Why the Change?
We're rebranding to Band to better reflect our commitment to being the most developer-friendly Oracle in crypto. As we prepare to launch Band v3, we want our name and image to align with our mission of connecting the real world's data to Web3 with absolute resilience.
Simplifying our name to "Band" embodies our focus on creating an open and transparent data Oracle for everyone. This change highlights our dedication to delivering free information flow between the real world and the digital ecosystem.
With Band v3, we're offering developers an incredibly easy-to-use Oracle solution. You can set up price feeds in less than 5 minutes and deploy Oracle contracts in 1 click under 5 minutes across all supported smart contract platforms. This is a significant leap from traditional Oracles, which require complex setups and lengthy communications.
Our rebranding reflects these advancements and our ongoing commitment to innovation and accessibility in the blockchain space.
Hello, "Band"
An open data oracle for everyone — Band delivers free information flow and connects the real world to Web3.
Our new branding focuses on simplicity, accessibility, and innovation. This rebranding will be visible across our social media channels and exchange platforms when Band v3 launches on the mainnet in early 2025. We believe this new identity captures the essence of what Band stands for and aligns with our future direction.
Brand Guidelines Now Available!
To help our community and partners align with our new identity, we've prepared a comprehensive Brand GuidelinesPDF. This document outlines our new visual elements, including logos, color palettes, typography, and usage guidelines.
