The right to deploy smart contracts that power Carbon DeFi’s advanced orderbook-like functionalities has just been licensed to multiple DeFi projects, marking a significant milestone for Bancor. The licensing model represents a significant step towards the long term sustainability of the protocol.

Bancor has always been at the forefront of DeFi innovation, beginning in 2017 with the invention of bonding curves, pool tokens, and the AMM — which still remain extensively used across the industry. Licensing the use of the smart contract code for Asymmetric Liquidity and Adjustable Bonding Curves reaffirms their commitment to driving the industry forward while remaining a leading innovator in DeFi.

Deployments are not under Bancor DAO management or control and will be announced independently by the licensed projects as they come online. There are active discussions underway with DeFi protocols to leverage the technology on Base, Arbitrum, Canto, Fantom, Mantle, and Scroll.

By licensing the code for its smart contract technology, Bancor accelerates the presence of its technology on Layer 2 solutions across the industry, giving access to- and benefits of automated recurring limit orders to an entirely untapped market.

Bancor’s Arb Fast Lane Protocol, which allows any user to perform arbitrage between network protocols and external onchain exchanges, will be deployed alongside these new protocols to ensure they undergo efficient arbitrage and order fulfillment. The Arb Fast Lane generates revenue with fifty percent of the arbitrage profits directed to Bancor Protocol with the remaining fifty percent going to the caller.
