Bancor Burn Update Turns Protocol Into Ultimate BNT Buyer | Crypto Briefing
With the latest update to Bancor's new Vortex mechanism, DeFi's first AMM will begin burning part of the swap fees accrued on the protocol. While that number has been set to 5% of the entire swap fee revenue, governance could adjust the percentage up to 15%.
When users stake the platform's native token BNT on Bancor, they receive an equivalent amount of vBNT as a reward. This vBNT can then be used to vote on governance but must be returned if the user wishes to recover his BNT from the liquidity pools. Users can also choose to sell it against another cryptocurrency if they believe the gains made from that other cryptocurrency will be enough to buy back the vBNT sold and make a profit.
