" Meanwhile, development in the core offering is moving faster than ever. This update covers recent progress and upcoming plans, including:

  • Full Vortex: With phase one of the Vortex roll-out complete, the next step towards Full Vortex is the introduction of a flat protocol fee that uses swap fees to buy and burn vBNT. (Target: 1–2 weeks)
  • Gasless Voting: The vote to transition DAO operations to Snapshot was approved, with gasless voting expected to go live next week.
  • Shadow Tokens: A new pool design will allow for limitless stablecoin pools, with minimal impermanent loss.
  • Origin Pools: A collateralized token launch system to support DeFi gems on the Bancor Network is in the final design stages. Origin pools are designed to offer an IL-protected liquidity solution to new token projects without exposing the protocol to excessively high risk.
  • Fiat Ramp: Users can now exchange between Fiat currencies and ETH directly on the bancor.network web app, via the MoonPay payments infrastructure.
  • Limit Orders: Strategic integration with KeeperDAO will permit limit-order functionality to be introduced to Bancor AMMs.
  • Trader Incentives and UX: A trader-centric user experience is being developed for the explicit purpose of increasing Bancor’s volume share, and profitability for liquidity providers. The new UX will coincide with the launch of a limited trading incentives program to encourage the DeFi community to use Bancor’s new swap features.
  • New LM pools: ROOK, UNI, ALPHA, GRT, ENJ, MATIC were approved to each receive 12 weeks of BNT rewards. Collectively, the pools have attracted so far more than $170M in locked value.
  • L2 Arbitrum: Mainnet is fast approaching and Chainlink recently featured Bancor as a key DeFi app that will integrate Chainlink price feeds on Arbitrum to power new pool designs.
  • Rewards Re-staking: Over $161M in BNT rewards have been paid to LPs, with 78% of rewards ($126M) re-staked to the protocol by LPs, providing crucial capital to the protocol and allowing users to compound their yield.
  • BNTEE.shop : Bancor announced the grand opening of its apparel shop, with three t-shirts based on bonding curves. As of this writing, one BNTEE is worth over $7,000.
  • Listings : FTX, Coinbase New York, Crypto.com Staking, Blockfolio Trading
  • DeFi Rankings : Top 10 by TVL (DeFi Pulse), Top 5 by Fees (Cryptofees.info)"
