Balancer v2 is an advanced decentralized exchange and automated portfolio manager. Trade, earn, and optimize with smart liquidity pools, dynamic fees, and full DeFi control.

What is Balancer?

Balancer is a decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated portfolio manager that allows users to trade tokens, provide liquidity, and earn yield — all powered by customizable and intelligent liquidity pools. It’s built on Ethereum and compatible Layer-2 networks and is one of the core infrastructures powering DeFi.

With the release of Balancer v2, the protocol introduced a new vault architecture that centralizes asset management for gas efficiency, flexibility, and composability — making Balancer one of the most powerful DeFi protocols available today.

🚀 What's New in Balancer v2?

🧠 Single Vault Architecture

All tokens are now held in a central vault, reducing gas costs and enabling cross-pool arbitrage without additional transfers. Smart contracts handle all logic while assets remain secure and isolated.

⚙️ Customizable Pools

Balancer v2 supports multiple pool types:

• Weighted Pools – Like Uniswap but with custom ratios (e.g., 80/20)
• Stable Pools – Ideal for stablecoins (low slippage)
• MetaStable Pools – For correlated but variable assets
• Managed Pools – Governance-controlled or algorithmic strategies

💵 Dynamic Fees

Balancer pools can use dynamic trading fees that adjust based on market conditions — optimizing LP returns and reducing impermanent loss.

📊 Integrated Portfolio Management

Balancer pools automatically rebalance based on price movement and trade volume — acting like a decentralized ETF while earning trading fees.
