What you should know
- BNB was created at its initial coin offering about three years ago before the Binance crypto exchange existed.
- It was originally designed as an ERC-20 token running on the Ethereum network, with a finite supply pegged at 200 million coins, and 100 million BNBs offered in the ICO.
- However, shortly after that, the ERC-20 BNB coins were exchanged with BEP2 BNB on a 1:1 ratio in April 2019 with the launch of the Binance Chain mainnet, and are now no longer hosted on the Ethereum network.
- BNB is primarily used for payments and can’t be mined. It’s a utility token to pay for fees on the Binance exchange and for participation in token sales on the Binance Launchpad.
