We've all seen how well Chainlink has done recently, Oracles are going to be important in the not to distant future and Band is no different.
In fact, Band has many advantages over Chainlink, looking at the chart and recent partnerships it's clear, Band is growing rapidly yet still a tiny marketcap of 10m.
You've still got time to board the train, just.

Band are a data governance framework for Web3.0 applications. It operates as an open-source standard and framework for the decentralized management of data, designed to allow users to build and manage off-chain oracles, reputation scores, identity management systems, token issuances and token curated registries.


Both BAND and Chainlink work on the decentralized oracle. Here is the difference on how Band is different from Chainlink:

1) Band focus a lot security through economic (we have staking mechanism from day 1)Usage simplicity (getting data from band is just 1 function call, while on ChainLink you need to use asynchronous + callback function)

 2) speed (data is readily available  query for Band and can be processed within same transaction, not for ChainLink which requires at least 3 block confirmations).

3) Cost (if you query from 7 data providers in Chainlink, it will cost you over $7 whereas for Band right now the fee is $2 and we require much less gas to process.

4) scalability: because Band data is pushed on chain, the cost is fixed regardless of how many dApps use us whereas for Chainlink, it's on demand so if there are more dApps requiring same data, ChainLink has to perform that query again and again adding to the cost.

In addition, I believe this data layer space is huge and multiple protocols with different trade-offs can co-exist. The space is quite complementary actually, as dApps will likely request data from multiple oracles to make sure they do not rely on just one source of truth (hence single point of failure)



Take a look at the Chart for band, It looks very similar to when ChainLink was about to explode, I see no reason why Band is not about to do the same.
Band release new partnerships every day and here is just a few:

- Cosmos
- Kardiachain (Band will provide the data in Viatnamese Dong and crypto pricefeeds in Mobile Payments infrastructure for over 60 million customers
- Top South Korea based Validator we staking partners with Band Protocol

I could go on, over 14 partners.

AND one last major thing.. let's not forget they are the oracle provider for Binance - https://www.binance.com/en/blog/406006839228116992/Powering-DeFi-and-Crosschain-Interoperable-Decentralized-Applications-with-Binance-API-using-Band-Protocol

And what's coming.. Binance Chain.




Band protocol seriously has potential for a 100x and it is still under the radar!

Feel free to ask me any questions on there Telegram
t.me/bandprotocol (http://t.me/bandprotocol)

so I found the answer to the continuous BAND pump when the market was full of blood. It's really surprising to know that BAND is the oracle provider for Binance. I believe in the future both BNB and BAND will be one of the strongest growth alts. Technically speaking, it is actually a bit better than Link but the problem is that it does not have a large community like Link. That is why it has not been pumped as strongly as Link. I also hope that BAND is getting more and more attractive by what they have contributed to the crypto market and soon X100 during the bull run.

Too much oracle project this day. Chainlink, aeternity, and there were so many orcale project these days and what makes you feel if crosschain project has a very huge potential to growth? It sounds like you are over optimistic dude. I have seen some platforms that focused to create cross chain ecosystem already failed to achieve their target. Let say ark is one of them.

The partner of band called cosmos has already faced a very difficult time with its token price.

BAND is also partnered with Kava, Fantom, Wanchain and Tomochain to bring them oracle data.
BAND is using the Tendermint protocol which allows 1,000 tps, so BAND will have large capacity for providing oracles.
Partnered with 15+ validators including Cosmostation, Chorus One, Stake.fish, Figment Networks, StakeWithUs, Infstones, Forbole and WeStaking.

You may check the initial price of the atom token and the current price, issues? DyoR :)

Anyway, by fact, Band Protocol is so much undervalued compared to LINK so the upside potential, roi-wise is a no brainer.
I strongly believe that Band will do very well in the upcoming months, especially after their mainnet launch on cosmos with 15 industry-leading Staking providers.

Chainlink is bloody overvalued, for anyone not believing here, just check this: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/g2cswj/chainlink_is_the_most_overvalued_cryptocurrency/

On the contrary, the cryptospace is greatly underserved by oracles currently. LINK, BAND, Tellor and maybe one or two others are the only projects focused on the oracle use case. Smart contracts are a key use case of crypto, and there are many smart contract platforms, but they are of little use without oracles providing the link to the 'real' world outside their blockchains. The oracle space has enormous room to grow.

