Our @Bancor profile is updated with the latest on the platform and its native $BNT token
Bancor is a unique decentralized exchange (DEX) that uses $BNT as the common price token to fulfill pair trades among users and liquidity pools for hundreds of Ethereum + EOS tokens.
Consensus & Emission:
$BNT supply is elastic with Bancor V2.1. The protocol matches liquidity pool token deposits with minted $BNT and burns $BNT when tokens are withdrawn. Users’ $BNT deposits replace minted $BNT to control inflation.
$BNT launched on 6/12/17 in the largest ICO at the time - $153M
The initial 79.3M $BNT supply was allocated to:
50% - ICO Participants
20% - Project team, contributors, investors
20% - Bancor budget
10% - community development
Token Type: ERC-20
Bancor was the first automated market maker (AMM) DEX on Ethereum. The protocol matches $BNT with all pooled tokens to create trading pairs. Users can stake $BNT or any token without unintended asset exposure.
How the Bancor DEX works:
Bancor integrates a series of smart contracts to exchange Ethereum and EOS tokens in liquidity pools. $BNT is minted and connected to each token at a constant ratio so prices reflect supply & demand.
How $BNT/vBNT staking works:
Users supply tokens to liquidity pools for automated trading. $BNT stakers receive $BNT trading fees (and re-stake them for vBNT and 1x leverage) but all users get full coverage against Impermanent Loss after 30 days of staking.
Bancor Governance:
The BancorDAO approves all protocol changes. Decisions are vetted among the community before vBNT holders vote on-chain to enact the improvements.

Float Protocol is a two token, partially collateralized non pegged stablecoin protocol.
FLOAT draws its value from its underlying basket of collateral (ETH), and is stabilized through auctions.
BANK backstops FLOAT, earns protocol profits, and governs the Float protocol.
1/
At the core of Float’s stability model is protocol controlled value (PCV) and dutch auctions.
Float protocol maintains a fund to stabilize the price of FLOAT called the “Basket” which holds a portfolio of cryptoassets - initially just ETH.
The Basket is owned by the protocol and is built up through FLOAT auctions.
FLOAT’s Target Price will start at an arbitrary number - initially $1.618 and will slowly adjust over time depending on the value of the basket relative to the value of the outstanding FLOAT.
