Compound V3 Faces Moderate Liquidity Risk Amid $1.39B TVL, Audit Report Finds
A security researcher's report assesses the liquidity risk of Compound V3, the lending protocol now deployed on Ethereum and several Layer 2 networks. The platform holds roughly $1.39 billion in total value locked, with about $950 million on Ethereum mainnet and the rest on L2s such as Optimism, Arbitrum, and Base. The analysis flags concentration risk, with about 62% of TVL tied to ETH, USDC, and WBTC, and dependence on third-party cross-chain bridges as the most significant vulnerabilities. Existing safeguards include per-asset collateral caps, rate-capping mechanisms, multi-feed oracles, and timelocked governance, which the report says keep the overall risk rating at moderate. The report also identifies governance misuse and flash-loan manipulation as areas requiring continued attention.
