Description
BNB Chain, formerly known as Binance Smart Chain, is a blockchain network designed to support smart contract-based applications, emphasizing scalability, efficiency, and decentralization. It encourages the development of decentralized applications (DApps) across various sectors like decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and gaming. BNB Chain introduces a dual-chain architecture to facilitate rapid transactions and minimal fees, enabling users to create and exchange digital assets efficiently. The primary token of this ecosystem, BNB (initially Binance Coin, now stands for “Build and Build”), serves as the gas token for transactions, gas fees, and staking. BNB Chain comprises the BNB Beacon Chain for governance (staking, voting) and the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) for EVM-compatible operations and consensus layers. This community-driven, decentralized ecosystem focuses on MetaFi (metadata and DeFi) to power the virtual economy, highlighting its evolution towards greater innovation and decentralization beyond its origins with Binance.
