\$BNB

#Binance made its debut in 2017 with an ICO that introduced and distributed BNB tokens. At the time, Binance Coin (as it was originally called) was built as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network. In 2019, Binance launched its own mainnet, Binance Chain (BC), and transitioned BNB to operate natively through a token swap from Ethereum to Binance Chain.

A year later, in 2020, Binance introduced Binance Smart Chain (BSC), a separate but compatible blockchain designed to run alongside Binance Chain.

By 2022, both Binance Chain and BSC were unified under a single ecosystem brand: BNB Chain. While the two blockchains still function independently with distinct purposes, they now exist under one umbrella name.
