Decentralized finance (DeFi) interest rate protocol Compound Finance has reported a token distribution issues within its newly implemented Proposal 062, which is over-rewarding suppliers into the tens of millions of dollars.

The upgrade was designed to "carve up COMP rewards distribution and problems fixes" and was fully verified without issues. However, within hours, the team noted "unusual action," stating that "Chemical compound Labs and members of the community are investigating discrepancies in the COMP distribution."

Despite the developments, the team has stressed that no funds either supplied or borrowed are at risk. Users of the protocol are reporting sizable windfalls, i claiming a deposit of lxx million COMP tokens into their account, equivalent to $20 million.

The founder of Compound Labs, Robert Leshner shared some insight into the events:

"Proposal 62 and the new contract were written by a community member, with review from multiple other community members. This is the greatest opportunity, and greatest risk for a decentralized protocol--that an open development process allows a bug to enter production."
