What is cUSDT?
cUSDT is a type of ERC-20 token issued by the Compound protocol, called cTokens. cTokens are distributed to users who lend assets on Compound and are used to keep track of the amount of assets lent and the value of the interest accrued. cTokens accumulate interest through their exchange rate against the underlying asset. Over time, each cToken becomes increasingly valuable compared to the underlying. Each asset that is lendable on Compound has a corresponding cToken. cUSDT is the cToken corresponding to Tether USD (USDT). The amount of cUSDT that a user holds will stay constant over time, but when you trade it back into the underlying asset (USDT), the amount of USDT will have increased based on the interest rate.

What is Compound?
Compound is a decentralized finance lending protocol built on Ethereum. The Compound Governance Token (COMP) is the native token of the Compound protocol and provides holders with the ability to participate in protocol governance. Stakeholders who possess at least 1% of COMP tokens in circulation can submit governance proposals; stakeholders with fewer tokens can vote on proposals, or delegate their votes to other members of the community to vote on their behalf. Compound is in the process of turning over development and control of the protocol to its users, and the introduction of COMP is an important step to fully decentralizing governance of the protocol. Learn more about Compound on their website.
