Binance DEX Launches on BNB Chain, Invites Further Community Development

2019-04-23

Binance DEX (Decentralized Exchange) launches on its native blockchain, BNB Chain, to empower community growth and foster the industry’s long-term vision of peer-to-peer trading.

Binance, the leading global cryptocurrency exchange and ecosystem, joins the community in celebrating the launch of Binance DEX, a decentralized exchange running on the BNB . As part of Binance’s effort to push the industry forward, the Binance DEX development team invites projects to participate in and issue new tokens on the native blockchain.

“We believe decentralized exchanges bring new hope and new possibilities, offering a trustless and transparent financial system,” said CZ (Changpeng Zhao), CEO of Binance. “With no central custody of funds, Binance DEX offers far more control over your own assets. We hope this brings a new level of freedom to our community. We will work closely with projects and teams to grow the entire ecosystem.”

With the BNB Chain mainnet launch, BNB, the seventh largest cryptocurrency by market cap to date, has migrated from ERC-20 to BEP-2 to become the native asset on BNB Chain, where BNB is used to assist network transactions. Wallets initially supported on BNB Chain include Trust Wallet, Ledger, Enjin, Magnum Wallet, CoolWallet, Coinomi Wallet, Atomic Wallet, ZelCore Wallet, Infinito Wallet, Math Wallet, Ellipal Wallet, Guarda Wallet and Exodus. Users now have access to the BNB Chain Explorer, web wallet, public data nodes and APIs, and trading will begin at a later date.

The launch of Binance DEX follows a two-month testnet period, during which nearly 8.5 million transactions were made across a simulated trading competition, coding competition and bug bounty program, with several new updates and enhancements implemented. As a testament to the community-led nature of Binance DEX, many of the new features and open-source tools that have emerged on the mainnet are contributions made by the Binance community.
