BNB Chain recently celebrated its 4th anniversary, marking four years of significant milestones and forward-looking initiatives. According to the BNB Chain Blog, the anniversary event, known as ‘BNB Day,’ highlighted the platform’s journey and future plans to further integrate blockchain technology into mainstream applications.

One BNB Strategy: Uniting the Ecosystem

This year saw the introduction of the “One BNB” strategy, a comprehensive initiative designed to integrate BNB Smart Chain (BSC), opBNB, and Greenfield into a unified multichain ecosystem. This strategy aims to enhance decentralized computing, storage, and scalability, enabling developers to build advanced, fully on-chain applications in sectors such as DeFi, gaming, and artificial intelligence.

The One BNB strategy is expected to unlock new possibilities for developers, making applications faster, more scalable, and more secure.

Supporting Developers and Startups

BNB Chain has consistently focused on empowering developers and startups. Key programs like the Most Valuable Builder (MVB), BNB Incubation Alliance (BIA), and various grant initiatives have been expanded to provide essential resources, mentorship, and funding for early-stage projects.

In 2024 alone, over US$7 million has been allocated to support projects building on BNB Chain through hackathons, incentives, and Launch-as-a-Service (LaaS) packages. These initiatives aim to help developers bring their ideas to life and scale them into successful real-world applications.

Community and Ecosystem Growth

The BNB Chain ecosystem is thriving, with approximately 800 live decentralized applications (Dapps) across sectors like DeFi, gaming, SocialFi, and AI. The community has grown significantly, boasting 1.2 million daily active users (DAUs) on BSC and 2.7 million DAUs on opBNB.

In the past year, the Total Value Locked (TVL) on BNB Chain surged by over 40%, reaching $4.82 billion by mid-2024. This growth reflects the ecosystem’s strength and the trust that developers and users place in the network.

Pushing the Boundaries of Performance and Security

BNB Chain continues to improve its performance and security to meet the demands of future Web3 applications. In 2024, opBNB achieved 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) and introduced gasless transactions to make it easier and cheaper for users to interact with decentralized applications.

The platform has also implemented stronger security measures, reducing the total amount of losses across the ecosystem by 87% year-over-year.

Looking to the Future

As BNB Chain celebrates its 4th anniversary, its commitment to the Web3 community remains unwavering. The One BNB strategy and continued support for developers and startups are set to drive the next wave of blockchain innovation, making decentralized applications more accessible and impactful.

BNB Chain is building the infrastructure to power the future of Web3, inviting the community to join in this journey to onboard the next billion users and shape a decentralized future for everyone.
