Compound Protocol

The Compound Protocol is an Ethereum smart contract for supplying or borrowing assets. Through the cToken contracts, accounts on the blockchain supply capital (Ether or ERC-20 tokens) to receive cTokens or borrow assets from the protocol (holding other assets as collateral). The Compound cToken contracts track these balances and algorithmically set interest rates for borrowers.

Contributing to the Compound protocol is a bit different than most open-source projects -- check out the community guide on Contributing.

Contracts

We detail a few of the core contracts in the Compound protocol.

Installation

To run compound, pull the repository from GitHub and install its dependencies. You will need yarn or npm installed.

git clone https://github.com/compound-finance/compound-protocol
cd compound-protocol
yarn install --lock-file # or `npm install`

REPL

The Compound Protocol has a simple scenario evaluation tool to test and evaluate scenarios which could occur on the blockchain. This is primarily used for constructing high-level integration tests. The tool also has a REPL to interact with local the Compound Protocol (similar to truffle console).

yarn repl -n development
yarn repl -n rinkeby

> Read CToken cBAT Address
Command: Read CToken cBAT Address
AddressV<val=0xAD53863b864AE703D31b819d29c14cDA93D7c6a6>

You can read more about the scenario runner in the Scenario Docs on steps for using the repl.

Testing

Jest contract tests are defined under the tests directory. To run the tests run:

yarn test

Integration Specs

There are additional tests under the spec/scenario folder. These are high-level integration tests based on the scenario runner depicted above. The aim of these tests is to be highly literate and have high coverage in the interaction of contracts.

Formal Verification Specs

The Compound Protocol has a number of formal verification specifications, powered by Certora. You can find details in the spec/formal folder. The Certora Verification Language (CVL) files included are specifications, which when with the Certora CLI tool, produce formal proofs (or counter-examples) that the code of a given contract exactly matches that specification.

See the Scenario Docs on steps for using the repl.

Testing

Contract tests are defined under the tests directory. To run the tests run:

yarn test

Compound Token and Governance (#519)

Code Coverage

To run code coverage, run:

yarn coverage

Linting

To lint the code, run:

yarn lint

Docker

To run in docker:

# Build the docker image
docker build -t compound-protocol .

# Run a shell to the built image
docker run -it compound-protocol /bin/sh

From within a docker shell, you can interact locally with the protocol via ganache and truffle:

Console

After you deploy, as above, you can run a truffle console with the following command:

yarn console -n goerli

This command will start a saddle console conencted to Goerli testnet (see Saddle README):

Deploying a CToken from Source

Note: you will need to set ~/.ethereum/<network> with your private key or assign your private key to the environment variable ACCOUNT.

Note: for all sections including Etherscan verification, you must set the ETHERSCAN_API_KEY to a valid API Key from Etherscan.

To deploy a new cToken, you can run the token:deploy. command, as follows. If you set VERIFY=true, the script will verify the token on Etherscan as well. The JSON here is the token config JSON, which should be specific to the token you wish to list.

npx saddle -n rinkeby script token:deploy '{
  "underlying": "0x577D296678535e4903D59A4C929B718e1D575e0A",
  "comptroller": "$Comptroller",
  "interestRateModel": "$Base200bps_Slope3000bps",
  "initialExchangeRateMantissa": "2.0e18",
  "name": "Compound Kyber Network Crystal",
  "symbol": "cKNC",
  "decimals": "8",
  "admin": "$Timelock"
}'

If you only want to verify an existing token an Etherscan, make sure ETHERSCAN_API_KEY is set and run token:verify with the first argument as the token address and the second as the token config JSON:

npx saddle -n rinkeby script token:verify 0x19B674715cD20626415C738400FDd0d32D6809B6 '{
  "underlying": "0x577D296678535e4903D59A4C929B718e1D575e0A",
  "comptroller": "$Comptroller",
  "interestRateModel": "$Base200bps_Slope3000bps",
  "initialExchangeRateMantissa": "2.0e18",
  "name": "Compound Kyber Network Crystal",
  "symbol": "cKNC",
  "decimals": "8",
  "admin": "$Timelock"
}'

Finally, to see if a given deployment matches this version of the Compound Protocol, you can run token:match with a token address and token config:

npx saddle -n rinkeby script token:match 0x19B674715cD20626415C738400FDd0d32D6809B6 '{
  "underlying": "0x577D296678535e4903D59A4C929B718e1D575e0A",
  "comptroller": "$Comptroller",
  "interestRateModel": "$Base200bps_Slope3000bps",
  "initialExchangeRateMantissa": "2.0e18",
  "name": "Compound Kyber Network Crystal",
  "symbol": "cKNC",
  "decimals": "8",
  "admin": "$Timelock"
}'

Deploying a CToken from Docker Build

To deploy a specific version of the Compound Protocol, you can use the token:deploy script through Docker:

docker run --env ETHERSCAN_API_KEY --env VERIFY=true --env ACCOUNT=0x$(cat ~/.ethereum/rinkeby) compoundfinance/compound-protocol:latest npx saddle -n rinkeby script token:deploy '{
  "underlying": "0x577D296678535e4903D59A4C929B718e1D575e0A",
  "comptroller": "$Comptroller",
  "interestRateModel": "$Base200bps_Slope3000bps",
  "initialExchangeRateMantissa": "2.0e18",
  "name": "Compound Kyber Network Crystal",
  "symbol": "cKNC",
  "decimals": "8",
  "admin": "$Timelock"
}'

To match a deployed contract against a given version of the Compound Protocol, you can run token:match through Docker, passing a token address and config:

docker run --env ACCOUNT=0x$(cat ~/.ethereum/rinkeby) compoundfinance/compound-protocol:latest npx saddle -n rinkeby script token:match 0xF1BAd36CB247C82Cb4e9C2874374492Afb50d565 '{
  "underlying": "0x577D296678535e4903D59A4C929B718e1D575e0A",
  "comptroller": "$Comptroller",
  "interestRateModel": "$Base200bps_Slope3000bps",
  "initialExchangeRateMantissa": "2.0e18",
  "name": "Compound Kyber Network Crystal",
  "symbol": "cKNC",
  "decimals": "8",
  "admin": "$Timelock"
}'
