Band Protocol Gets Listed on Leading Indian Crypto Exchange WazirX, 58.53 BAND Tokens Up for Giveaway

WazirX Lists Band Protocol (BAND)

India’s premier crypto exchange WazirX announced on Wednesday that it had listed Band Protocol on the platform. The BAND token will be available for trade against USDT, starting at 5 pm IST on May 13. In the official tweet, WazirX also announced that it is giving away BAND tokens worth ₹1,500 to three lucky participants.

WazirX was recently acquired by blockchain giant and world’s largest crypto exchange Binance, and since then, it has ramped up operations by adding functionality and utility-based tokens. Commenting on the new listing, Nischal Shetty, CEO & Co-founder of WazirX said,

According to Band Protocol CEO, Soravis Srinwakoon, the listing “will bring Band Protocol into the view of over 400,000+ users who will increase the overall awareness and liquidity of BAND”. In the official post on Medium, WazirX informed that BAND token would be initially available for trading only in the USDT market, though the expansion in the future is definitely expected.

Also, the user will neither be able to deposit the BAND token from other wallets nor can they withdraw BAND from the WazirX wallet. However, these features will be made available in the near future.

Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that enables smart contract applications such as DeFi, prediction markets, and games to be built on-chain without relying on the single point of failure of a centralized oracle. In a Twitter thread announcing the new listing, Band Protocol stated that the move would infuse the network with much-needed liquidity, as the listing on WazirX gives it exposure to over 1.3 billion people.
