Binance chain
Overview
The blockchain infrastructure originally called Binance chain is now branded as BNB Chain, tied to the exchange Binance. Its smart-contract platform, BNB Smart Chain, went live on 1 September 2020 under the name Binance Smart Chain. It is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, enabling most Ethereum contracts and development tools to function without modification. The network operates on a Proof-of-Staked-Authority consensus mechanism with a restricted set of validators, achieving block times of roughly three seconds and low transaction costs. The broader BNB Chain ecosystem includes the opBNB layer-2 scaling solution and BNB Greenfield, a decentralized storage network. BNB serves as the native token across this ecosystem.
