Compare BasedApp and Compound V3 on TVL, fees, revenue and activity to understand how these projects stack up.
BasedApp is an omnichannel crypto trading and spending platform built on Hyperliquid, the leading decentralized exchange offering best-in-class liquidity. It enables users to trade spot and leveraged crypto assets with real-time settlement on decentralized order books, while maintaining full self-custody — BasedApp never holds or transfers your funds. The platform also integrates smooth banking on- and off-ramps in USD and SGD, alongside a Visa card for everyday crypto spending. Backed by Ethena Labs, BasedApp bridges DeFi performance with fintech usability, giving traders and investors a seamless way to manage, trade, and spend their assets across the Hyperliquid and HyperEVM ecosystems.
Compound V3—also branded ‘Comet’—moves to a one‑way collateral model where users borrow a single base asset (USDC, ETH or WBTC) against isolated collateral lists. The simpler architecture reduces attack surface, halves gas per transaction and lets governance set per‑asset borrow caps. Launched on Ethereum in August 2022, V3 has since been ported to Arbitrum and Base and underpins products such as Coinbase’s USDC institutional lending pool.
