Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, redesigned its blockchain networks today. Binance announced on Tuesday that Binance Chain<\/a> and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) would merge into one ecosystem called BNB Chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move also removes the company's name from its blockchain network, which has been criticized in the past for being more centralized than competitors such as Ethereum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance Chain and Binance Standard Chain are two different blockchains at the moment. Binance Chain is used to transact on Binance's decentralized exchange,<\/mark>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> whereas BSC is used to construct decentralized applications<\/a> and contains smart contract functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, effective today, the two will be rebranded as part of a single ecosystem, according to Binance. BNB will be made up of two chains: BNB Beacon Chain (formerly Binance Chain) and BNB Smart Chain, according to the exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“BNB has been on its own evolutionary journey towards greater innovation and decentralization, and BNB has transcended Binance in terms of its use cases,” Binance explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the BNB Chain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Binance, the new, unified blockchain will allow for more innovation<\/a>. The startup intends to turn the BNB chain into a hub for the trendiest crypto phenomena at the moment, such as NFTs, DeFi, and the metaverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Above all,” Binance stated, “BNB Chain is a community-driven, open-sourced, and decentralized environment.” “Its health depends on the support of its community of users, developers, validators, and delegators. It's time for the community to take a flight towards MetaFi now that BNB Chain has received important technological improvements.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance's umbrella word for all of the latest tech developments is “MetaFi,” which includes the metaverse, DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi, Web3, and NFTs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance's native currency, Binance Coin, or BNB, will be used to transact on the new BNB Chain. BNB is a very popular cryptocurrency: it is the world's fourth largest digital asset, with a market capitalization of $72 billion and a daily trading volume of $1.9 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
