Overview

Balancer is a decentralized exchange and automated market maker (AMM) protocol on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible chains. It allows users to create liquidity pools with up to eight tokens and arbitrary weighting. Balancer is used for swapping tokens, providing liquidity, and enabling programmable pool strategies through smart contracts.

Frequently asked questions

How do Balancer pools differ from a standard AMM?

They can contain up to eight tokens with arbitrary custom weights rather than an even two-token split, and they rebalance automatically as prices move.

What is BAL used for?

Protocol governance and pool incentives; governance participation uses veBAL, the vote-escrowed form of BAL.

What does 'programmable liquidity' mean here?

Balancer exposes its pool math as a configurable primitive other protocols can build on, rather than a single fixed swap product.
