Information about Binance Coin (BNB)
BNB is Binance Coin, a cryptocurrency issued and traded by the Binance exchange.
BNB launched through an initial coin offering in 2017, 11 days before the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Initially, BNB was issued as an ERC-20 token running on the Ethereum network, with a maximum total supply of 200 million coins and 100 million BNB offered during the ICO. However, the ERC-20 BNB coin was swapped for 1:1 BEP2 BNB in April 2019 with the official Binance Chain network launch and is no longer hosted on Ethereum.
BNB can be used as a payment method, a utility token to pay fees on the Binance exchange, and to participate in the token sale on the Binance Launchpad. BNB also powers Binance DEX (a decentralized exchange).
