The BNB Chain blockchain ecosystem is about to faucet into Optimism’s rollup know-how powering its newly launched opBNB layer 2 scaling platform.
BNB Chain introduced the general public mainnet launch of its Ethereum Digital Machine (EVM) suitable L2, which delivers decrease gasoline charges and sooner transactions to decentralized functions working throughout the ecosystem.
The opBNB platform reportedly dealt with over 35 million on-chain transactions and noticed greater than 150 DApps deployed on its testnet. BNB Chain additionally declare that the platform achieved a peak of 4,000 transactions per second throughout a stress take a look at of its capabilities.

BNB Chain senior resolution architect Arno Bauer highlighted scalability and safety as high priorities for the scaling resolution whereas assembly stringent standards:
“This included excessive availability, 4K transactions per second, rigorous stress testing, diminished gasoline prices beneath 0.2 gwei, quick finality beneath 1 second and enhanced safety with a number of exterior audits.”
As Cointelegraph beforehand reported, opBNB is predicated on the Optimism OP Stack and is EVM suitable, permitting it to work together with Ethereum-based sensible contracts, networks and ERC-20 token requirements.
This resolution makes use of optimistic rollups to scale transactions by assuming that transaction knowledge that has been confirmed off-chain is legitimate till confirmed in any other case. The know-how has been vital in serving to the Ethereum community scale, however critics spotlight the week-long lockup of funds in these protocols whereas validation checks are processed.
Optimism has seen vital progress in day by day transaction volumes processed and an growing variety of lively day by day addresses, suggesting that the layer 2 resolution continues to supply worth to customers and DApps.
Quite a lot of main decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols have additionally deployed on Optimism to harness its scaling capabilities. This consists of the likes Uniswap, Aave, 1inch Community, SushiSwap and Curve Finance.
Cointelegraph has reached out to BNB Chain to establish additional particulars of opBNB’s growth and different scaling options which will have been thought of by the ecosystem.
