Today marks BNB Chain’s 3rd anniversary and we’re welcoming the community to celebrate this milestone with us.
As we celebrate BNB Chain’s 3rd anniversary, we also want to reflect on how far we – the whole Web3 community – has come. In a few short years, the industry has witnessed many highs, many lows and everything in between. However, what’s remained constant is the resilience, grit, passion and perseverance of the community. Whether there is a bull or a bear market, the continuous building and innovation has laid the foundation for an exciting Web3 future.
To mark the occasion, we wanted to pay homage to the collective efforts and accomplishments of our users, developers, projects, and enthusiasts who have contributed to the growth of both BNB Chain and the wider Web3 community.
A note from V, Chief Scientist at BNB Chain:
“BNB Chain is a flourishing decentralized blockchain and thanks to the community, has seen tremendous growth over these past 3 years. The recent release of its quarterly Web3 industry report showed that it dominated Q2 with an average market share of 46.5% for total Verified Smart Contracts.
It also demonstrated the growth across multiple blockchains, proving that even during a bear market, the industry focus remains on building. […]I look forward to being a part of the continued growth of BNB Chain as it contributes to the development and adoption of blockchain.”
