About Binance smart chain

The Binance Smart Chain, a new blockchain with a full-fledged ecosystem for developing high-performance decentralized applications, is here to change that. It was designed to be cross-chain interoperable, to ensure that users get the best of both worlds.

  • The cross-chain compatibility of Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain provides developers with numerous opportunities.
  • Binance, the world's largest centralized exchange, established both chains and has significant control over both, although to varying extents.
