BNB, originally known as Binance Coin, is a cryptocurrency that was launched in July 2017 by the Binance exchange, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency trading platforms. Initially, BNB was an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, but it later migrated to Binance’s own blockchain, Binance Chain, designed to facilitate faster and more efficient trading. BNB is utilized primarily to pay for transaction fees on the Binance exchange, but its use cases have expanded significantly over time, allowing it to function as a versatile asset in the growing cryptocurrency ecosystem.
BNB operates on the Binance ecosystem and utilizes a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The core functionalities of BNB can be categorized as follows:
