BNB Chain is developing a Layer 1 blockchain compatible with Ethereum’s EVM that will operate alongside BNB Smart Chain without replacing it or creating a new cryptocurrency. BNB will be used across both networks for transaction fees, staking and governance, while a native bridge will allow the token to move between the two chains. The network produces a block every 200 milliseconds, with transaction preconfirmation in 20 milliseconds and finality in under one second. Its intended use cases include high-frequency trading, perpetual contracts, payments and artificial intelligence agents. A public test network is planned for the end of the year, ahead of a mainnet launch in early 2027, subject to schedule changes.
