Understanding Binance Coin (BNB)
Binance Coin (BNB) is the native cryptocurrency of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange platform. Since its launch in 2017, BNB has established itself as one of the most secure and steadily appreciating cryptocurrencies available today.
The BNB mainnet payment system enables consumers to pay for goods and services using this robust cryptocurrency. Originally created as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, BNB later migrated to its own dedicated blockchain - the Binance Chain. This transition enhanced its functionality while reducing transaction fees.
