How does BAND Protocol (BAND) work?

Band Protocol uses Oracle, allowing decentralized network applications that rely on high-frequency data to work together. BandChain, an independent blockchain for oracles, specifically helps in consolidating data from multiple sources, removing outliers, and then conditioning them into a manner that is easy to use across all other blockchains such as Ethereum.

It is used to pay for transaction fees on BandChain, this means that when there is an increase in BAND oracles, there will also be more transactions in fees, which in return rewards BAND users.