Band protocol has already risen by nearly 10 cents since posting this.. and these rises have been consistent for the past month.


Band is just getting started..  still cheap as!

What your saying is the reasons why this has so much potential. Oracles are so important within Blockchain technology.
And Band Protocol only has a small market cap compared to the others and with Bands tech extremely well put together.
This will only rise.
As we have seen the past few months.

I did some reaserch about BAND yesterday, and I'm in now, a few bucks in plus. Thx guys. By the way, nice buywall on binance.

Almost doubled your money already!
Theres room for more than just Chainlink in the Oracle space.


BAND is following.. quickly.

The OP here has nailed it! Did you anyone else jumped on?:-)

Nearly 4x Since Posting.  The path to 100x is still ongoing. Hope you guys took notice when I posted.

Woodstock Investment Fund partners with BandChain as a platform for testing in Oracle's decentralized network https://medium.com/bandprotocol/top-blockchain-investment-fund-woodstock-operates-validator-node-on-bandchain-45187b81d3e1

The band really has a great team and cutting edge technology idea. This is one of the interesting issues in this economic downturn. ChainLink also has quite similar technology to Band but even they are missing some points and the value of Link is now more than $ 1 billion. The band is now a small alts with modest capitalization, it seems x100 is only a matter of time in the future. Once the 19-year-old covid pandemic is under control, there will be more people who want to hold the Band in the long-term future. With the influence of the band now, I think the long-term possibility of x10 is quite easy, what do you think?

I am a risky investor and usually only choose alts with small capitalization but great potential. Now I want to introduce you to Band, a potential alts with state-of-the-art technology that people are talking a lot about these days. Band is currently an alts with modest capitalization ($ 19m) but has a very advanced technology platform. It is being compared to Chainlink because it runs on Decentralized oracle and also has a few points better than Chainlink. The difference in value is due to the larger community of Chainlink compared to Band. So if you think that when the economy is stable again, Band has the opportunity to expand the community, it can grow with a capitalization of over $ 100m? This is quite easy and this is an alts worth investing most now. Anyway, I still want to hear your opinion about Band, just discuss with me ;)

Its actually a good utility token with great start and good community backing I actually think it can reach 10X but it need community backing to get there Maybe some promortions and little bounties might help I think

Band is okay, if you're after a real decentralised oracle token then you need to be looking at Tellor (TRB).

Binance Exchange has released an announcement and added an isolated BAND trading pair for margin trading, such pairs BAND / BTC, BAND / USD will be added

https://www.binance.com/en/support/articles/282ee1b995864b37a359b463db60fa62

I have heard a lot about BAND, compared to CHAINLINK of course.
I didn't understand this thing about oracles very well and I don't find an understandable explanation around, could you explain to me what is the advantage of having oracles, what do they do and what are they for?

I am very sorry I did not buy the Band Protool (BAND) when the price was still low, now the Band Protool is pumped.
And I missed the opportunity to be able to make a profit, it was indeed difficult to find projects like Band Protool.
I will wait for the price of the Band Protool for correction, if it drops to $ 3, I will try to buy it.

very fortunate if someone buys a BAND at $ 0.25 in 2019, it is unexpected that a BAND can rise 700% so far, of course BAND is a gem, and their mission has been fulfilled because it has reached the All Time High this year, I do not recommend to buy, but I recommend investing when the price of BAND is cheap again

crypto.com just announced that they will be adding BAND protocol to their exchange but do note that BAND won't be available for the US residents.

You can read the announcement here (http://"https://blog.crypto.com/crypto-com-lists-band-protocol-band/") :)

July 2020 update that includes all technical developments of Band Protocol partnership integration https://medium.com/bandprotocol/band-protocol-july-2020-community-update-9f4d244f5ff9

Today BAND tokens hit a new ATH of $ 8 USD, I really don't think BAND tokens hit a price of $ 8 USD. congratulations to BAND token holders. And another good news is that the Token Band will soon be traded on the Coinbase exchange.

https://twitter.com/CoinbasePro/status/1291123511944151046

That's a big news and im feeling so good to see my portfolios is going to the moon right now. I think that we will break another record again. More good news will be coming for the community and the hype for BAND is real

Looks good and it has got the hype and fomo as well but with so much growth already i am confused about good entry now so probably i will just wait and see for now.

