What is Band Protocol (BAND)?
Launched in 2017, Band Protocol (BAND) is focused on challenging Chainlink's (LINK) dominance in the segment of decentralized on-chain data oracles. It allows smart contracts to gather data through API integration in a permissionless manner.
Band Protocol (BAND) users can build customized oracle infrastructure utilizing onBandChain, a decentralized oracle network of validators built on top of a delegated proof of stake (dPoS) consensus.
BAND token is a nucleus of Band Protocol tokenomics. It allows its tokenholders to participate in providing data for the oracles as well as to vote in protocol governance. Thus, it acts as an economic incentive for users and guarantees a high level of manipulation resistance.
