Later, in 2022, it adopted the name &#8220;BNB Chain,&#8221; and its smart contract-enabled chain was renamed &#8220;BNB Smart Chain.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This process concluded in 2024 with the &#8220;Fusion&#8221; project, which migrated staking and governance functions to the smart chain and decommissioned the original &#8220;Beacon Chain.&#8221; It is important to highlight that BNB <a href=\"https:\/\/3psmartltd.com\/blog\/main-differences-between-stablecoins-and-cryptocurrencies\/\"><strong>is a cryptocurrency, not a stablecoin<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consensus_Proof_of_Staked_Authority\"><\/span>Consensus: Proof of Staked Authority<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The network operates using a mechanism known as Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA). This methodology combines validator selection\u2014based on the number of coins staked\u2014with validation by a limited set of authorized participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, the active set consists of 45 validators\u2014comprising 21 primary validators and 24 candidates\u2014who take turns producing blocks. Those who violate the rules\u2014whether by double-signing, voting maliciously, or remaining inactive\u2014forfeit a portion of their staked assets through a penalty mechanism. This limited number of validators is the technical reason for its speed, as a smaller group can coordinate more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/3psmartltd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/What-is-the-BNB-Chain-network-Key-features-of-BNB-Chain-BEP-20-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"What is the BNB Chain network?

For instance, a single contract written in Solidity can be deployed on either network with minimal changes, allowing many projects to exist on both platforms. This compatibility aligns it with the <a href=\"https:\/\/3psmartltd.com\/blog\/what-is-the-polygon-network-key-features-of-the-polygon-pol-network\/\"><strong>Polygon network<\/strong><\/a>, which also operates within the Ethereum execution environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, BEP-20 includes a mandatory function to identify the contract owner and explicitly declare the number of decimal places. Any entity should note that a BEP-20 token and its Ethereum equivalent are not interchangeable without a bridge. Therefore, before initiating a transfer, confirm with the recipient which network they expect to use, as sending assets on the wrong chain is the most common cause of lost funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Block_processing_times_and_finality\"><\/span>Block processing times and finality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The network has reduced its block processing time through three successive stages. It initially produced one block every three seconds; the &#8220;Lorentz&#8221; upgrade reduced this to 1.5 seconds, and the &#8220;Maxwell&#8221; upgrade\u2014active on the mainnet since June 30, 2025\u2014brought it down to 0.75 seconds. The most recent reduction came with the &#8220;Fermi&#8221; upgrade, which took effect on January 14, 2026, setting the interval at 0.45 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transaction_costs\"><\/span>Transaction costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Network fees are paid in BNB and typically amount to only a few cents (USD). For a token transfer, the typical cost ranges from one to five cents\u2014a stark contrast to the several dollars that the same transaction might cost on Ethereum, depending on current network congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This difference directly affects a company\u2019s operations: network costs are no longer a deciding factor in whether to bundle payments or send them individually. In this context, cost savings depend on two separate choices\u2014the currency and the blockchain\u2014so understanding the differences between <a href=\"https:\/\/3psmartltd.com\/blog\/main-differences-between-usdt-and-usdc\/\"><strong>USDT and USDC<\/strong><\/a> is as important as selecting the right network. Furthermore, companies making payments via this network must maintain a small BNB balance to cover transaction fees, even if the payment is made in digital dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BEP-20_Stablecoins_and_B2B_Payments\"><\/span>BEP-20 Stablecoins and B2B Payments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both USDT and USDC circulate on the BNB Smart Chain under the BEP-20 standard, making the network a popular choice for settling commercial transactions in digital dollars. With block times under half a second and transaction fees of only a few cents, it is well-suited for high-volume payment scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This profile is especially advantageous for companies that process many invoices in a single day. Because the cost per transaction is so low, it becomes a viable option for <a href=\"https:\/\/trade-venezuela.3psmartltd.com\/pagos-b2b\/automatizacion\/\"><strong>bulk payments for business<\/strong><\/a>, without the cumulative cost of commissions affecting the monthly bottom line\u2014something that happens on congested networks, where every transaction increases total expense. For this reason, the BNB Chain has become a go-to option for companies that frequently move stablecoins and need predictability in both timing and costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>\u200bWhat are your thoughts on this?
