Banana Index: Banana Benchmark for Food Carbon Footprint
The Banana Index whitepaper was written and released by the Banana Index core team in Q4 2025, against the backdrop of an increasingly complex digital asset market and growing information asymmetry. Its aim is to address users’ demand for transparent and trustworthy decentralized index products.
The theme of the Banana Index whitepaper is “Banana Index: Building a Decentralized, Programmable Digital Asset Index Protocol.” Its uniqueness lies in the introduction of an “on-chain index compilation algorithm” and a “decentralized governance model,” providing standardized risk exposure tools for the digital asset market and lowering the threshold for users to participate in complex investment strategies.
The original intention of Banana Index is to solve the problems of insufficient transparency, high centralization risk, and poor composability of traditional financial indices in the decentralized world. The core viewpoint presented in the whitepaper is: by aggregating on-chain data and enabling community-driven index management, it strikes a balance between decentralization, transparency, and scalability, thereby delivering reliable, dynamically adjustable digital asset index services.
