What is Balancer?

Balancer is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain. It works as a decentralized exchange (DEX) and an automated market maker (AMM) for ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum, but also supports layer-2 networks like Optimism and Arbitrum. What makes Balancer stand out from other crypto DEXs is its flexible liquidity pools. Basically, it lets users create pools with more than just two tokens, unlike most DEXs like Uniswap.

This means liquidity pools can hold up to eight different tokens with customizable ratios. In a typical two-token pool, liquidity is split 50/50 between both tokens. But with Balancer, it’s more like a self-balancing index fund — the token ratios don’t have to be equal. So, you could have a pool that’s 40% ETH, 30% BAL, 20% LINK, and 10% GNO.

On Balancer’s DEX, you can manage and trade crypto assets without needing a middleman. It’s all done through smart contracts — digital agreements that both sides agree to in order to make a trade happen.

How does Balancer (BAL) work?

Balancer uses smart contracts to automatically keep the balance between tokens in its liquidity pools. Whenever someone swaps one token for another in a pool, the system rebalances things by adjusting the token values based on a mathematical formula. This opens up arbitrage opportunities and keeps the pool balanced without the owner having to do anything manually.

Balancer runs on a unique algorithm called the ‘generalized constant function market maker’ (GCFMM). This model allows traders to make flexible token swaps, with pricing automatically adjusting depending on supply and demand. Trading on the platform is super secure since Balancer is built on Ethereum’s blockchain. Plus, independent audits are done regularly to make sure everything stays safe and trustworthy.

Balancer also lets users provide tokens to liquidity pools. By doing this, users help the protocol offer liquidity so that trading can happen smoothly. You can add different ERC-20 tokens to pools that are set up for them. In return for providing liquidity, you earn rewards in the form of tokens. These rewards come from a portion of the transaction fees paid by traders, and often include extra BAL tokens as part of the liquidity mining program.

BAL also plays a role in governance. If you hold BAL tokens, you can vote on major protocol updates and decisions.

Who founded Balancer (BAL)?

Balancer was launched in 2020 by Balancer Labs. The project came out of research at Harvard University by Fernando Martinelli and Mike McDonald. Both have solid experience in the crypto space and deep knowledge of blockchain tech and DeFi. Their goal was to build a DeFi protocol that’s easy to use, safe, and cost-effective — and that’s how Balancer was born.
