The profile

Ecosystem of chains (BNB Smart Chain, opBNB and BNB Greenfield) that grew out of Binance Smart Chain and was renamed in February 2022. Roughly 650 millisecond finality and low fees have made it a distribution venue for tokenized funds: in July 2026 it became the largest network for Franklin Templeton's Benji platform, holding $1.5bn, or 61.71% of distributed assets, and displacing Stellar. Reporting notes the data does not separate new subscriptions from balances bridged between networks.
