Balancer Stable Pools AimS To Bring Lower Fees And Improved Value To Traders
Automated portfolio manager and trading platform, Balance Protocol thrilled to announce the launch of stable pools on Balancer V2. Following the recent launch of Element.fi pools, stable pools make Balancer Protocol the first Automated Market Maker with at least three different types of pools: weighted, Element, and now stable pools. This highly anticipated launch takes full advantage of the Vault architecture of Balancer V2 through the use of batch swaps and internal balances.
On Balancer, a trader can make trades that route through both pools at the same time with a very small increase in gas costs compared to a trade that routes through Curve and Uniswap for example. The magic of the Balancer V2 Vault is that these advantages continue to increase as more and more assets are supplied as liquidity which allows for more competitive trading opportunities.
Balancer Labs has created two initial stable pools for traders and LPs:
staBAL3-BTC — WBTC/renBTC/sBTC
staBAL3- USD — DAI/USDC/USDT
Stable pools provide many benefits for traders and Liquidity Providers. These pools are designed specifically for assets that trade at a similar price which vastly increases capital efficiency for like-kind swaps. Traders enjoy tighter spreads and lower slippage while liquidity providers earn a competitive yield with very little impermanent loss.
