In fact, as of the publishing of this article, Binance is far and away the world\u2019s number one exchange, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/markets\/2022\/04\/25\/binance-extended-crypto-exchange-dominance-in-march\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">30% of spot volume market share as of March 2022<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Binance launched its own native utility token, the Binance Coin or BNB, in 2017. The coin and its underlying blockchain have evolved a lot since then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of 2022, BSC (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/support\/announcement\/854415cf3d214371a7b60cf01ead0918\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which stands for BNB Smart Chain<\/a>) extends well beyond the Binance Coin to a network upon which numerous crypto projects are built. Many tokens are now deployed on the BEP-20 protocol, similarly to how there are countless tokens deployed on Ethereum\u2019s ERC-20 protocol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some key aspects of the BNB Smart Chain are<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast to Bitcoin and Ethereum which are proof-of-work verification blockchains, BSC uses the proof-of-stake verification protocol. Proof-of-stake is more eco-friendly because it does not use energy-sapping crypto mining.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another feature of BSC is considerably lower gas fees and faster transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition BSC facilitates blockchain projects developing into multi-chain solutions, meaning that BSC-based tokens and NFTs can also reside on other blockchains like Ethereum, Polygon, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a proof-of-stake blockchain, BSC features rewarding token holders for \u201cstaking\u201d their tokens, since this serves to verify transactions in the proof-of-stake verification process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BSC is closely related to Enthereum, and thus functions smoothly with ETH. For example, although the default network of the top DeFi crypto wallet MetaMask is Ethereum, it is very easy to add the BNB Smart Chain to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As far as decentralized exchanges, the prominent platform supporting BSC is PancakeSwap, and there are many other both centralized and decentralized exchanges that support it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The BNB Smart Chain is versatile and user-friendly, with growing adoption, including with BSC-based NFTs, a growing number of BSC-based tokens, and a robust ecosystem. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][dssb_sharing_buttons icon_placement_tablet=&#8221;icon&#8221; icon_placement_phone=&#8221;icon&#8221; icon_placement_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][dssb_sharing_button _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dssb_sharing_button][dssb_sharing_button social_network=&#8221;twitter&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dssb_sharing_button][dssb_sharing_button social_network=&#8221;whatsapp&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dssb_sharing_button][dssb_sharing_button social_network=&#8221;telegram&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dssb_sharing_button][dssb_sharing_button social_network=&#8221;pinterest&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dssb_sharing_button][dssb_sharing_button social_network=&#8221;email&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dssb_sharing_button][dssb_sharing_button social_network=&#8221;copy&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dssb_sharing_button][dssb_sharing_button social_network=&#8221;print&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/dssb_sharing_button][\/dssb_sharing_buttons][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s Learn About BinanceBinance is relevant to the MetFi Community because it is the ecosystem upon which MetFi is built.
