Where does this yield come from?
Compound yield comes from lending interest paid by borrowers. Compound v3 (Comet) uses isolated markets per base asset, so USDC, ETH, and other base assets each have independent supply and borrow rates. Rates adjust dynamically based on each market's utilization.
Risk considerations
Compound is one of the original DeFi lending protocols with a multi-year production history. Compound v3 introduced a more conservative risk model than v2. Key risks: smart contract vulnerabilities and governance decisions. No DeFi deposit is insured.

What is the difference between Compound v2 and v3?
