What makes Bancor unique
Bancor was founded in June 2017, the project is a DEX (Decentralised Exchange) platform built on the Ethereum and EOS blockchain with its most notable feature being its Single-Sided Liquidity for staking. The project is overseen by the Bancor DAO (Decentralised Autonomous Organisation), the organisation’s objective is to deliver DeFi (Decentralised Finance) products to the mainstream from a secure format.
Following its launch Bancor invented the first automated market maker (AMM) and liquidity pool (LP) in 2017. This event cemented Bancor as the first DeFi protocol which inarguably paved the way for the DeFi boom and the many projects that followed.
Despite being the first out of the block for DeFi, Bancor has tackled core issues that almost all other liquidity providers still have intrinsically emended in their whitepapers. First of which would be voluntary token exposure, which exposes liquidity providers to the price volatility of two or more tokens as well as Impermanent Loss which subjects LPs to value loss when prices of pool assets diverge, causing them to under-perform a basic buy-and-hold strategy.
Bancor's Liquidity pools offer passive income for Bancor holders through its staking mechanism, around half of the total Bancor in circulation is staked directly on the platform and its Single-Sided Liquidity pools collectively represent over £100 million in total liquidity.
Bancor remains as one of the most audited crypto projects to date. Enduring audits from Certiks, Peck shield and Halborn has resulted in its acclaimed security receiving the highest safety scores from DeFi safety. Many DAOs have nominated Bancor as their preferred treasury solution including Polygon (MATIC), Synthetix (SNX), BarnBridge (BOND), WOO Network (WOO) and more.
