Compound USD Coin (cUSDC) is an ERC-20 token issued by Compound, an algorithmic, autonomous interest rate protocol on the Ethereum blockchain. cUSDC is Compound’s wrapped version of USDC, representing a user’s supplied USDC balance in a Compound money market. The token’s official smart contract address on Ethereum is 0x39AA39c021dfbaE8faC545936693aC917d5E7563. [1] [2]
Design and History
Compound USD Coin is a token-level asset within the Compound protocol ecosystem, and its visual identity is tied to the broader Compound brand rather than a standalone corporate mark. Compound Labs, the company behind the protocol, was founded in 2017. [3]
In token listings and blockchain explorers, cUSDC is identified by its ticker symbol and contract address. The token’s logo URI is hosted through the Smold.app asset service, which supplies the icon used across Ethereum token lists and wallet interfaces. [4]
Compound’s own brand identity uses a distinctive Caribbean Green as its primary color, with a documented hex value of #00D395. The brand palette also includes Athens Gray (#F9FAFB) and Bunker (#070A0E). [3]
Meaning and Symbolism
cUSDC functions as a receipt token: it is issued by Compound to users who supply USDC to the protocol, acting like an instant USDC savings account. [2] The token’s visual representation in wallets and explorers is therefore a functional identifier for this wrapped asset, rather than a symbol carrying independent brand meaning.
Typography and Design
No official typography or design specification for the cUSDC token icon has been published by Compound Labs. The token’s icon is distributed through third-party asset services and token list registries, and its appearance may vary depending on the platform displaying it. [4]
