Intro

Band Protocol (BAND) is a decentralized data oracle network built on the Ethereum blockchain that aims to connect smart contracts with real-world data. Launched in 2019, Band Protocol enables developers to securely and reliably access off-chain data without compromising the security and decentralization of their applications.

The protocol aims to provide a scalable, customizable, and secure Oracle solution for decentralized applications (dApps) across various industries, including finance, gaming, and supply chain management.

Band Protocol operates as a decentralized network of independent data providers called validators. These validators source, aggregate, and validate real-world data before making it available on-chain for smart contracts to access.

Developers can create custom data feeds on Band Protocol to suit their specific application requirements. This flexibility allows for a wide range of use cases, from fetching cryptocurrency prices to retrieving weather data and more.

Band Protocol employs a network of validators to ensure the security and reliability of the data provided to smart contracts. Validators are incentivized to provide accurate data through staking and slashing mechanisms, which penalize malicious behavior.

Band is the native cryptocurrency of the Band Protocol network and is used to pay for data requests, access premium data feeds, and participate in governance decisions. Additionally, validators are required to stake BAND tokens as collateral to participate in the network and earn rewards.
