Keynote: Gateway
summary
Compound builds Gateway as a dedicated Substrate chain to run a v3 lending engine after protocol growth from roughly $200M to $20B in assets made Ethereum too costly; it uses cash token as an interest‑bearing, portable unit of account across starports (example chains: Ethereum, Tezos), exposes only four user actions (upload/lock, extract, transfer, liquidate), represents borrows as negative balances, lets liquidators transfer debt instead of repaying first, and relies on oracles/archivists and supply caps while still under careful security re‑architecture.
