Balancer

About Balancer

Balancer (BAL) is a decentralized finance protocol built on Ethereum that functions as an automated market maker and liquidity platform. Unlike traditional AMMs, Balancer uses a Vault architecture that separates pool logic from core operations, enabling customizable pool types including Weighted Pools, Boosted Pools, and MEV-mitigating stableswaps. Developers can build permissionless liquidity solutions, while liquidity providers benefit from yield-bearing positions and reduced arbitrage losses. Balancer serves as foundational infrastructure within the broader DeFi ecosystem, supporting integrations with external pool types and acting as a flexible liquidity layer across decentralized exchanges.
