How does Band Protocol work?

Band Protocol runs on the BandChain, a specially designed blockchain to efficiently and scalably manage decentralized oracles. This blockchain was built using Cosmos' Software Development Kit (SDK), which can be easily integrated with blockchains using the Cosmos SDK framework. Developers can use the SDK to quickly define data packets, set up custom oracles, and integrate data requests into their apps, without worrying about the underlying validation process.

The BandChain makes sure that off-chain data is collected and verified by validators through a network of oracles. After validation, the data is published on the blockchain and made available to smart contracts.

Here’s how the process roughly works:

  • Data request: Smart contracts on external blockchains (like Ethereum or BNB Chain) send a request for specific data through the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) or via custom bridges developed by Band Protocol. IBC is used within the Cosmos ecosystem, while custom bridges are used for non-Cosmos chains like Ethereum and BNB Chain, since IBC only works between Cosmos-compatible blockchains by default.
  • Data collection and aggregation: After receiving a request, BandChain selects validators to collect and process the data. They do this through pre-defined external APIs and data sources (like CoinGecko, Bloomberg, or sports feeds).
  • Validation via consensus: The selected validators gather and compare the data. Then the data is verified using a BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerant) consensus mechanism. Only if a sufficient number of validators agree on the accuracy of the data, is it published on BandChain. Validators are rewarded with BAND tokens for performing their tasks correctly.
  • Feedback to smart contracts: Once the data has been validated by the validators and published on-chain, it is made available to the original smart contract on the external blockchain through a bridge or IBC. This allows DeFi applications to use real-time price feeds, for example, without relying on centralized data servers.

Who are the founders of Band Protocol (BAND)?

Band Protocol was founded in 2017 by Soravis Srinawakoon (CEO), Paul Nattapatsiri (CPO), and Sorawit Suriyakarn (CTO). The team is based in Thailand and has a strong background in computer science, product development, and blockchain technology. The founders have previously worked at renowned companies such as Tripadvisor and Dropbox.

In 2019, the team raised over $3 million from venture capital firms. Additionally, they raised over $5 million through an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) to further develop the project. Later in 2019, during the launch of the BAND token, tokens were distributed to ICO participants. The BAND token was initially introduced as an ERC-20 token. During the major Band Protocol 2.0 upgrade, the network was later moved to Cosmos.
