Token Ecosystem 

Ethereum: BNB Smart Chain (BSC)

BSC is a parallel blockchain running parallel to the mainnet Binance Chain (BC), offering crypto-and-digital-asset exchange, investment and fundraising, digital asset research, and charity-related projects. It is deployed on the Ethereum blockchain with the ERC-20 standard. Its establishment aimed at retaining the high performance of the native DEX blockchain while also enabling the smart contract function.

BSC is notable for its high Ethreum compatibility, staking-based consensus and governance protocols which are more environmentally-friendly and community-flexible, and native cross-chain communication with the mainnet (BC) that is bi-directional, decentralized, and trustless.

BNB Coin

BNB is the native token of BSC that can be used to pay discounted transaction fees on Binance Exchange and enables its owners to participate in exclusive token sales. Launched in July 2017, there are a total of 200 million Binance tokens. At its first public sale, it was roughly distributed as below: 

• Founding team: 40% (80 million BNB)

• Angel investors: 10% (20 million BNB)
• Public sale: 50% (100 million BNB)

A specific and unique feature of BNB is its employment of the autobahn system. Ecah quarter, the auto-burn mechanism adjusts the amount of BNB to be burned based on the price and the number of blocks generated on BSC. This mechanisms will continue until 100 million (50%) of the tokens have been burned in order to ensure token scarcity. Certain lost BNB tokens can be reimbursed through the BNB Pioneer Program and users can check for their eligibility here. Additionally, BNB also burns a fixed ratio of collected gas fees in each block, as decided by BSC validators.
