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.
Portal is the user interface for Wormhole, a cross‑chain messaging protocol secured by a 19‑guardian proof‑of‑authority network. It supports token transfers, NFT teleports and arbitrary message passing between more than 30 chains, including Solana, Ethereum and Aptos. A governance token airdrop was announced for Q3 2025 following the Guardian Lightpaper outlining a move to delegated staking.
