Binance smart chain promises cheaper and faster transactions
One significant edge that the Binance smart chain has over the Ethereum blockchain is that it provides the client with cheaper and faster transactions. The Binance smart chain is also compatible with the Ethereum virtual machine, which means that developers can easily transition from Ethereum blockchain.
However, the Binance smart chain is a little bit disadvantaged when it comes to decentralization as it makes use of 21 nodes to validate transactions. Due to this slight disadvantage, the smart chain can carry out transactions seamlessly.
Binance is trying to make its mark in the decentralized finance sector through the establishment of the Binance smart chain, it is still dominating significant centralized digital assets investments across the world. Binance announced that it accumulated a spot volume of $2.02 billion in spot trading volume in the space of 24 hours.
This success is little compared to what Binance Futures recorded as witnessed a 24-hour trading volume of $4.17 billion. Binance also said that Token Canal, its new project will allow developers to connect the Binance smart chain to other blockchains.
