opBNB (BNB)

What is opBNB?​

opBNB is a Layer 2 scaling solution for BNB Smart Chain (BSC), built on the Optimism OP Stack. It brings faster, cheaper transactions by batching them off-chain and then posting them in bulk to BSC.

Here are 5 key points about opBNB:

Optimistic Rollups: Bundles many transactions together before submitting to BSC, reducing congestion and costs.

High throughput: Capable of handling up to 5,000 transactions per second, making it far more scalable than the BSC mainnet.

BNB for fees: BNB bridged from Smart Chain is used to pay gas fees on opBNB.

Seamless bridging: Users can deposit from BSC to opBNB using the official bridge via WalletConnect.

Built for Web3 apps: With higher throughput and lower costs, opBNB is well-suited for DeFi, NFTs, and gaming projects.
