BNB Chain chain
Overview
BNB Chain is the blockchain ecosystem linked to Binance, made up of BNB Smart Chain (the EVM-compatible smart contract chain), opBNB (an optimistic layer-2) and BNB Greenfield (decentralized storage). BNB Smart Chain launched on 1 September 2020 as Binance Smart Chain and uses Proof-of-Staked-Authority consensus, giving roughly three-second blocks and low transaction fees. Because it is EVM-compatible, Ethereum smart contracts and developer tooling work on it with minimal modification. BNB is the native asset used for fees and staking.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, BNB Chain connects to 171 tracked entities, most strongly to Pendle, Safe, BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL).
