Decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol Compound saw its token COMP plunge by roughly 10% Thursday, after a bug in its computer program rendered the platform overpaying millions of dollars in COMP as liquidity mining rewards. Compound is the world’s fifth largest decentralized finance protocol, with more than $9 billion value locked, according to data provider DeFi Pulse.
