Bunicorn is an automated market-maker (AMM) and decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) that was launched in July 2021 with a unique combination of flexible Balancer AMM-style pools for BEP-20 tokens and stablecoin AMM pools.
In addition to being a DEX, Bunicorn offers yield farming that issues vesting rewards as non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles. The project refers to itself as “an intense DeFi Game platform that elevates DeFi and blockchain gaming experience to the next level.”
## Who Are the Founders of Bunicorn?
Phuc Nguyen is the co-founder and CEO of Bunicorn. He was a winner of the Google Summer of Code Samsung Smart App Challenge and has served as the CTO of a CEX under Bitmex's portfolio.
The CTO, An Nguyen has experience as the lead engineer at DeNA, one of the top gaming giants in Japan. After that, he worked as the CTO of SotaTek, the leading blockchain hub in Vietnam.
Vincent Vu, the Bunicorn game designer, has over 11 years of designing experience in the gaming industry. He was involved in the development of Scopely in WWE Champions, worked with Vietnamese Noble Games, and created Impostor Solo Kill which had more than 30 million downloads within 3 months.
## What Makes Bunicorn Unique?
Bunicorn is more than just an NFT platform or blockchain game.
As a DEX, Bunicorn supports both flexible pools with up to 8 tokens of any weight and stable pools with super low slippage and high capital efficiency for stablecoins.
Bunicorn solves the problem of impermanent loss that plagues AMMs by using flexible AMM pools with a customizable number of assets and weights within a pool.
Like most decentralized AMMs, Bunicorn eliminates third-party or centralized oracle risks. However, things get better with their amplified pools. These pools allow the swapping of stablecoins with lower slippage and higher capital efficiency.

## How Is the Bunicorn Network Secured?
The community plays an important part in the governance of Bunicorn through liquidity mining. The governance token BUNI, is given as staking rewards to members of the Bunicorn Network who stake their tokens.
Staking can either be done using BUNI, via the first BUNI pool or BPT (Buni Pool Token). Individuals who provide liquidity to an AMM pool earn BPT instead of BUNI.
To prevent liquidity providers from dumping the token, Bunicorn has introduced a new liquidity mining model where farming rewards are wrapped up (VBUNI) into NFT collectibles. Users can either wait for a vesting period to use their NFTs to convert VBUNI into the actual BUNI tokens or auction them in well-known NFT marketplaces.
The project also successfully passed smart contract audits by Hacken.io, and it is secured by Certik and Immunefi.
