  • Episode 12: A Twist on ״Ethereum Killers״: Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain

    With Ethereum gas and transaction prices sky-rocketing, many alternatives are popping-up.  Today we will take a look at two interesting ones provided by the world-leading-exchange, Binance.


    Binance Chain is the original blockchain developed by Binance.  It provides fast transactions, token management, and some smart-contract functionality, but limited appeal.  It's younger sister, Binance Smart Chain, is more interesting, with 100% Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility and a quickly-growing ecosystem.
