What is Bancor?
Bancor is a blockchain protocol designed to facilitate the seamless conversion of crypto assets without the need for centralized cryptocurrency exchanges. Launched in 2017, Bancor has consistently been at the forefront of decentralized finance, introducing innovative solutions like automated market maker (AMM) technology, liquidity pools and bonding curves. These features have revolutionized the DeFi space by enabling more efficient liquidity provision and decentralized trading.
At the heart of the protocol is BNT (Bancor Network Token), the native utility token used within the ecosystem. BNT acts as an intermediary in all trades conducted on the Bancor platform, allowing users to swap tokens efficiently across multiple blockchains. Liquidity providers who deposit tokens into Bancor's liquidity pools earn fees from trades, offering an attractive incentive to lock their assets in the protocol.
