What is BNB?
BNB is the native token of BNB Chain, created by Binance in a 2017 token sale. It pays gas on BNB Smart Chain and cuts trading fees on the Binance exchange. A quarterly auto-burn keeps shrinking supply toward a 100 million target.
Binance sold BNB in July 2017 as an ERC-20 token with a total supply of 200 million. It moved to Binance's own chain in 2019. BNB Smart Chain, the EVM network most people mean when they say BNB Chain, launched in 2020 and runs proof of staked authority with a small set of validators elected by stake. The Fermi upgrade in January 2026 cut block times to 0.45 seconds.
Supply only goes down. Part of every gas fee is burned as blocks are produced, and each quarter an auto-burn removes more, using a formula tied to BNB's price and the number of blocks. The July 2026 burn took out about 1.6 million BNB, leaving roughly 133 million. At that pace the 100 million target is still a few years off.
Much of the demand comes from Binance itself. Launchpool and airdrop programs reward BNB holders with new tokens, so buying tends to pick up before big listings.

Frequently asked questions
What is the BNB auto-burn?
It is a quarterly burn that permanently removes BNB until only 100 million remain. The amount comes from a formula based on BNB's price and the number of blocks produced on BNB Smart Chain that quarter, so it does not depend on Binance's profits.
Is BNB Chain the same as BNB Smart Chain?
Mostly. BNB Chain is the name for the whole ecosystem, and BNB Smart Chain (BSC) is its main EVM network, where the DeFi and memecoin trading happens. opBNB, a layer-2, and BNB Greenfield, a storage network, are part of BNB Chain too.
Can I track BNB without an account?
Yes. The BNB board on this page runs in your browser and saves on your device. Prices come from CoinGecko, and Binance fills in when CoinGecko does not answer. Cashboard does not read BNB wallets, so add your amount to a manual Portfolio and it is priced live.
