How Balancer And Gnosis Will Make Ethereum Trades More Cost Efficient

The past couple of years has seen decentralized finance (DeFi) maintain a meteoric rise. Such an impressive growth can only mean one thing—a rise in decentralized exchanges as well. With centralized exchanges proving a little complicated and problematic at times, the crypto space will agree that decentralized exchanges are the future of cryptocurrency trading on Layer 1 Ethereum. While these decentralized solutions are great and have caused a rise in DeFi activities, users have had to contend with paying miners higher transaction/gas fees. But these solutions don’t have to be expensive and....

The Balancer and Polygon partnership aims to lower gas fees for traders on the Ethereum blockchain. The adoption rate of a cryptocurrency is heavily dependent on its use cases in the real world.

The two protocols will collaborate on a joint platform that will combine the best features of each. Decentralized exchange Balancer and decentralized finance platform Gnosis have announced today a planned integration dubbed the Balancer-Gnosis-Protocol, a collaboration that will combine Balancer’s v2 pool mechanisms with Gnosis’s DEX aggregation and batch auctions designed to mitigate miner extractable value, or MEV. Balancer’s v2, which is currently live for developer testing, was announced in February and boasts a host of new features: All liquidity will be pooled into a single vault for....

Automated market makers, or AMMs, have become a staple of the rapidly growing DeFi industry. Balancer, a leading automated market maker, has launched version 2 of its protocol, promising faster speed, lower costs and improved liquidity. In addition to revamping the user interface, Balancer’s backend will provide more efficient routing for trades through “Protocol Vault.” The platform claims that this upgrade will reduce gas costs and produce better pricing mechanisms. Expected gas costs are said to be 40% lower in version 2 – a figure that jumps to 53% with internal balances. Balancer....

The new feature allows traders to tap into pools of assets that trade at similar price levels. Balancer claims to be the first automated market maker to offer stable pools. Balancer, a popular automated market maker for cryptocurrencies, has launched a new protocol feature designed to lower fees and improve the trading execution for like-kind waps.Stable pools “are designed specifically for assets that trade at a similar price,” wrote Fernando Martinelli, the co-founder and CEO of Balancer Labs.
