Over the past five years, BNB Chain has experienced explosive growth, transforming from a single blockchain to a dynamic global ecosystem that supports millions of users every day as they build, trade, and create. The past year marked an unprecedented acceleration in progress, propelling BNB Chain towards the next era of Web3 development. 2024–2025: Key Milestones
Key highlights include:
– A surge in daily active users, with over 4.7 million users recorded on BNB Chain, averaging 1.12 million for BSC and reaching new highs for opBNB.
– Significant speed improvements thanks to the Maxwell and Lorentz hard forks, which reduced block times to a fraction of a second (0.75 seconds) and lowered gas fees as low as $0.001.
– Security enhancements saw significant progress, with the BNB Goodwill Alliance cutting sandwich attacks by 95%, leading to an 87% decrease in exploit losses on BSC.
Beyond these milestones, BNB Chain experienced a surge in liquidity:
– DEX trading volume reached record highs at $319.4B, the highest across all chains.
– Stablecoin adoption skyrocketed to $11B market cap and users saved up to $5M through the 0 Fee Stablecoin Carnival, cementing BNB Chain as the leading blockchain for stablecoins and active users.
The ecosystem expanded further:
– TVL peaked at $14B, with unique BSC addresses exceeding 615 million.
– Over 5,000 projects are actively building on BNB Chain, driving innovation across diverse sectors. Real-world asset adoption also accelerated through partnerships such as Securitize and VanEck’s vBILL onchain U.S. Treasuries, Backed Finance’s tokenized equities listed on Kraken, and Ondo Finance integrating BNB Chain into its Global Markets platform.
This growth was fueled by the RWA Incentive Program, a catalyst driving further adoption of real-world assets on BNB Chain.
Builder Support
BNB Chain has actively supported over 200 projects through the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) program. The MVB program recently expanded into a 10-week global residency, while the latest BNB Hackathon recognized 9 winners and 50 honorable mentions across various fields including AI, DeFi, DePIN, and DeSoc.
The Builder Bunker opened as a dedicated space for developers and founders to collaborate and scale their projects.
Community Growth
BNB Chain’s community has expanded beyond its borders with over 4 million followers in more than 100 countries. The BNB Chain Annual Awards recognized ecosystem leaders, while the Martians Program empowered members to contribute to wider adoption globally.
Roadmap Ahead
Looking ahead, BNB Chain is set for further evolution:
– The chain will enhance capacity with expanded gas limits to 10G, supporting up to 5,000 DEX swaps per second.
– The network aims to achieve ultra-fast finality under 150ms and a throughput of 20,000 TPS.
– Security will be strengthened with seamless authentication, key rotation, and native multi-sig support.
These upgrades will pave the way for the development of cutting-edge decentralized applications across DeFi, gaming, AI, and beyond.
