Bancor V3

Now Bancor is going to launch the 3.0 version, and the main improvements are listed below.

• Omnipool: a single pool to stake your BNT and earn yield from the entire network.
• Infinity Pools: there are no longer deposit limits on Bancor liquidity pools.
• Bancor V3 will offer full Impermanent Loss Protection from day one rather than staking tokens in a pool for 100 days or more.
• Users' trading fees and rewards will be automatically re-added to the pool, namely auto-compound.
• In Bancor V3, token projects can now offer rewards on their pools, so depositors can earn more rewards.
• Magnify BancorDAO's governance power. Source
