Investment Risk

Baseline risk

All crypto-assets are risky, regardless of the type of token you hold. Here are some ‘baseline’ risks to be aware of before deciding to invest.

Investment risk: The performance of most crypto-assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto-assets.

Lack of protections: Crypto-assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto-asset investments.

Crypto-assets are complex: It may be difficult to understand the risks associated with a crypto-asset investment. Do your own research and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket: Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments such as crypto-assets.

Defi tokens

Decentralised Finance (or ‘DeFi’) tokens (e.g. , ) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology.

Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens.

Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralized manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets.

For example, the Perpetual Protocol (PERP) and Quickstop (QUICK) protocols may be accessible in jurisdictions where some or all the available activity may need to be regulated now or in the future. If a regulator deemed the activity to be in breach of regulation, this could seriously impact token value.

Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens.

Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or ‘oracles’. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols.

Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

About Band Protocol

Band is a cryptocurrency that describes itself as “a cross-chain data oracle platform that aggregates and connects real-world data and APIs to smart contracts.” Band allows blockchains to access data, such as stock prices and weather, that are available via API. Note: Coinbase only supports the Band token running on Ethereum (ERC-20).

Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that aims to connect real-world data and APIs to smart contracts. It intends to facilitate the exchange of information between on-chain and off-chain data sources, thereby unlocking a myriad of new use cases for developers. Band Protocol can incorporate any type of real-world data into decentralized application logic, including sports, weather, random numbers, price feed data, and more. The native token of the Band Protocol ecosystem, BAND, is used as collateral by validators involved in fulfilling data requests and as the main medium of exchange on BandChain.

Band Protocol operates by supplying reputable, verifiable real-world data to blockchains. It initially launched as an ERC-20 project on the Ethereum blockchain in September 2019, but transitioned to the Cosmos network with the release of Band Protocol 2.0. The new protocol is built on BandChain using the Cosmos SDK. Oracle nodes on BandChain not only relay data but are also involved in block production/validation, giving them a dual role. Band Protocol aims to leverage Cosmos' still in-development Inter Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol to achieve its cross-chain data transfer.

Band Protocol aims to unlock a range of new use cases for developers to explore. Developers can use any type of real-world data as part of their decentralized application logic, including sports, weather, random numbers, price feed data, and more. This flexibility allows for the creation of custom-made oracles using WebAssembly to connect smart contracts with traditional web APIs within minutes. Band Protocol's oracle design also allows anyone to start servicing data requests, offering smart contract integration.

Band Protocol was founded in 2017 by Soravis Srinawakoon, Paul Chonpimai, and Sorawit Suriyakarn. The platform is supported by major global investors, including Sequoia Capital, Dunamu & Partners, and Spartan Group. The Band Protocol LinkedIn page currently lists a total of 20 additional employees, most of whom are scattered throughout Asia, and include designers, developers, and engineers.
