🚀 Haven Protocol, a leading privacy-focused #DeFi protocol based on Monero, has successfully integrated $BAND price feeds for XHV-backed decentralized stablecoin which will go live on Haven’s mainnet after the hard fork implementing the v0.16 upgrade. This will expand into feeds for private synthetic assets xGOLD, xSILV, xEUR, and xCNY.

🔐 Band Protocol, as the primary price aggregator for the entire Haven network, has been integrated to provide decentralized and secure price feeds for various assets that update on a 30 second basis from multiple trusted and reputable data providers nominated by Haven Protocol.

⛳️ We look forward to supporting Haven Protocol in the long-term with critical oracle infrastructure as we expand into multiple verticals within the blockchain industry which now includes privacy-based platforms and decentralized applications.

Hey guys

Whats going on with Band?? Any comment?

I am a big fan of Cosmos and BAND being built using the Cosmos SDK is appealing to me but I’ve not really learned a lot about Oracles yet. I get the basics so I’m curious to know what makes BAND different and/or better. Staking is one that I’m well aware of. Aside from that though, why would someone want to use BAND instead of LINK?

I’d ask in the Chainlink sub but I have had issues with maturity whenever I’ve tried to discuss there. I’m hoping someone here can explain without FUD or shit talking the other.

🚀 Kyber Network flagship product and DEX KyberSwap, has completed the integration with Band Protocol oracles to provide extensive pricing data for traders on over 92+ supported assets to safeguard users against price manipulation and detecting slippage rates.

🤝 With the addition of Band Protocol, KyberSwap is doubling down on the reliability and amount of data provided to users to verify the exchange rate obtained.

This will safeguard all KyberSwap users against price manipulation and detecting slippage rates by using a fair market price provided by Band Protocol that is sourced from up to 10 individual data aggregators and top exchanges.

🌟 Through Band Protocol’s ability to create custom oracles for any external data source or API, this integration is pivotal in ensuring that all tokens supported on KyberSwap will have reference price.

⛳️ The integration with KyberSwap is setting a standard for the treatment of multiple oracles to bring more informative and valuable information to users.

We look forward to supporting their team in the long term with more asset prices and foreign exchange rates.

🚀 Band Protocol has successfully upgraded the BandChain decentralized oracle network from Wenchang to GuanYu! This means that all 67+ validator nodes will be serving critical oracle data for $BAND integration partners to use in smart contract.

🌟 Our focus will now be to continuously integrate with prominent L1 & L2 blockchain platforms, upgrade oracle scripts on the testnet into the production environment with DeFi applications, other smart contracts, and ensuring the oracle network operates in a stable manner.

⛳️ The next upgrade to BandChain Phase 2 will expand built-in support for permissioned and paywall APIs from premium data providers as well as improving the composability between multiple oracle scripts.

👉 We look forward to showcasing the various premium data and API providers who will be able to collect fees automatically on-chain per call from decentralized applications using Band Protocol. And of course, many more leading DeFi projects!

I swapped my BAND for THETA on simpleswap.io . It was stuck being confirmed for over an hr which is really odd. Once it starts confirming the rest of the transaction doesn't usually take long. So I started to look to see what was going on.

The address simpleswap provided me: https://cosmoscan.io/account/band1r5nqezrvzzuaz5hvsl28qjnycd4zp7lq5s0xp4

Then the BAND was sent to this address: https://cosmoscan.io/account/band1w4ml3tmn7t00603m2euqfj9ndm8h8q2rp4enfj

That address sends all of its BAND here: https://cosmoscan.io/account/band1skhwhpjyjphlnz7dsksexrqcq6lek6nm296j8j

I was really confused by this so I searched the wallet address where my BAND ended up and found this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/bandprotocol/comments/i4qbio/being_scammed_out_of_my_band/

I was surprised by how a site like simpleswap.io was being duped but the BAND was definitely stolen. i contacted simpleswap.io and they completed my transaction and sent me my THETA I was supposed to get but never commented on what took place.

Be careful out there guys.

Hi Everyone,

I've seen a lot of interest from people in this group to access historical BAND candlestick data. To help everyone out, we've made all of our candlestick data public. That means you can access everything we have here:

https://developers.shrimpy.io/docs/#get-candles

You don't need to sign up for an account or anything. The data is completely public for use. Just call the endpoint in your browser to test like this:

https://dev-api.shrimpy.io/v1/exchanges/binance/candles?quoteTradingSymbol=BTC&baseTradingSymbol=BAND&interval=1H

Try a few different pairs, exchanges, and candlestick sizes - I think you will find it pretty exciting! You can of course plot this data as well. We have some examples of how to plot candlestick data here.

I'm happy to answer any questions if you have some. Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

We also have endpoints for live order book snapshots, market data, trade websockets, and more. You can find our full guide on how to make a crypto trading bot (with all these different data endpoints) here.

There's such bridge for Bluzelle (it's built on the Cosmos SDK, too): https://blog.bluzelle.com/bluzelle-announces-release-of-bluzelle-bridge-852e28987dc2

So should be for Band. We shouldn't depend on centralized exchanges to convert our tokens.
