One of South Korea’s most popular and well-funded blockchainblockchain projects is getting a boost in real-world data accessibility.
Band Protocol, the cross-chain data oracle platform announced today integration with ICON, a popular and well-funded South Korea-based blockchain project. Band Protocol will provide secure, real-time and cross-chain data to ICON users, while gaining access to tens of millions of dollars in daily transaction volume on the South Korea-focused blockchain network.
It’s another early sign of the growing push to take DeFiDeFi off EthereumEthereum, as the network struggles to keep up with surging demand.
Band Protocol provides secure data about real world prices and pricing activity on other chains through a network of decentralizeddecentralized validators. It was developed using the Cosmos SDK—a set of tools for building and connecting custom blockchains on the Cosmos network—and has the support of several prominent investment entities in the crypto space, notably Binance and VC firm Sequoia Capital. Band Protocol currently provides data on Binance Chain, Cosmos, and Ethereum.
ICON provides the ICONex wallet compatible with multiple cryptocurrencies as well as ICONick, a service allowing users to select a unique nickname to use to send and receive crypto more easily. ICON raised more than $40 million in a 2017 ICO, and has the support of Pantera Capital and South Korea based VC Hashed both prominent investors within the cryptocrypto ecosystem.

“The strategic partnership and integration with Band Protocol to the ICON Network will bring increased security and scalability to all the decentralized applications built on South Korea’s largest blockchain project. Band Protocol’s oracle will simultaneously strengthen the existing network and allow expansion to new real world uses,” said Min Kim, Founder of ICON Network.
ICON’s Band Protocol integration will unlock access to the accurate real world pricing data required to enable development of new DeFi applications, including tokentoken swap protocols like Kyber Network or Uniswap.
"Band Protocol’s integration with the ICON network will provide verified and reliable data to support the growing number of DeFi and decentralized applications in South Korea and the Asia-Pacific region,” Band Protocol CEO and co-founder Soravis Srinawakoon told Decrypt.
The battle to become the DeFi data oracle of choice is getting more intense. The cross chain data oracle Band Protocol 2.0 launched today on the Cosmos network, bringing real world data to smart contracts across the blockchain ecosystem. The upgraded protocol can process 50 transactions per second and will have the added benefit of avoiding network congestion on the Ethereum chain connected to major losses during the March crypto crash. With this update, Band is banking on an appetite in the wo...
Band Protocol was founded in 2017 and received nearly $11 million in seed investment across four funding rounds in 2019. The Band Protocol token, BAND, is up more than 1,500% year to date.
As the pricing oracle wars heat up, Band Protocol and Chainlink will race to see who can entice the most partners to their respective solutions. Either way, it’s users who stand to benefit, as the result could be eminently available on-chain data that keeps decentralized protocols honest about pricing information.

Digital assets may be firmly in the mainstream, with institutional involvement and a crypto-friendly president in the White House. But hackers and fraudsters are having a field day so far this year. Crypto users have lost over $1.7 billion to these groups—already 14% more than 2024’s total losses of $1.49 billion, according to blockchain security firm Immunefi. In the same period last year, losses totaled $420 million, the firm said. The report comes amid ongoing concerns about the vulnerabil...
Libre, a regulated real-world asset platform, and the TON Foundation have launched a $500 million tokenized fund on The Open Network, aiming to bring Telegram’s $2.4 billion in corporate debt onto the blockchain for the first time. Dubbed the Telegram Bond Fund, the product allows institutional and accredited investors to gain exposure to Telegram’s outstanding bonds directly through the TON blockchain, according to a statement shared with Decrypt. The fund will also participate in future Telegr...
Solana decentralized exchange Raydium has deployed its native token launchpad, which is designed to rival the popular Pump.fun. This comes almost a month after Pump.fun deployed its own decentralized exchange, cutting ties with Raydium in the process. LaunchLab by Raydium offers a more sophisticated token creation process, compared to Pump.fun’s simplistic approach. The new launchpad allows for deployers to toy with the token supply, how many tokens will be sold on the bonding curve, and how muc...
