Compound Dai (ticker: cDAI) is an ERC-20 token issued by the Compound protocol, a decentralized lending and borrowing platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. When users deposit the Dai stablecoin into Compound, they receive cDAI as a balance token that accrues interest over time. The token’s visual identity is closely tied to the broader Compound brand rather than a standalone mark.
Design and History
Compound Dai is not a separate organization with its own logo. It is a tokenized representation of Dai deposits within the Compound protocol, and its visual identity derives from the parent Compound brand. The token’s official website is listed as app.compound.finance, and its contract address is 0x5d3a536E4D6DbD6114cc1Ead35777bAB948E3643 on the Ethereum mainnet [1].
Compound Labs, the company behind the protocol, was founded in 2017 [2]. The Compound brand identity uses a circle-based design rendered in teal and black, built around a teal palette with the hex code #00D395 [2]. Brandfetch lists Compound Labs’ official brand colors as Caribbean Green (#00D395), Athens Gray (#F9FAFB), and Bunker (#070A0E) [2].
In February 2018, the ethereum-lists/tokens repository updated the token entry from “Compound Dai” (symbol: cDai) to “Compound Sai” (symbol: cSai), reflecting a change in the underlying collateral asset at that time [3]. The current cDAI token on Ethereum mainnet is listed under the name “Compound Dai” with the symbol “cDAI” in token registries [1].
Typography and Design
No official documentation is publicly available describing a distinct typographic system or logo construction specifically for the Compound Dai token. The token icon used across blockchain explorers and wallet interfaces is a branded representation of the cDAI asset, but no official designer attribution or design specification has been published. The Compound parent brand’s teal color (#00D395) is the most clearly documented visual element associated with the protocol’s identity [2].
