Bancor V2

Presently in beta state, Bancor V2 has 2 pools live, REN and LINK, both with a temporary liquidity cap of $1 million. Presently, both pools have limited supply and are going through stress testing. The early results for the pools are quite promising since these offer competitive prices and lowest slippage in the DEX market while utilizing very less liquidity.

There are plans to scale Bancor V2 and feedback is being provided by ParaFi about the AMM model as well as usability of Bancor V2 for both institutional and retail users.

Liquidity Mining

ParaFi has excellent expertise in DeFi and as such, they will participate in designing as well as voting on BNT liquidity mining’s model. In this model, users get the chance to earn BNT in return for giving liquidity to pools of Bancor. This liquidity mining is going to be among the very first of BIPs (Bancor Improvement Proposals) that BancorDAO will vote upon.
