Binance Coin is a cryptocurrency issued by the Binance exchange and traded under the symbol BNB. So what is the BNB token contract address on BSC and what crypto is BNB. Let’s find out by reading the article below.

What is the BNB token contract address on BSC?

The BNB (BNB) token tracker on Etherscan shows the token price at $289.8306 with a total supply of 16579517.055253348798759097 and contract address is 0xB8c77482e45F1F44dE1745F52C74426C631bDD52.

What crypto is BNB?

Binance Coin (BNB) is a cryptocurrency that can be used to trade and pay fees on the Binance cryptocurrency exchange. As of January 2018, Binance Exchange is the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, facilitating over 1.4 million transactions per second. Users of Binance Coin are rewarded with discounts on trading fees on Binance Exchange. BNB can also be exchanged or traded for other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.

Created in July 2017, Binance Coin initially worked on the Ethereum blockchain using ERC-20 tokens before it became the native currency of Binance’s own blockchain, Binance Chain.

How does Binance Coin work?

BNB is a cryptographic asset similar to other digital assets on the market, and its value rises and falls as people use and trade it. People can hold BNB in compatible wallets on cryptocurrency exchanges and send coins directly to others for payment or otherwise.

Someone might also wonder how to buy Binance Coin? People can buy BNB through various avenues, such as Binance’s own cryptocurrency exchange. As always, though, be sure to research and follow any applicable governing laws.

On a more technical level, Binance’s layer-1 blockchain was merged to form BNB Chain (previously Binance Smart Chain and Binance Chain).

When building the BNB chain, Binance tailored the blockchain for on-chain transactions to achieve optimal performance on this newly formed chain based on Binance DEX, Binance's decentralized exchange (DEX) . Additionally, BNB chain transactions are fueled by a blockchain gas token called BNB, which stands for "Build and Build" (formerly known as Binance Coin).

I hope this article will help you to learn what is the BNB token contract address and what crypto is BNB. BNB uses an auto-burn system to reduce its total supply to 100,000,000 BNB. The BNB automatic destruction mechanism adjusts the amount of BNB destroyed according to the price of BNB and the number of blocks generated by the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) within a quarter. This provides greater transparency and predictability to the BNB community.
