What is BNB?
Binance was launched in July 2017 and is the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world by daily trading volume. It has launched a whole ecosystem of functionality for its users. The idea behind Binance is to showcase this new paradigm in global finance - binary finance, or Binance.
Changpeng Zhao officially launched Binance in 2017, and he has been the CEO of the company ever since. He Yi is co-founder and chief marketing officer of Binance. Joining forces with Changpeng Zhao, together they created the largest crypto exchange in the world.
How does it work?
BNB originally started out as a traditional ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. Later, the company implemented its own blockchain, and tokens began to be issued from the Binance blockchain, protected by the Tendermint byzantine-fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus mechanism. Unlike PoS, the Binance blockchain does not support smart contracts.
Binance is a unique ecosystem of decentralized blockchain-based networks. One of Binance's biggest competitive advantages is its commitment to growth. Having started only as a crypto exchange, today Binance has expanded its services into many different areas. Since the launch of BNB, the exchange has also benefited from increased investor interest in the coin. And BEP-95 has improved the already deflationary tokenomics, making BNB even more deflationary, after which the Binance Smart Chain fees have become even lower. Users are returning to Binance because of its low fees and the abundance of lucrative coin memes in its ecosystem.
In the crypto industry, coin burn is a deflationary mechanism used to permanently remove coins from circulation. BNB uses two coin flaring mechanisms: burning a portion of the tokens spent on transaction fees in the BNB chain, and quarterly BNB flaring events. The number of tokens burned is calculated using a formula based on the total number of blocks produced in the Binance smart chain and the average dollar price of BNB per quarter.
