This is a walkthrough of what it loos like to use.

Compound website

Current market size screenshot as of April 5 2020, 114m USD total supply, is not big.
Earn interest by locking ETH  (or other asset you choose) as collateral
​

1: Go to
https://app.compound.finance/

2: Connect to your wallet 
I am using Metamask for this walkthrough. 
Current market asset and APY (Annual Percentage Yield) below, 0.01% interest by collaterizing ETH.. Not much. 2.07% for DAI
3: Click Ether to deposit
Collateral factor: Percentage of asset collateral price that you can borrow
e.g. 1000 USD ETH collateral = you can borrow 750 USD of asset.

It is different each crypto asset. 
e.g. Augur = 40%

Metamask or your connected device will ask you to confirm the transaction.
The screen it looks like this now. Yes I deposited only a little.
That's it. I can earn 0.01% of annual interest now.

Additionally, this is what it looks like to borrow. 
Click Dai in the "Available to borrow" and you will se below.
APY is 4.24%. 
I have disabled as collateral at the end of this tutorial and withdrew to Metamask.
