BNB stands for “Build and Build”. It powers the BNB Chain ecosystem and the BNB community. As one of the most popular utility tokens, not only can you trade BNB like any other cryptocurrency, you can also use BNB in a wide range of applications and use cases.

BNB uses an Auto-Burn system to reduce its total supply to 100,000,000 BNB. The BNB Auto-Burn mechanism adjusts the amount of BNB to be burned based on BNB’s price and the number of blocks generated on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) during the quarter. This offers greater transparency and predictability to the BNB community.

BNB additionally uses a real-time burning mechanism based on gas fees. A fixed ratio of the gas fee collected is burned in each block, with the ratio decided by BSC validators.

BNB burns will continue until a total of 100,000,000 BNB are removed, which represents 50% of the total BNB supply.
