1/ Band v3 is officially live on mainnet. This marks a major milestone in decentralized data feed infrastructure—engineered for speed, security, and true multichain delivery across Web3. Learn More: Here’s what you need to know. 👇

2/ Band v3 is a complete redesign of our data feed solution. It delivers secure, real-time data for smart contracts and AI agents by bridging Web2 APIs with Web3 applications at scale.

3/ With this upgrade, performance has leapt forward. Block Time is now 3x faster, dropping from ~6 seconds to just ~1 second. Symbol capacity has increased 10x, and daily throughput is up by 3x.

4/ Band v3 introduces three core innovations. The Signaling Hub enables decentralized voting to determine which token symbols are supported. The Concurrent Price Stream manages high-frequency pricing across thousands of assets. The Data Tunnel relays these feeds securely across multiple blockchains.

5/ The custom mempool design ensures that price data, validator reporting, and signature aggregation are never delayed by non-critical transactions. This architectural upgrade significantly enhances latency, throughput, and network reliability.

6/ Interoperability is built into the foundation. Data feeds now reach IBC and IBC-Hook-enabled chains. TSS-based routing is rolling out alongside validator migration. Cross-chain relays to chains that are powered by @routerprotocol.

7/ Top-tier validators are securing the Band v3 mainnet from day one. @CosmostationVD , @forbole , @polka_chu , @nansen_ai , @CitadelOne_ , @imperator_co , @binance Validator, @activenodes_io, @HashKeyCloud @HighStakes_CH and others are helping us push forward a fully decentralized oracle layer.

8/ More than 40 additional validators are already preparing to join. This will further strengthen the network’s decentralization and resiliency as we scale to support new chains and protocols.

10/ The launch of Band v3 is just the beginning. We’re committed to improving the developer experience, expanding access to free and open data feeds, and powering the next generation of decentralized infrastructure.

11/ Web3 is only one of many ecosystems to come. With Band v3 now live, we invite builders, protocols, and validators to help us shape the future of open and reliable on-chain data.
