Distribution
BNB is the native utility token of the BNB Chain, which serves multiple functions including payment for transaction fees and smart contract deployments. It operates within a unified multi-chain architecture incorporating a smart contract platform, a Layer 2 scaling solution, and a decentralized data storage network. Launched in 2017 by the Binance platform, BNB initially distributed 50% of its 200 million token supply to the public, with significant allocations for the founding team and angel investors.
The network utilizes a Proof of Staked Authority consensus mechanism, relying on a group of 21 validators to verify transactions and produce blocks. Validators are elected daily based on staked BNB, ensuring security through fast finality and penalties for malicious behavior. Economic sustainability is maintained through a dual-burn strategy, which includes real-time fee destruction and quarterly buybacks. BNB's utility extends to participating in decentralized governance, allowing holders to vote on upgrades and economic adjustments.
Risk Report
Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
Track record score 77 out of 100. This score reflects a solid history with 8.8 years of operation. The project experienced one regulatory action, as indicated by a score of 75 in that category. There has been one historical incident, resulting in an incident score of 80. However, there is one additional concern noted, leading to a lower evaluation for agent red flags at 55.
Economic design score 100 out of 100. The project boasts a robust economic framework, with a hard cap of 200,000,000 tokens and 100% of the total supply currently circulating. This perfect score indicates a well-defined supply cap which further supports its economic stability.
Developer health score 39 out of 100. The health of the development team is indicated by several metrics, with 4,241 GitHub stars and 2,041 forks demonstrating some level of community engagement. However, there have been no commits in the past four weeks, which raises concerns about ongoing development efforts, contributing to the low score of 39.
Network security score 85 out of 100. This score highlights strong security fundamentals, underpinned by a market cap of approximately $86.6 billion and a chain age of 8.8 years. Although there is one historical incident on record, the overall network security remains robust, indicating a well-established and secure platform.
Social behavioral score 41 out of 100. The social metrics reveal some limitations, with social accounts verified but lacking comprehensive audience data. The project's social audience is rated at 25, indicating a lower engagement level. Sentiment is also mixed, with 38% positive and 62% negative mentions, alongside existing concerns related to regulatory actions and past incidents.
Adoption liquidity score 82 out of 100. Liquid adoption is favorable, evidenced by a substantial 24-hour trading volume of over $1.08 billion and extensive exposure through 63 centralized exchange listings, with 33 marked as green-trust. This strong liquidity rating indicates a healthy trading environment and market presence.
Investing in BNB carries inherent crypto risks due to regulatory scrutiny, a history of incidents, and low developer activity. Potential investors should carefully consider these factors, alongside the project's overall strengths, before making any financial decisions.
