About the network

Band Protocol

Band (formerly Band Protocol) is a cross-chain data layer that delivers verified real-world data, such as price feeds, to smart contracts and AI applications on many blockchains. BandChain validators also run its oracle, fetching and signing data on request. Band v3, live since July 2025, added faster blocks, continuous price feeds, data tunnels to other chains and threshold signing.

Band Protocol FAQ

Any BAND holder. There is no minimum delegation; keep a little BAND in your balance to cover transaction fees.

Yes. Delegation is non-custodial: your BAND stays under your own address, and BitNordic can never move or withdraw it.

Rewards accrue every block, roughly every 1.2 seconds, after BitNordic’s 5% commission. They stay claimable until you withdraw them in your wallet, and delegating them again is how you compound.

21 days. Unbonding BAND earns no rewards and can’t be moved until the period ends. Redelegating to another validator is instant, but those tokens can’t be redelegated again for 21 days.

Band validators also answer oracle requests, and 70% of block rewards go only to validators whose oracle is active. If a validator’s oracle goes inactive, it and its delegators lose most of their rewards until it is reactivated, so an operator that runs both well matters.

Slashing applies to delegated stake too: 5% for double signing and 0.01% for downtime, plus a short jail. Inflation stays high while less than 67% of BAND is staked, so unstaked BAND loses its share of supply over time.

BitNordic runs a BandChain validator and oracle with a 5% commission on monitored, redundant infrastructure, operated from Denmark by BitNordic ApS. We stake our own BAND alongside our delegators.
