failure to serve assets on other chains, and the high cost of gas. As a result of these issues, the team hopes that the new tool could bring more assets into the compound from different ledgers.
