What is Balancer?

The Balancer protocol functions as a decentralized portfolio manager, liquidity provider, and price sensor that operates independently of custodians. Users have the ability to tailor the number of assets and their respective weights within a pool, which facilitates trades throughout the Balancer ecosystem to optimize price execution. Governed by smart contracts, the pools allow various trading strategies and logic to be implemented seamlessly. This infrastructure enables token exchanges to happen without the necessity of deposits, bids and asks, or order management, as every transaction is executed on-chain. Additionally, users can preview expected trade prices for two assets, taking into account current liquidity and possible slippage. Trades are routed through a Smart Order Router (SOR), which ensures that the best prices are found across all pools within the system. The front-end interfaces are open-source and will be available via IPFS, promoting seamless user interaction. In addition, users can trade any tokens without the need for whitelisting or prior approvals, enhancing accessibility. A Balancer Pool operates as an automated market maker with unique features that enable it to function as a self-balancing weighted portfolio and price sensor, accommodating up to eight tokens with customizable weights, all while being programmable through smart contract-controlled pools. This remarkable flexibility ensures that users can effectively adjust their trading strategies to align with their specific requirements, making it a versatile tool in the decentralized finance landscape.
