What Is C.R.E.A.M. Finance?

A fork of Compound Finance (COMP), C.R.E.A.M. Finance serves as a multi-purpose DeFi protocol. It’s essentially a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading platform, with liquidity mining forming its basis.

The token used by C.R.E.A.M. Finance, CREAM, is an ERC20 standard token that gives its holders governance and economic powers. Participants can engage in network governance and claim a portion of the revenue from token switching on C.R.E.A.M.'s decentralized exchange (0.05% of the 0.25% charge). A total of 9 million tokens were scheduled to be available upon launch. The community, though, voted to lower the maximum cap, and 6 million tokens were burned as a result.
