An ecosystem of decentralized, open-source DeFi protocols that foster onchain trading and liquidity.

Bancor promoted Carbon DeFi as the market-making venue for tokenized assets on Sei, saying makers there can set separate buy and sell prices and have orders fill only at those prices. The message responds to Sei's own post that tokenization on the network is accelerating, positioning Carbon as ready for new tokenized assets.
Carbon DeFi launched an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI agents create and manage onchain trading strategies programmatically, with Bancor amplifying the announcement. The server exposes 25 tools covering strategy creation, simulation, trading and position management, reads live protocol state rather than static docs, and works across Ethereum, Sei, Celo, COTI and TAC.
The launch is part of Carbon's push to make its automated trading strategies directly accessible to AI agents; a demo shows an agent calling MCP tools to prepare an unsigned strategy card.

Bancor highlighted a Carbon DeFi feature where trading fees earned are automatically added back into the strategy: no hooks, no keepers, no claiming, and no redepositing. The message positions fee auto-reinvestment as a native part of Carbon strategies rather than a separate step.

Bancor announced it is licensing the technology powering Carbon DeFi, letting teams launch an orderbook-style DEX without building exchange infrastructure themselves. Bancor describes Carbon as the only DEX to natively offer limit, range and recurring orders, plus auto-compounding concentrated liquidity, all onchain, and links to the licensing details. Carbon DeFi amplified the announcement on its own account.
Bancor deployed its Carbon protocol to the Ethereum mainnet, offering asymmetric liquidity with on-chain limit and range orders, MEV-resistant spot trading, and no reliance on oracles or keepers.
Citing 'hostile market conditions' and 'manipulative behavior,' Bancor temporarily paused its impermanent loss protection feature and stopped new deposits, a major governance-driven decision amid the 2022 market downturn.
Bancor released version 3, its 'ultimate automated DeFi liquidity solution,' featuring single-sided staking with no impermanent loss, auto-compounding, and dual rewards, launching with partners including Polygon, Synthetix, and Yearn.
Bancor v2.1 introduced single-sided liquidity provision and impermanent loss protection via an elastic BNT supply, a landmark upgrade that drove a large increase in protocol TVL.
Bancor deployed its second-generation AMM, introducing dynamic pool parameters aimed at single-token exposure and impermanent loss mitigation.
An attacker compromised a wallet used to upgrade smart contracts and stole roughly $13.5 million in cryptocurrency (initially reported as ~$23.5M), though Bancor froze the stolen BNT to limit the damage.
Bancor's Token Generation Event concluded after roughly three hours, raising about $153 million in ether — at the time the largest token sale in history.
Bancor published its whitepaper outlining an automated market maker protocol for smart-contract-based tokens, written by Eyal Hertzog, Guy Benartzi, Galia Benartzi, and Yudi Levi.
