Key Insights from the ‘opBNB Journeys’ AMA Series



Blog post image.

opBNB has emerged as a high-performance Layer 2 scaling solution within the BNB Chain ecosystem. It is powered by the bedrock version of Optimism OP Stack, designed to offload transaction processing and resource usage from BNB Smart Chain (BSC) while still posting data to the underlying mainnet. 

Since its mainnet launch, the community have been actively exploring new use cases for opBNB, especially given its high performance and low costs.

Recently, we held a series of AMAs focused on opBNB to discuss the evolving landscapes of decentralized finance (DeFi), on-chain gaming, Web3, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Let’s dive into the key takeaways from each session.

Benefits of opBNB

opBNB introduces several benefits for both developers and users within the BNB Chain ecosystem. The utilization of the OP Stack further amplifies advantages for developers. Similarly, advancements made by opBNB can benefit the broader OP Stack codebase.

This L2 chain enhances transaction speed, surpassing previous BNB Smart Chain (BSC) limits, while retaining compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), a pivotal factor in its initial success. Notably, opBNB seamlessly integrates with BSC, allowing the utilization of ecosystem assets, such as BNB, directly on the opBNB chain.

Building Dynamic Infrastructure for Web3 with opBNB

The “Building Dynamic Infrastructure for Web3 with opBNB” session provided insights into the evolving blockchain technology landscape. Representatives from Binance Oracle, Polyhedra, and Element discussed the role of opBNB in enhancing the BNB Chain ecosystem, focusing on its lower gas fees and higher transaction throughput.

A major topic was the security and trustworthiness of solutions within the opBNB ecosystem. Each project shared their strategies for ensuring security, from on-chain trading protocols to multi-layered verification processes.

The discussion included examples of successful projects and use cases within the opBNB ecosystem, demonstrating the practical applications and benefits of the infrastructure and tools provided.
