About Blockchains
What is opBNB?
opBNB is an optimistic rollup network designed to enhance the scalability of the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). It aims to take the workload away from the mainnet and improve network performance. The opBNB network employs a unique approach to ensure transaction integrity and security. It leverages the main network (BSC) for final transaction validation on its execution layer, facilitated by a verifier mechanism, striving to achieve high throughput while maintaining security.
What is 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.
