what's Bancor?
Bancor is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that provides automated liquidity for token trading on blockchain networks. It pioneered the concept of single-sided liquidity pools, allowing users to provide liquidity using only one asset while protecting against impermanent loss through its unique bonding curve mechanism and governance token incentives. The protocol enables seamless onchain swaps, limit orders, and range orders, combining elements of automated market makers (AMMs) with order book functionality for precise trading strategies. Governed by the BancorDAO and its native token BNT, the ecosystem includes advanced tools like Carbon DeFi for sophisticated liquidity management and Arb Fast Lane for cross-DEX arbitrage. Bancor supports multiple blockchains, facilitating interoperability and efficient capital deployment for liquidity providers and traders alike.
Bancor collaborates with Token Engineering & EthCC for TERSE2026 at EthCC[9] in Cannes.
