Frequently asked questions about BNB
Is BNB on BNB Chain the same as BNB on Binance Exchange?
Exchange balances are custodial IOUs. Allblu settles on-chain BNB on BNB Smart Chain to a wallet you control.
What address format should I use?
Provide a standard BNB Smart Chain address (0x format). It is EVM-compatible and works with MetaMask set to BSC.
Can I swap ETH to BNB?
Yes. Cross-chain routes deliver native BNB with the expected amount and timing shown in your quote.
Do I need BNB to move BEP-20 tokens?
Yes. BNB pays gas for BEP-20 transfers and contract calls, so keep a small BNB reserve after swapping.
How is BNB Chain related to Ethereum?
BNB Smart Chain is a separate EVM chain with its own validators and native BNB gas token. Assets are not interchangeable without bridging or swapping.
What DeFi apps run on BNB Chain?
PancakeSwap, Venus, and other BSC-native protocols use BNB for gas and list BEP-20 pairs across one of the largest retail DeFi ecosystems.
Why is BNB Chain popular for trading?
Low fees and fast block times make BSC attractive for DEX trading, yield farming, and everyday on-chain activity compared to Ethereum mainnet.
