About Blockchains

About BNB Chain

The BNB Chain, formerly known as Binance Smart Chain (BSC), is a blockchain platform introduced by the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Its native token, BNB, serves various roles within the ecosystem. BNB acts as the network's transaction fuel, similar to gas on Ethereum, and grants users governance rights to participate in on-chain decision-making. In September 2020, Binance introduced the BNB Smart Chain alongside the BNB Beacon Chain, extending BNB's functionality. The BNB Smart Chain supports smart contracts and staking, offering an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible infrastructure. This dual-chain design aims to provide a high-performance, cost-effective environment for the blockchain community, ensuring compatibility with existing Ethereum tools and dApps while improving scalability and user experience.

About Etherlink

Etherlink is an EVM-compatible, non-custodial Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollup technology. It enables seamless integration with existing Ethereum tools, including wallets and indexers, and facilitates asset transfers to and from other EVM-compatible chains. Built upon the secure foundation of Tezos layer 1, Etherlink delivers a fast, fair, and (nearly) free experience. This permissionless and censorship-resistant environment empowers developers to actively create and participate in the next generation of decentralized applications.
