Compound-v2-fork money market on Cronos — your receipt token appreciates each block
Suppliers receive tTokens minted at the current exchange rate. That rate — underlying per tToken — only ever rises as borrower interest accrues to the pool, so a fixed tToken balance quietly redeems for more USDC over time. No claiming, no rebasing: the value lives entirely in the exchange rate.
On-chain check of the Main-pool Comptroller (Tectonic Core / Unitroller) found admin() is a single externally-owned account with no contract code, and pauseGuardian() is the zero address. That one key alone can pause every market, reset collateral factors, and swap the Comptroller implementation — no multisig, no timelock.
admin() = 0x0000…b587 · pauseGuardian() = 0x0Live signals detected by Sentinel monitors across all five risk classes.
