Binance Blockchain, also known as Binance Chain, is the native blockchain of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, designed to provide a fast and decentralized trading platform for digital assets. It was launched by Binance in April 2019 and is built to support high-performance decentralized applications (dApps) and tokenized assets. The Binance Chain’s native cryptocurrency is Binance Coin (BNB), which was originally an ERC-20 token on Ethereum but transitioned to Binance Chain for better scalability and lower transaction fees.
Binance Chain operates using a consensus mechanism called Tendermint, a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) algorithm, ensuring fast transaction finality and high throughput. This makes the blockchain suitable for decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as Binance DEX, which allows users to trade directly from their wallets without needing a central authority.
The Binance Smart Chain (BSC), introduced later, complements Binance Chain by offering smart contract functionality and enabling developers to build decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. It supports Ethereum-compatible decentralized applications and assets, offering high-speed transactions and low fees, further enhancing Binance’s ecosystem and driving innovation in the blockchain space.
