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.
Maple Finance is an on‑chain capital‑markets platform that enables under‑collateralised loans to trading firms and Web3 businesses via permissioned lending pools. Pool delegates perform credit assessment and share in origination fees, while lenders earn a fixed yield plus default protection through an insurance ‘cover’ pool. As of 2025 Maple has originated over $2.3 billion across both Ethereum and Solana deployments.
