About the network

What is BNB Chain?

BNB Chain is a high-throughput EVM Layer 1 secured by a proof-of-staked-authority validator set, delivering sub-second blocks and very low fees. It hosts one of the largest retail DeFi and GameFi ecosystems in crypto.

Fully EVM-compatible, BNB Chain runs the same contracts and tooling as Ethereum. Pinax operates full-archive BNB Chain infrastructure with the extended block model so you can stream live blocks or backfill the entire history from a single endpoint.
