Bancor

Building Infrastructure to Create, Manage, and Optimize Onchain Markets

Visit Bancor

Bancor is a DeFi ecosystem for onchain trading and liquidity that has been operating since 2017. It provides tools for creating, managing, and optimizing onchain markets, addressing the need for automated trading, cross-DEX arbitrage, and liquidity provision across multiple networks.

Its products include Carbon DeFi, which offers automated trading with orderbook-like features such as limit orders, range orders, concentrated liquidity, rotating linked orders, adjustable positions, custom spread and fee tiers, auto-compounding, advanced analytics, and an execution bot; Arb Fast Lane, arbitrage infrastructure designed to maintain price parity across major DEXs; a Strategy Simulator for backtesting against historical market data; and the Bancor AMM. The protocols run fully onchain and are governed by the Bancor DAO, composed of BNT token holders and delegates.

Bancor serves market makers, token projects, traders, liquidity providers, DEX builders, and liquidators, with support across networks including Ethereum, Sei, Celo, Base, Mantle, Berachain, Sonic, and others. Carbon DeFi makers do not pay trading or gas fees when orders are filled, though network gas fees apply when creating, managing, or deleting a strategy.
