About Band Protocol

Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that aggregates and connects real-world data to smart contracts. Blockchains are great at immutable storage and deterministic, verifiable computations — however, they cannot access trusted real-world information available outside the networks. Band Protocol enables smart contract applications such as DeFi, prediction markets, and games to be built on-chain without relying on the single point of failure of a centralized oracle. Band Protocol is backed by a strong network of stakeholders including Sequoia Capital, one of the top venture capital firms in the world, and the leading cryptocurrency exchange, Binance.

Band Protocol 2.0, introduces BandChain, a high-performance blockchain built purely for oracle computations to accommodate user-defined data requests and support various data oracles on multiple blockchains. The BandChain is fully compatible with Cosmos SDK and the IBC standard, making it one of the most flexible and cross-chain compatible oracle solutions in the blockchain space. Band Protocol collaborators include bZx, Elrond, Certik, Wanchain, Tomochain, Troy, AirSwap, Fantom and Kava.

Band Protocol offers the following features:

Decentralized & Community Curated Solution
Band Protocol adopts a community-curated approach whereby anyone is able to stake BAND tokens to participate and fetch data for data requesters and earn block rewards.
High Throughput & Latency
By having an independent blockchain built specifically for oracles, heavy computations such as data sourcing and aggregation are offloaded from any target blockchain (i.e. Ethereum) to streamline data requests and mitigate any network congestions issues.
Flexible & Customizable Data Query
Band Protocol enables the creation of a data request script where decentralized applications have full flexibility in defining how the data they need is sourced and aggregated. Hence, data feeds can be consumed safely whether through any developer-defined method such as median, time-weighted, volume-weighted moving average.
Secure Connections to High-Quality Data
BandChain enables on-demand data query from any traditional open API and will be able to facilitate cross-chain payment for permissioned oracle data from private or credentialed APIs which deliver premium data.
Cross-Chain Compatibility
With a key focus on being blockchain-agnostic and established partners such as Fantom, Kava, Tomochain and more — Band Protocol seamlessly connects to any other blockchain through bridge contracts or Cosmos-based blockchain through IBC.

Band Token

BAND is the native token used to secure Band Protocol’s high-performance oracle blockchain and used as a medium of exchange for query fees for private APIs or APIs under a paywall. Individuals can stake BAND to contribute to sourcing and aggregating data for data requesters in return for block rewards. Band Protocol has onboarded a cohort of reputable block validators such as Stake.fish, Chorus One, Cosmostation and more for token holders to safely delegate their tokens.
