Chain profile
BNB Smart Chain (BSC)
EVM-compatible chain with broad retail usage and BNB ecosystem liquidity.
Also available as JSON · Markdown
Resources
Best for
- BNB ecosystem applications
- EVM apps targeting lower transaction costs and retail distribution
Tradeoffs
- Security and decentralization assumptions differ from Ethereum and major L2s
Build on BNB Smart Chain (BSC)
Intents scoped to this chain, with per-chain stacks, exclusions, and risks.
- build a dApp on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) — biconomy, pyth, the-graph, safe, gelato
Chain readiness
Per-chain readiness ranks how well each protocol's support on BNB Smart Chain (BSC) is evidenced — a cited, addressed deployment outranks a protocol that only lists the chain.
