BNB is a native cryptocurrency for Binance exchange and BNB Chain ecosystem.

BNB is a cryptocurrency created by Binance Exchange in 2017. Binance, which quickly became the top cryptocurrency exchange by trade volume, launched BNB as a utility token for its platform.

Binance plans to launch its Solana staking product in September

Solana is a high performance, PoS based smart contract platform.

In addition to its key features of scalability and high transaction speed, Solana also offers low transaction fees. As validators are paid in SOL tokens for processing transactions, there is less of a need for high transaction fees to incentivize them. This makes Solana an attractive option for developers and users who want to transact quickly and cheaply.

Solana also supports smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) through its programming language, Rust. Developers can build on Solana using Rust, which is a popular and efficient language for system-level programming. Solana’s smart contract platform is called Solana Program Library (SPL), which enables developers to create and deploy custom tokens, NFTs, and other digital assets.

Solana’s architecture also includes a feature called Cloudbreak, which enables the network to automatically scale up or down based on demand. This means that as more transactions are processed on the network, the system can automatically add more validators to handle the increased load.

Overall, Solana aims to provide a fast, secure, and decentralized blockchain platform that can support a wide range of digital assets and applications. Its unique combination of Proof of History and Proof of Stake has allowed it to achieve high transaction speeds without sacrificing security or decentralization. With its low fees and support for smart contracts, Solana is positioning itself as a strong contender in the growing decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
