BNB CHAIN
Witnessing explosive growth over the last year, BNB Chain — formerly Binance Smart Chain — has solidified its position as the third most popular DeFi ecosystem, with close to $12 billion in assets held in its most successful DeFi protocols.
BNB Chain is a combiniation of Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain, and now stands for "Build and Build," instead of Binance Coin.
Benefiting from extremely high throughput, low transaction fees, and fast transaction completion times, BNB Chain is widely considered to be a low-cost alternative to Ethereum, and there are now well over one thousand projects and tokens already deployed on the platform.
