About Balancer V1
Balancer is a protocol for programmable liquidity.
Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.
Balancer V1 codebase lineage and protocol family
Balancer V1 is published as a versioned release inside the Balancer protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.
Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

BalancerProtocol Profile
Balancer V1 is a DEX — a decentralised exchange where users swap assets against on-chain liquidity pools rather than a central order book. It is deployed on Ethereum. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).
TVL Distribution by Chain
Supported Chains
Protocol Footprint
Balancer V1 is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Ethereum — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