Chainlink Rival Band Protocol Surged 65% Overnight — 3 Reasons Why

Chainlink rival BAND, the native token of Band Protocol, has soared by 65% in one day after Coinbase announced its listing among other factors.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/chainlink-rival-band-protocol-surged-65-overnight-3-reasons-why

I've seen this scary growth of BAND, for now blockchains with oracles are going really strong and grow fast!
but is it a passing fire or something destined to last?
honestly i'm a bit more on studying particular stable (AMPL for example) but i'm very curious about this technology

Band Chain Testnet part 2, latest updates and a guide on how to become a network validator
https://medium.com/bandprotocol/bandchain-guanyu-testnet-2-update-how-to-join-as-a-validator-416dddb4fd48

that's right, after the hard pump, BAND tokens are still growing, maybe BAND tokens will pass the price of $ 10 USD in the near future like LINK tokens which recently passed $ 10 USD. the total supply of BAND tokens is less than the total supply of LINK tokens, is it possible that the price of BAND tokens will be higher than the price of LINK tokens?

I think BAND has those chances to increase, and maybe the price will pass $10 in a short time. We don't know because as long as bitcoin price still is like this, the altcoin and the token will be up and down following bitcoin price. BAND have less total supply than LINK tokens, so maybe that can make the price to increase higher. But we should wait for a while and see what will happen to the market.

Previously, Chainlink was a major player in Oracle Data because they still understand a little about its importance in this ecosystem and in the past few years I have seen one of these is Tellor but there is very little publication, one of the competitors who has taken over the main role in the domination of data providers, namely BAND, maybe if Tellor is ready even their marketing is very good not the 3rd possibility is Chainlink, BAND, Tellor

Basically the increase was not due to supply, I see that the increase in BAND is very significant because the public is aware that Chainlink's dominance in data providers will be taken over by BAND, even you may not have heard of one of the other competitors, namely Tellor in providing Oracle data

I've just seen it's growth now and it is huge, It is impressive actually for a coin like this, more than 1000% in a year, there must be a good team behind it who is working for the project greatly.  Investors should see it. Now this is what it looks like when you have a direct partnership with Defi platforms, you get an instant support from the DeFi believers. Thus the acceleration of DeFi application is going to a new technology. Just WOW.

we cannot tell but supporting it would continue its life in the market, be aware also this might be a short term, but as for what I see it, it will go to the moon.

   Thanks for the detailed review! I like how you explained Band Protocol and I will check more about this project! I have Link
and this amazing rise in the last weeks is great! If Band Protocol can follow Link I will be happy to invest in it!
   Both can be great long-term investments, because they are getting more popular with time!

pump and dump is usually done, we see how in the binance exchange, there are buying and selling transactions, you can see a bot that keeps the BAND price in the sleigh until now and has the potential to dump it to a price of $ 6, maybe it could be more

BAND Token is Now Available for Trading on Huobi Global

The BAND native token will be supported for trading on Huobi Global beginning August 10.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/band-token-is-now-available-for-trading-on-huobi-global

I see now why this coin pumping since yesterday oracle solution project are now in trend because of chainlink but sooner the project with this same idea will be crowded just like what happened to AMPL(Ampleforth) which was cloned by many project and only changed The rebase timing which is obviously a ponzi scheme. I hope for success of BAND protocol in the future. Maybe they can follow the path of chainlink.

If you look at the performance of BAND tokens from the start of opening trades until now, the increase is extraordinary,
even now it has managed to reach a new all time high. Even though it is a new project but has shown its quality as
a potential token, it turns out that one of the reasons for the BAND token pump is because listing on the Huobi Global
exchange. If you want to invest in BAND tokens, you can wait for a price correction, because if you buy now it is not
recommended. Because you can buy at peak prices.

no one knows how long it will last BAND pump ,Defi and oralce tokens boom.im one of the ordinary person who want to ride on the pump but don't want to lose own money.　so,i have put on OCO order at BINANCE beside seeking next 10x coin.

