What is Binance Coin?
Binance Coin was released in 2017 with an ICO 11 days before the Binance exchange's start with a limited offering of 200,000,000 tokens and 100,000,000 in the ICO. The tokens were originally on the ERC-20 standard in the Ethereum blockchain.
In 2019, after the blockchain creation, Binance Chain, ERC-20 coins were exchanged into BEP2 in a ratio of 1:1. Today, BNB tokens are no longer placed in the Ethereum network and are the source of support for the Binance exchange work.
Binance Coin tokens can be used as payment for fees and deposits in the Binance blockchain, online purchases, donations to charity, trading, etc. BNB is rarely used to pay for tangible goods and services. Still, it requires a Binance bank card, which is unavailable in some countries.
Binance Coin's Working Mechanism
BNB does not use smart contract support. In their place, there is a dedicated team in the Binance Chain network, owing to which there is high performance: immediate transactions and instant block creation.
Another distinctive feature is that mining BNB as PoW is impossible because of the existing BFT mechanism in the blockchain. As a replacement for miners, there are validators who check the blocks, earning on the blockchain's protection. This way, acquiring a coin is the only way to get it.
How to buy Binance Coin (BNB)?
