$BNB # BNB: The fuel behind the Binance ecosystem
BNB (Binance Coin) is one of the most prominent cryptocurrencies in the Binance ecosystem, not only for its utility within the platform but also for its growing relevance in the development of decentralized projects and financial applications.
## What makes BNB special?
- **Technical foundation**: BNB operates on two main versions: BNB Beacon Chain (the original Binance chain) and BSC (Binance Smart Chain), which enables smart contracts and has facilitated a boom in DeFi, NFTs, and Web3.
- **Mass adoption**: BNB Chain is one of the most active chains in terms of dApp development, with thousands of projects being built on it.
- **Extended utility**: It is not only used to pay fees on Binance but also as a base asset for yield farming, staking, and governance across multiple protocols.
