Balancer is a decentralized automated market maker (AMM) protocol for programmable liquidity, supporting various swap curves and pool types. Governance begins with a Request for Comment on the Balancer forum, progresses to a formal proposal, and is voted on via Snapshot. Voting power comes from holding BAL tokens or delegated voting power, with a quorum of 2 million veBAL needed. BAL tokenomics include a 100 million token cap and the vote-escrowed BAL system, encouraging long-term holding. Balancer has raised $32.3 million across three funding rounds, with the latest on May 27, 2021.
