Prominent web3 blockchains are all looking to the future to scale their own capabilities, provide new and more accessible opportunities for builders and lower the transactional cost barriers for everyday DeFi users. With opBNB, the on-chain possibilities for scaling and onboarding are almost infinite and OpenOcean is here to help propel the network forward **by launching our highly capital-efficient aggregation services on opBNB and building out an optimistic trade routing powerhouse.
From BNB Chain to opBNB: BNB chain (formerly Binance Smart Chain) was created by the 2022 merger of Binance Chain, which handled staking and governance, and BNB Smart Chain, an Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform started by CZ of Binance. Today, BNB chain is one of the most used blockchains in crypto, recently recording almost 3 million daily transactions and more than 1.4 million contracts in recent days. BNB chain is consistently placed in the top 3 for TVL, active users, unique protocols and 24hr/volume.
Supporting opBNB: Gas fees on most L1’s are still too expensive for a lot of games and DeFi applications. A single game with 1 million daily active users could spend thousands of BNB on gas fees during peak periods. By reducing fees, the new EVM friendly network will ultimately help foster innovation and improve cross-platform and cross-chain composability, opening up the doors for innovative products to change our fundamental experience. With opBNB, Transaction rates of over 4,000ps are easily possible, with improved speed and efficiency for all users. The optimistic stack allows **opBNB to reduce gas fees by over 90% **based on gas prices of $0.005 for opBNB and $0.084 on BNB chain recorded on 14th September, 23.
“Scalability and security are the top priorities of opBNB… before opening the mainnet to the public, stringent criteria had to be met. High Availability (HA), 4K Transactions Per Second (TPS), rigorous stress testing, reduced gas costs under 0.2 gwei, fast finality under 1 second, and enhanced security with multiple external audits.”
Arno Bauer — Digital Innovation and Project Manager, BNB chain
