What is Balancer (BAL)?
Balancer (BAL) is a multi-token automated market maker (AMM) that was launched in 2020. It allows users to create or add liquidity to customizable pools and earn trading fees. BAL, the native governance token, enables holders to vote on protocol changes and decisions.
Balancer’s unique feature is its support for multiple tokens in liquidity pools with varying proportions, unlike traditional AMMs. This flexibility allows for the creation of more complex financial products and encourages deep liquidity. Balancer aims to serve as a key infrastructure for DeFi, offering novel ways for asset management and decentralized trading, thus enhancing the efficiency and inclusivity of financial services on the blockchain.
