What is BNB?

A core asset in a high performance blockchain network

BNB is the native crypto asset of BNB Chain, a public blockchain network originally developed by Binance. The network is designed for high throughput and supports smart contracts and decentralized applications used by millions of users worldwide.

BNB is required to pay transaction fees and execute smart contracts, making it a foundational asset for activity across decentralized finance, digital assets, and Web3 applications.

Why BNB?

BNB combines technical compatibility with real world adoption:

EVM compatible: BNB Chain is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, allowing developers to deploy existing Ethereum applications with minimal changes.

Proven scale: The network processes high volumes of transactions daily and supports a large, active application ecosystem.

Strong Binance connection: BNB was launched by Binance and continues to provide utility on the Binance platform, including trading fee discounts and access to selected services.

Usage based demand: Every transaction and smart contract interaction on BNB Chain requires BNB.

BNB: The asset behind execution and incentives

BNB functions as the gas asset of BNB Chain, meaning it is used to pay for computation and transaction execution on the network.

Execution layer: From simple transfers to complex decentralized applications, all on chain actions depend on BNB.

Aligned incentives: Developers, users, and applications rely on the same asset to operate and grow the network.

BNB’s role directly ties its utility to the level of activity across BNB Chain.

The vision behind BNB Chain

BNB Chain aims to become a foundational blockchain infrastructure for large scale decentralized applications. The network is designed to support high performance use cases, from financial applications and digital markets to consumer facing Web3 services.

By combining scalability, low transaction costs, and compatibility with widely used development tools, BNB Chain seeks to bridge the gap between early blockchain adoption and real world usage. The long term vision is to enable decentralized applications to operate at a global scale, with BNB at the center of network activity.
