Most of the Balancer Labs team will be in attendance, committing up to $50,000 in prizes for #BUIDL Week, handing out swag at our booth, and throwing the biggest DeFi VDay party of the week. Read on for all the details.
What is Balancer Protocol?
Balancer is an open-source protocol, automated portfolio manager, liquidity provider, and decentralized exchange. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, Balancer offers new solutions to the problems found on traditional and centralized exchanges. Developers leverage Balancer as a permissionless building block for DeFi innovation. Balancer’s mission is to become the primary source of DeFi liquidity by providing the most flexible and powerful platform for programmable liquidity.
Balancer’s technology facilitates the growth of a decentralized future. The V2 Vault architecture offers security, flexibility, capital efficiency, and gas efficiency, and its customizable AMM logic acts as a permissionless building block for projects creating innovative DeFi solutions.
Take a look at what the Balancer team accomplished in 2021 and the roadmap for 2022.
