BNB Chain is a blockchain ecosystem that grew out of Binance's earlier networks. Its best-known part for apps is BNB Smart Chain, which supports EVM-compatible smart contracts, meaning developers can reuse Ethereum code and users can connect with familiar wallets. Older explainers also describe a dual-chain design, in which the Beacon Chain handled governance and staking-related coordination while Smart Chain ran the contracts. The network has since added other components, such as opBNB and Greenfield, so check the official documentation for the current architecture.

The native token is BNB, which pays gas fees for transactions and is also used for staking. Fees are generally lower than on Ethereum mainnet, though they move with network demand, so check what your wallet shows before you confirm anything. Some of the tokenomics, including the BEP-95 burn mechanism, are described in guides from the search results, but we don't list token price or TVL for the chain here.

Our site tracks 1147 dApps on BNB Chain. Many entries are exchanges and cross-chain infrastructure, with Binance CEX, Bitget, Gate and LayerZero V2 among the largest by reported value. On the DeFi side, the chain is known for PancakeSwap AMM V3, the Venus Core Pool money market, and Lista Lending and Lista Liquid Staking from ListaDAO. Multichain protocols like Uniswap V3, Uniswap V4, Aave V3 and Morpho Blue also appear, along with Gauntlet for vault risk curation. Use the category on each listing to tell self-custody apps from centralized services.

Frequently asked questions

What is BNB Chain?

BNB Chain is a smart-contract network that grew out of Binance's earlier blockchains. Its main chain for apps, BNB Smart Chain, runs EVM-compatible smart contracts, so developers can reuse Ethereum tooling. Our site lists 1147 dApps on it.

Is BNB Chain compatible with Ethereum wallets and apps?

Yes. BNB Smart Chain is EVM-compatible, so wallets such as MetaMask can connect once the network is added, and Solidity contracts generally work with little change. Apps like Uniswap and PancakeSwap use the same contract model on this chain as on Ethereum.

What is BNB used for?

BNB is the native token and pays gas fees for transactions on the network. It is also used in staking, and the search results mention BEP-95 burns as part of how supply is managed. Check the official documentation for current details, since these mechanics can change.

How much do transactions cost on BNB Chain?

Fees are paid in BNB and are generally low compared with busy networks like Ethereum mainnet, but they vary with congestion and network settings. Look at the fee shown in your wallet before you confirm any transaction.

Which dApps are popular on BNB Chain?

Among the lending and DEX apps, the most prominent are PancakeSwap AMM V3, Venus Core Pool, Lista Lending and Lista Liquid Staking. Multichain apps like Uniswap and Aave V3 are also on our list. The page also shows exchange and bridge listings, so check each entry's category before assuming it is an onchain app.

Are all the apps listed here decentralized?

Not necessarily. Entries like Binance CEX, Bitget and Gate are centralized exchanges that support BNB Chain deposits but hold your funds in custody. DeFi apps such as Venus or PancakeSwap are non-custodial, though they still carry smart-contract and market risks. Read each listing's description to see which type it is.
