About BNB Chain

BNB Chain, previously known as Binance Smart Chain, represents an evolution in the blockchain ecosystem. It was introduced to underpin the global virtual ecosystem infrastructure through the concept of MetaFi. The name "BNB" stands for "Build and Build." This rebranding was not just a name change but also an effort to draw a connection to Binance's BNB token, which serves as the governance token for the chain. The BNB Chain is designed to be a sovereign smart contract blockchain that offers Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible programmability. This adaptability allows it to cater to a wide range of decentralized applications and projects.

The BNB Chain has been developed with a focus on consensus mechanisms, with the BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain validators operating on different types of consensus. One is based on a Tendermint-like consensus, while the other utilizes Proof of Stake Authority (PoSA).

Throughout its existence, BNB Chain has consistently advanced in the blockchain industry, prioritizing improvements in security, scalability, and decentralization. The launch of resources such as the Web3 security verification tool underscores their dedication to providing a secure and dependable platform for their community.
