About Bancor
Bancor is a decentralized trading protocol that pioneered the automated market-maker model now used across DeFi. It is best known for single-sided liquidity provision, where a provider can deposit just one asset instead of a balanced pair. BNT is the protocol's native token.
How Bancor Works
Pools price trades algorithmically rather than through an order book. Bancor's distinguishing feature is that liquidity can be supplied one-sided, with the protocol using BNT to fill the other half of the pool. Earlier versions also offered protection against impermanent loss, a mechanism that was suspended in 2022 under market stress.
The History of Bancor
Bancor launched in 2017 after one of the largest token sales of that year, and its white paper introduced the constant-function market maker design that later protocols built on. The project has gone through several major versions as it reworked its liquidity and risk model.
What BNT Is Used For
BNT is the asset the protocol uses to co-invest alongside single-sided depositors, making it central to how pools are formed. It also carries governance rights over protocol parameters and treasury decisions.

Why buy Bancor with YouHodler? +
YouHodler combines advanced security and encryption with a simple way to buy and sell BNT, fast crypto transactions, support for multiple fiat currencies, and a platform that works for newcomers and experienced traders alike.
Is Bancor a good investment? +
Bancor's technical contribution to automated market making is significant and its single-sided model remains distinctive. The suspension of impermanent-loss protection in 2022 damaged confidence and the protocol's share of trading volume is modest against larger venues. BNT is volatile and relatively thinly traded — research it before investing.
Can I buy Bancor today and sell it tomorrow? +
Yes. YouHodler supports selling as well as buying, so you can acquire BNT and later exchange it for fiat currencies such as USD or EUR. Transactions settle quickly, major fiat currencies are supported, and withdrawals go out by bank transfer.
Is it safe to buy Bancor? +
Buying BNT is generally safe on a reliable platform like YouHodler, which applies data encryption, identity verification and multi-layer account protection. The asset itself stays highly volatile, so prices can move sharply over short periods.
How do I convert Bancor to cash? +
Connect a bank account, debit card or credit card to your YouHodler profile, exchange your BNT for a fiat currency such as USD or EUR, then withdraw the balance straight to your bank.
