ARCrypto is a private decentralized finance group teaching sophisticated capital how to borrow against crypto, tokenized equities, and stocks without forcing a sale or triggering a recognized disposal.

How can I borrow against my crypto?

On-chain lending markets and centralized providers extend USD or stablecoin loans against Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto collateral, typically at single-digit rates. ARCrypto teaches the structure, liquidation thresholds, and counsel-aware framework.

What is Buy, Borrow, Die?

Buy, Borrow, Die is a wealth-management strategy: buy long-term appreciating assets, borrow against them instead of selling, and pass them to heirs at a stepped-up basis. ARCrypto teaches the on-chain version of the same playbook.

Are these strategies tax-compliant?

ARCrypto describes mechanical features of certain on-chain operations that are not realization events under common interpretations of major-jurisdiction tax law. ARCrypto does not replace tax counsel.

Compound (COMP) - ARCrypto

ARCIPEDIA · COIN · DEFI

Plain English

Compound is one of the earliest and most-respected lending protocols on Ethereum. COMP is the governance token; its mid-2020 launch via liquidity mining kicked off the “DeFi summer” of 2020. Compound v3 (Comet) shifted to single-borrowable-asset markets for better risk isolation.

How it actually works

Each Comet market has one borrowable asset (usually USDC) and multiple collaterals. Users deposit collateral, borrow USDC. Interest rates float based on utilization. The protocol has been deployed on Ethereum mainnet, multiple L2s, and Polygon. COMP governance controls market parameters and treasury.

What it means for you

COMP has been overtaken in size by Aave but remains a high-quality DeFi protocol. For HNW positioning, COMP is a smaller, more conservative DeFi governance allocation. Most users interact with Compound for the lending utility more than for COMP itself.
