$BNB
BNB (formerly known as binance coin) is the native digital asset of BNB Chain, a blockchain ecosystem with a wide range of use cases. BNB is a utility token, in that it is used in many different functions of BNB chain, which consists of the blockchains BNB Smart Chain, BNB Greenfield and opBNB.
What Is BNB?
As a utility coin, BNB serves several purposes. More specifically, users can harness it to pay transaction fees at a reduced rate and interact with projects on the platform. They can also use it in governance, leveraging it to make decisions involving projects and protocols.
In addition, users can stake BNB, helping secure the network and earning rewards in the process. To take part, users are required to lock up their BNB, meaning they can’t sell or trade it for a certain time.
Further, users can harness BNB to benefit from airdrops, where they receive digital assets associated with new projects. To benefit from this, users can subscribe their BNB to Binance Simple Earn, which will allow them to receive airdropped tokens from several different mechanisms.
