What is BNB Chain?
BNB Chain is a high-performance blockchain ecosystem powered by Binance, one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges. Originally launched as Binance Smart Chain (BSC) in September 2020, BNB Chain has evolved into a dual-chain architecture, supporting both decentralized applications and asset transfers.

Why use 1inch on BNB Chain?
