# BNB Chain

> BNB Chain is a high-performance, community-driven blockchain ecosystem. It includes BNB Smart Chain (BSC), an EVM-compatible L1 with sub-second block times and Proof-of-Staked-Authority consensus; opBNB, an OP-Stack-based L2 supporting up to 5,000 TPS; and BNB Greenfield, a decentralized object-storage network with cross-chain programmability to BSC.

BSC produces blocks every 0.45s (post-Fermi hardfork), processes up to 5 trillion gas/day, and has achieved zero downtime throughout 2025. All Solidity/EVM contracts deploy on BSC without modification; average gas fees are ~$0.01. opBNB settles on BSC and targets sub-cent transaction fees for gaming, DeFi, and high-frequency use cases. BNB Greenfield provides S3-compatible decentralized storage with on-chain access control and cross-chain mirroring to BSC. The ecosystem has 700M+ unique addresses, 4M+ daily active users, and $14B+ stablecoin market cap on-chain.
