What is Band Protocol (BAND) crypto?

Band Protocol (BAND) is a cross-chain oracle platform providing real-world data to on-chain apps. It connects APIs to smart contracts while facilitating data exchange between on-chain and off-chain.

The network provides verifiable real-world data to blockchains. On the other hand, developers can use the data, including sports, weather, numbers, price, etc., for decentralized applications.

In 2019, it launched the ERC-20 project on the Ethereum blockchain. And in June 2020, it transformed into a Cosmos Network with the launch of Band Protocol 2.0.

The validators use the protocol’s native token BAND as collateral for data requests. It is the main medium of exchange on BandChain. The token can be traded on exchanges like Binance, Coinbase Pro, OKEx, etc.
