BNB Smart Chain
The benefits of
BNB Smart Chain
BNB Smart Chain is an EVM-compatible blockchain powering DeFi, NFTs, GameFi and Metaverse projects since 2020. It supports existing Ethereum tooling and programming languages.
BNB Smart Chain combines DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) and PoA (Proof of Authority) for consensus, ensuring security, stability, and chain finality with 55 validators.
BNB Smart Chain can process a block every 3 seconds, and most transactions are confirmed within a few seconds, providing a fast and smooth user experience.
Comes with efficient native dual chain communication between BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain, allowing developers to create, trade, and circulate assets across both networks.
