What is BNB and Why Does It Matter?
BNB, short for Build and Build, is the native cryptocurrency of the Binance ecosystem, one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world. Originally launched as "Binance Coin" on Ethereum in 2017, BNB later migrated to Binance’s own blockchain—BNB Chain—powering transactions, smart contracts, and more.
BNB isn’t just a trading token. It fuels a vast ecosystem that includes DeFi platforms, NFTs, gaming apps, and decentralized exchanges. Users can use BNB to pay fees on Binance at a discount, participate in token sales, and stake for rewards.
As Web3 evolves, BNB continues to grow with it—supporting faster, cheaper transactions and enabling developers to build the future of blockchain.
