Band Price

Band Protocol (BAND) is a cryptocurrency and cross-chain data oracle platform. It aggregates and delivers real-world information to smart contracts, AI engines, and decentralized applications without central points of failure.

The protocol confronts a fundamental limitation of blockchain environments: their inability to natively fetch external data. By sourcing truth from multiple independent data providers, Band feeds price feeds, sports results, random numbers, and other APIs into on-chain logic. DeFi lending markets, prediction platforms, and AI-driven agents all depend on this infrastructure to function without manipulation.

Band Protocol operates on the Ethereum network. Its native token, BAND, exists as an ERC-20 asset while also extending to Binance Chain as BEP-20 and to the Fantom and Osmosis networks via bridged representations.

Validators within the Band ecosystem stake tokens to curate and verify data feeds. The network supports token standards across multiple virtual machines—ERC-20, BEP-20, and the Fantom token standard—reflecting deep interoperability. Band’s oracle design leverages a limited number of trusted data providers that must bond economically, creating a high-cost barrier against Sybil attacks.

The project gained early visibility through the Binance Launchpad, which accelerated its distribution and community bootstrapping. Its incubation received backing from venture portfolio arms like Sequoia Capital and YZi Labs, formerly Binance Labs. Band’s oracle infrastructure evolved through multiple iterations, with the whitepaper version 3.0.1 marking a mature phase of its data economy design.

Band Protocol aims to disintermediate data relay, stripping out centralized oracles that pose single points of manipulation. The network aspires to be the default connectivity fabric for machine-to-blockchain communication, linking trainable AI models with on-chain settlement. In a landscape where data integrity underpins billions in value, Band positions itself as a self-sovereign information layer.

Data providers stake BAND to join the oracle set and risk slashing for inaccuracies, creating cryptoeconomic security. Token holders vote on chain upgrades, fee structures, and data source whitelisting through governance modules. Users pay query fees in BAND to consume validated data streams, distributing that value among providers and stakers.

Validators stake BAND to secure the network and earn protocol emissions. Developers integrate Band’s price oracles into automated market makers to prevent oracle manipulation attacks. Delegating stake to reputable providers allows non-technical participants to share in data query revenues.

Band Protocol has a total supply of 175,342,510.02 BAND tokens. Currently, 174,178,596.25 are in circulation. With a market capitalization of $39,632,606.00, Band Protocol ranks #558 among all cryptocurrencies.
