Band Protocol uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) system where validators stake the native BAND token to process on-chain and off-chain data requests. DApps pay BAND for oracle queries, with validators aggregating and verifying results.
Launched on Ethereum in 2019, Band moved to BandChain in 2020 with the GuanYu mainnet, supporting Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC). BAND tokens are used for staking, query fees, and delegation. The protocol has expanded into DeFi and gaming, with Band V3 (2025) introducing sub-second data feeds and broader IBC compatibility.
Band Protocol connects smart contracts to external data through BandChain. DApps request real-time feeds via oracle scripts and pay in BAND. Validators retrieve and verify data from multiple sources, then deliver it across 36+ blockchains via IBC or bridges in seconds.
BandChain uses DPoS with Tendermint BFT consensus for scalability and security. BAND powers query fees, staking, and governance, with a capped supply partially allocated to an ecosystem fund. Token holders can delegate BAND to validators and earn rewards.
Band Protocol markets are centralized and decentralized exchanges where BAND tokens are traded. Key aspects include:
Oracles are vital to Band Protocol, enabling smart contracts and DApps to securely access real-world data. Their functions include:
Band Protocol integrates with the Cosmos ecosystem to deliver reliable oracle data to DApps across Cosmos-based and other blockchains. Key aspects include:
Band Protocol (BAND) powers a decentralized oracle network with key uses in the blockchain ecosystem:
Founded in 2017 by Soravis Srinawakoon, Paul Chonpimai, and Sorawit Suriyakarn, Band launched on Ethereum, later migrating to BandChain in 2020 after a $5.85M Binance IDO. The GuanYu mainnet enabled cross-chain oracle integration with Ethereum, Cosmos, and others.
Partnerships with Binance, Moonriver, and Nasdex expanded adoption. With Band V3 (2025), Band now delivers sub-second feeds and continues growing with integrations like the XRPL EVM Sidechain.
Band V3, launched on the mainnet in July 2025, is a major upgrade to the Band Protocol ecosystem, enhancing efficiency and security for decentralized data feeds. Key enhancements include:
The price chart for Band Protocol tracks its market movements over the last 24 hours and beyond. Key insights include:
BandChain is a Cosmos SDK-based blockchain optimized for processing oracle data and delivering verified information to smart contracts and DApps. Key features include:

Your security is important. Newton is committed to being a leader in compliance, security, and technical protocols.