Poloniex Exchange Lists 25 DeFi Projects Including Band Protocol, BAND / USDT Trading Pair
https://medium.com/poloniex/band-protocol-is-now-available-on-poloniex-5b5748879aec

The way these both coins have performed especially in terms of value and price gain is more than impressive. I was aware of chainlink as a quality project but band protocol just came out of no where and just conquered the market but only time will tell if it was merely hype and fomo or the real use cases are what are driving the price of these coins.

Band announced the launch of the Proof-of-Authority main network, which has passed the code verification audit, the Least Authority, which has a high level of authority on verification of blockchain projects, acted as the auditor

https://medium.com/bandprotocol/bandchain-phase-1-proof-of-authority-mainnet-launch-b38a354abcc

I believe that currently chainlink has increased quite sharply and is very suitable as an alternative for investors to make lucrative investments. don't miss opportunities that might disappear from your sight

Yes, the link with coinmarketcap is likely to increase the profile of the coin significantly, and this in turn could well lead to an increase in price. It's interesting, we've had Coinbase Earn for a while, and now coinmarketcap is getting in, too. Of course there are as usual geographical limitations, in this case with no US involvement... but still, overall you'd imagine this campaign is a positive for both coinmarketcap and Band.

Currently almost all top exchanges are competing to list DeFi tokens on their exchanges, because currently DeFi tokens are in demand by the market and have a very high trading volume. of course they don't want to lose traders on their exchange.

We will see, whether BAND and LINK tokens will reach hundreds of dollars by the end of this year.

Do you have any bias or analysis to backup your speculated price? I'm just curious because $100 doesn't seem like a price people would be happy to pay for either LINK or BAND. Right now, sellers have been in charge since they both attained their most recent all time high. 2-3x from the current price is a more realistic price prediction. BAND has more potential since the marketcap is like 10x less compared to LINK.

Damn I wish I had stumbled upon this earlier. I was interested in Oracles but always thought the price was too high . I have been proven wrong with all the Oracle projects getting a super run now.

I find the article that talks about BAND / USDT very interesting where the price ranges from $ 11.5 to $ 20.62, in these moments of correction in the Bitcoin market, what action plan does the project have? Seeing the graph, the bears want to push the bullish effort of investors:

  may we now have some feature for investors to put their money in BAND to resist the bearish onslaught of Bitcoin? I have read many articles, and I think that the long awaited season of altcoins may begin, eth is taking a bullish turn, is it to be expected that the BAND of a bullish movement with more intensity? even stronger than this 15 and 16 of abril?

it looks like BAND does have the potential to go to 100x, for now ROI is still 10x from ATL, with pretty good liquidity,
BAND is also able to compete to be in the top 100, yes even though now BAND is still below the top 100 coinmarketcap,
but there is a big opportunity to reach the top 100 again in the future

🚀 Congratulations to our partners at @Mirror_Protocol on the Mainnet launch of Mirror V2! Band Protocol is delighted to help the $MIR team to secure $2B in TVL for 24 mAssets and now, expand collateral to $MIR, $LUNA, $ANC with $BAND price oracles.

https://t.co/LVsszHGhY6

👉 The Mirror team has partnered with the leading DeFi applications across blockchain networks to broaden the usage of mAssets. These partners include @PancakeSwap, @realmaskbook, @SetProtocol, @Wing_Finance, and more who are implicitly relying on the performance of $BAND.

🔐  With more projects integrating mAssets, Band Protocol has proven to be battle-tested, surviving a wide range of market conditions including Black Wednesday and continues to be the primary oracle for Mirror Protocol as they continue to rapidly accelerate development.

⛳️ Moving forward, Band Protocol is proud to continue our partnership with Mirror Protocol and relationship with their community to bring price exposure to real-world assets on-chain. We are currently working on the next set of use-cases and mAssets to be listed on Mirror V2!

The Band Protocol network of decentralized oracles was unable to upgrade the BandChain blockchain to the second phase. Data supply channels and partners were not affected, no funds were lost, the project team assured. https://medium.com/bandprotocol/bandchain-laozi-mainnet-upgrade-post-mortem-4755b00c580e

The price of the BAND token has corrected very deeply, how do you see this situation? buy it now or wait for the market to improve
Bitcoin is still in a period of consolidation and has not yet determined its direction, will continue its correction or go back up, not many traders have entered the market because of this situation.
