Working for Compound Protocol
summary
Compound Grants describes a community-funded program that has issued over 30 grants from the protocol treasury and is currently pausing to redesign how it scales, while proposals can be submitted via a 100 COMP community proposal mechanism that lowers on-chain entry costs. The session gives concrete examples: fixing a November 2020 oracle/price configuration problem, negotiating transparent, on-chain compensation (including one ongoing salaried grant), and a playbook for finding high‑impact work in the forums and Discord.
