Welcome to LearnSecure Docs!
Our mission is to empower you with the security knowledge needed to navigate Compound v3 safely and confidently. Whether you’re just getting started in DeFi or have some borrowing experience, you’ll find clear, practical guidance here.

What Is Compound v3?​

Compound v3 (also called “Comet”) is an over-collateralized, single-borrow-asset DeFi lending protocol. Users supply crypto assets as collateral and borrow a stablecoin (e.g., USDC) against it. Proper risk management is crucial to avoid liquidation penalties and potential losses.

How This Site Is Organized​

LearnSecure is divided into four core modules, each focusing on a key aspect of DeFi security within Compound v3:

  1. Module 1: Safe Borrowing Practices
    Learn how collateral factors and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios work, plus strategies to avoid over-leveraging and self-liquidate before it’s too late.

  2. Module 2: Liquidation Risk Management
    Dive into Compound’s liquidation mechanics, see how market volatility affects your positions, and discover early-warning tools to stay ahead of the curve.

  3. Module 3: Scam Prevention
    Identify common DeFi scams—phishing sites, malicious contracts, permission exploits—and learn how to verify that you’re interacting with the real Compound protocol.

  4. Module 4: Security Tools & Best Practices
    Explore hardware wallets, smart contract scanners, transaction simulators, and tokens-approval management to build a robust defense around your assets.

Who This Is For​

  • Beginners new to DeFi borrowing who need clear, step-by-step explanations.
  • Intermediate users seeking deeper insights into risk management and security tooling.
  • Community members who want to contribute to a safer Compound ecosystem.
