BNB Chain
BSCBNB Smart ChainBinance Smart Chain
EVM-compatible chain operated by Binance — large stablecoin float, smaller protocol-level diversity than Ethereum L2s.
BNB Chain (formerly Binance Smart Chain) hosts Venus, PancakeSwap, and a substantial USDT / FDUSD float. Validator set is small and Binance-affiliated, which factors into the StableLens chain-decentralisation score.
