Anchor Protocol pris 

ANC

Anchor Protocol was founded in March 2021 by Terraform Labs, a South Korean fintech company founded by Daniel Shin and Do Kwon. Terraform Labs is also behind the Terra layer-one blockchain that has taken the DeFi space by storm, rising by 17,000% in 2021.

Before launching Terraform Labs, Mr. Kwon was CEO of Anyfi, a startup providing decentralized wireless mesh networking solutions. Moreover, he previously worked as a software engineer for Microsoft and Apple. Mr. Shin co-founded and headed Ticket Monster, a major South Korean e-commerce platform. He also co-founded Fast Track Asia, a startup incubator that helps entrepreneurs build fully functional companies.

Terraform Labs is one of the biggest and most in-demand companies in the cryptocurrency space and has raised $150m from major crypto investors like Arrington XRP Capital, Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, and BlockTower Capital.

ANC is the protocol’s native governance token that can be staked to receive voting rights and influence Anchor's future. Its total supply is 1 billion, with a current circulating supply of 222 million. The ANC token is distributed as follows:

• Borrower incentives (40%)
• Investors (20%)
• Team (10%)
• Luna staking rewards (10%)
• Community fund (10%)
• ANC liquidity (5%)
• Airdrops (5%)

Anchor does not offer any information about vesting schedules. The ANC token reached an all-time high of over $8 shortly after its launch, but has significantly lost in value since. However, if UST supply continues to expand, ANC could potentially revisit its trading range between $3 and $4.

Anchor is built on the Terra blockchain, a layer-1 blockchain using a delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism based on Tendermint. LUNA token holders can either stake tokens themselves to secure the network or delegate their tokens to other validators.

Anchor has also been audited a total of three times by Cryptonics and Solidified and found to be secure. The protocol offers a Bug Bounty Program with rewards between $500 and $150,000.

The ANC token is available as a native CW-20 token on Terra and as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum.

ANC is available on Binance, OKX, Mandala Exchange, KuCoin, and Gate.io.
