Hey! Kyril From AlphaGrowth here
I lead the Product for Decentralized frontend on behalf of AlphaGrowth for the Compound Growth Program. I’m supervising the development of the Decentralized Frontend for Compound V3. The new frontend gives the community a secure, open, and censorship-resistant way to access the Compound interface.
Why Decentralized Frontend
A year ago, when we first started the Growth program, there were certain tools and integrations that could not be integrated to the compound.finance website as the domain does not belong to the DAO. An increasing need was felt to move towards a community owned alternative Frontend.
This was made possible by contributions from the Compound Grants program, WOOF!, @Nextosi, and community members.
Key improvements we’ve introduced:
- Decentralized Hosting – Allowing users to host the compound interface locally removes reliance on a single centralized frontend, reducing censorship risk and security threats.
- Better UX/UI – Users can now see all their assets across chains, and lending/borrowing flows are clearer and more user-friendly.
- SEO Optimisation – Allows Compound to attract more organic traffic.
- On-Chain Tracking for Growth Campaigns – More efficient incentive distribution and traffic attribution.
