What Is BSC Smart Chain?

BNB Smart Chain (previously called Binance Smart Chain) is an interactive blockchain that allows developers to create decentralized applications. Launched in 2020 as a parallel to Binance chain, the platform provides a cheaper and faster alternative to the Ethereum blockchain in smart contract functionality.

Binance Smart Chain provides a favorable blend of speed, low transaction fees, and EVM compatibility, similar to Ethereum, but with higher scalability due to its Proof of Stake consensus. It boasts a vibrant DeFi ecosystem, benefiting from Binance’s extensive user base, making it an attractive choice for developers and users seeking efficient decentralized applications and rapid transaction processing.
