Balancer V3 Introduces 100% Boosted Pools with Enhanced Efficiency

Thu 11th Jul 2024
Balancer has announced significant improvements to its Boosted Pools in version 3 (v3) of its protocol. The new iteration allows for 100% Boosted Pools, eliminating the need for Balancer Pool Token (BPT) nesting. This enhancement is made possible by the introduction of ERC20MultiToken and transient accounting in v3. To facilitate gas-efficient swaps, v3 introduces the concept of Buffers, which act as simple two-token liquidity pools. These Buffers are designed to handle most swaps through Boosted Pools with minimal liquidity, providing liquidity providers (LPs) with full exposure to yield-bearing assets while offering gas-efficient transactions. This development aims to improve capital efficiency and seamless operations within the Balancer ecosystem.
