About BNB

What is Binance Coin (BNB)?

Binance Coin (BNB) is the native digital asset of the Binance ecosystem, including the exchange and the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The BNB coin was initially launched as a utility token for use in the Binance crypto exchange but then evolved into a more versatile cryptocurrency.

The BNB was originally launched as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. It then migrated into the BSC, the cryptocurrency exchange’s own blockchain network. In addition to letting users pay discounted trading fees on the platform, the Binance Coin can also be used to pay transaction fees on the Binance Smart Chain as well as a payment method for purchasing goods and services online.

As of April 2022, the BNB token is the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market cap after BTC, ETH and USDT. Its utility and value have increased with the Binance ecosystem’s rising adoption among dApps, especially in the DeFi space.

Binance offers a 25% discount on trading fees for spot trading and margin trading if users pay using the BNB token. Users of the platform also enjoy a 10% discount on futures trading fees when transacting using BNB coins.

You can learn more about Binance Coin (BNB) at our KuCoin Blog.

How Does BNB Work?

BNB is a unique cryptocurrency with several uses, across the Binance exchange, the Binance Chain and the BSC. The Binance Smart Chain differs from the Binance Chain in that it supports smart contracts and can run decentralized applications on it.

On the other hand, the Binance Chain offers an optimal experience for trading on-chain and for operating the Binance DEX. However, it has limited functionality in comparison with the newer and more capable BSC.

Users get to pay transaction fees on both the Binance Chain and the Binance Smart Chain using the BNB token. In addition to paying discounted trading fees on the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, BNB holders receive other benefits within the exchange.

Its use within the DeFi ecosystem lets users invest in stocks and ETFs using BNB. It can also be pledged as collateral for loans users wish to take out on DeFi applications.

History of Binance Coin

Binance Coin’s launch took place in July 2017 via an initial coin offering (ICO). At the time, Binance had designed BNB as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network.

Binance had earmarked 100 million BNB tokens for the public sale during the ICO. The company managed to successfully raise $15 million in capital from this round in the form of BTC and ETH.

The total supply of BNB was set at 200 million at the beginning. Of these, 40% was allocated to the founding team of Binance.

20 million BNB or 10% of this share was set aside for angel investors. The remaining 50%, 100 million BNB, was offered for the public ICO sale event.

In 2019, Binance launched its own blockchain, the Binance Chain (BC). BNB then migrated to become BC’s native token. Binance then allowed users to perform a token swap to exchange their ERC-20 BNB tokens for the BC-based BNB coins.

How Long Does it Take to Mine 1 Binance Coin?

Why Does Binance Burn BNB?

Binance has employed an Auto-Burn system to bring down the total supply of BNB from 200 million at the time of launch to 100 million. This mechanism automatically adjusts the number of BNB tokens to be burned at each cycle based on the BNB price and the number of blocks generated on BSC over a period of three months.

The process of burning or destroying tokens creates a deflationary effect in the market, reducing the circulating supply of Binance Coin and driving the BNB price and market cap higher, as a result. This in turn helps support the BNB value in the market.

In addition to the Auto-Burn, there is also a real-time burning mechanism in place. This depends on the gas fees on the Binance Smart Chain. BSC validators decide on the ratio of BNB collected as gas fees which get burned when each new block is added to the blockchain.
