However, when you own the BNB, paying those fees becomes simpler and more economical. Specifically, the offer each year will be partially cut until your 5th year of operations on Binance as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Year 1: 50% <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">off <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Year 2: 25% <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">off <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Year 3: 12.5% <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">off <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Year 4: 6.75% <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">off <\/span><\/li>\n<li>Year 5<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: End of the discount program<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be seen that if you enter the second year, you will get a 25% discount on transaction fees on Binance when you use BNB to trade. Binance&#8217;s transaction fee defaults to 0.1% (lower than most other major exchanges) and when you use BNB, it will only be 0.075%. Due to this incentive, BNB has always received the adoption of many investors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"section-4\">Detailed information about BNB coin<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"section-5\">Key Metrics BNB<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Ticker: <strong>BNB<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Blockchain: Binance Chain &amp; Binance Smart Chain.<\/li>\n<li>Consensus: Tendermint.<\/li>\n<li>Algorithm: Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT).<\/li>\n<li>Token Type: Utility.<\/li>\n<li>Block Time: 1 second.<\/li>\n<li>Initial Supply: 200,000,000 BNB.<\/li>\n<li>Total Supply: 163,232,785 BNB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>BNB Allocation<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3921\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3921\" style=\"width: 951px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3921 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wikibinance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Phan-phoi-BNB-coin.png\" alt=\"BNB Allocation\" width=\"951\" height=\"629\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BNB Allocation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Initially, the total supply of BNB coins was BNB 200,000,000 and distributed as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ICO: 50% &#8211; 100,000,000 BNB.<\/li>\n<li>Binance Team: 40% &#8211; 80,000,000 BNB.<\/li>\n<li>Angel Investors: 10% &#8211; 20,000,000 BNB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, Binance has <a href=\"https:\/\/ecoinomic.io\/en\/knowledge\/coins-burning.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coins burning<\/a> mechanism and will continue to burn in the future. Burning coins out of circulation will help BNB become more scarce that creates purchasing power and help stronger growth.<\/p>\n<h2>BNB burning mechanism<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Binance developers want to create a deflationary effect and increase the price of the BNB. The lower the supply, the more demand, making it even rarer and more difficult to compete for<strong> BNB<\/strong>. This will result in increasing the selling price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of mid-December, the Binance ecosystem has two parallel BNB burning mechanisms, namely:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"css-6hm6tl\" data-bn-type=\"text\">BNB Quarterly Burn<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This is the BNB burning mechanism derived from Binance&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/ecoinomic.io\/en\/knowledge\/terms\/whitepaper.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whitepaper<\/a>. Initially, the exchange will use 20% of its quarterly profits to acquire BNB from the market and burn them down. However, BNB burn is owned by Binance&#8217;s team based on trading volume, rather than acquiring BNB from the market anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, both pledged to burn the BNB so that the total supply of the currency decreased by 50% to only 100 million BNB. The last quarterly BNB burning was in mid-October, incinerating BNB 1.3 million with a value of $639 million.<\/p>\n<h4>Bep-95 mechanism<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the real-time BNB burning mechanism from the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) transaction fees that is introduced in November 2021, with a sintering limit of 10% of the gas fee of a BSC block. BEP-95 will continue to burn tokens even after it has passed the BNB 100 million threshold of BNB quarterly burn. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to statistics, Binance Smart Chain is <\/span>burning up to 860 BNB every day<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thanks to BEP-95.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New mechanism &#8211; <\/span> BNB Auto-Burn &#8211; will replace for quarterly burns with immediate effect. Binance&#8217;s reason for the adoption of the new burning mechanism is to add transparency and predictability to the BNB community. In addition, from now on, BNB Auto-Burn will no longer depend on the revenue\/volume of transactions on Binance.<\/p>\n<p>The new quarterly BNB burning formula will be:<\/p>\n<p><b>B = <\/b><strong>(N x 1000) \/ (P + K)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>B<\/strong>: the number of BNBs burned<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>N<\/strong>: the number of BSC blocks formed during quarter, average estimate of 2,592,000 blocks\/quarter<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>P<\/strong>: the average BNB price<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>K<\/strong>: the constant price anchor, originally set at 1000, but may vary according to the will of the BSC community<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The potential of BNB<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BNB has a steadily growing value over time, which leads to the price stability of the coin. Investors will feel more secure when market fluctuates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides, BNB is considered the &#8220;trump card&#8221; of the entire Binance ecosystem. Therefore, the development of Binance Coin and Binance will be proportional to each other. As the leading exchanges all around the world, Binance has been growing bigger and stronger. This further clarifies the potential of Binance coin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What exchanges can BNB be traded on?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users can conduct <strong>BNB<\/strong> transactions on exchanges such as Binance, Gate.io, LBank, Bithumb, <a href=\"https:\/\/ecoinomic.io\/en\/knowledge\/guide\/kucoin-sign-up-guide-2022.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KuCoin<\/a>, BitMart, CoinEx, Poloniex, WOO network, Coinsbit, <a href=\"https:\/\/ecoinomic.io\/en\/knowledge\/guide\/ftx-sign-up-for-beginners.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FTX<\/a>, Tokpie,&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What types of BNB wallets are safe?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are quite a few wallets that support the safe storage of Binance coins such as Coin98 online wallet, Online Trust wallet, Coinbase online wallet, Ledger Nano S\/X <a href=\"https:\/\/ecoinomic.io\/en\/knowledge\/cold-wallet-hot-wallet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hot wallet<\/a>,&#8230; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wikibinance.com\/en\/knowledge\/trust-wallet.html\">Trust Wallet<\/a> is an official decentralized\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wikibinance.com\/en\/knowledge\/what-is-a-cryptocurrency-wallet.html\">cryptocurrency wallet<\/a> of Binance that supports a variety of cryptocurrencies.
