BNB Smart Chain

Based on Go Ethereum, run BNB Smart Chain nodes to deploy and interact with smart contracts on the mainnet or testnet.

Fault tolerance

BNB Smart Chain is a proof of staked authority consensus model secured by 21 validators.

Performance

As a proof-of-stake protocol, BNB Smart Chain is performing fast at about 3 seconds per block.

Industry use case

EVM-compatible smart contracts and a bridge for digital assets from the Ethereum network.
