We are excited to announce REN and renBTC as Bancor V2 launch pools.
The two new Bancor V2 pools will allow both REN and renBTC holders to provide liquidity and earn a share of trading fees while maintaining 100% exposure to either token.
While existing automated market maker (AMM) solutions require liquidity providers to split their holdings into multiple reserve assets, Bancor’s V2 solution gives LPs the ability to:
- Maintain 100% exposure to the base token
- Mitigate impermanent loss
- Benefit from 20X liquidity amplification
The REN and renBTC pools will utilize Chainlink’s newly launched REN/ETH decentralized price feed as well as Chainlink’s existing BTC/ETH feed to achieve these novel features.
The REN and renBTC pools will be among the first pools to go live on Bancor V2.
Bancor V2 code is currently undergoing audits and stress-testing by Consensys Due Diligence and the 1inch.exchange team, and is expected to be deployed in July 2020.
At that point, REN and renBTC will be among the first pools to go live on the new system.
In preparation for launch, Bancor will be conducting an AMA in the REN Telegram Channel on Monday July 13 at 10:00 AM EST to answer any questions about the functionality of the pools and the process of providing liquidity. User guides on liquidity provision will be shared closer to the launch date.
We are thrilled with this collaboration, and look forward to having the Ren community participate in the early phases of Bancor V2.
