Binance Coin Network Upgrade Scheduled

New York, March 23, 2023

Binance Coin (BNB), the native token of the Binance exchange, has announced a live upgrade to its wallet network infrastructure. The upgrade is scheduled to commence at 08:00 UTC on March 27th.

The upgrade aims to enhance the network's performance, stability, and security. During the upgrade, Binance will temporarily suspend withdrawals and deposits to ensure a seamless transition.

BNB serves multiple functions within the Binance ecosystem. It reduces trading fees on the Binance exchange, enables transaction fees on the BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain, and facilitates participation in token sales on Binance Launchpad.

Additionally, BNB can be utilized in games and decentralized applications (DApps) within the Binance Chain ecosystem. It also supports real-world applications, including online and in-store purchases, as well as travel bookings on platforms such as Travala.com.

Since the launch of the BNB Smart Chain in September 2020, BNB has adopted three forms:

• BNB BEP-2: Exists on the BNB Beacon Chain
• BNB BEP-20: Exists on the BNB Smart Chain
• BNB ERC-20: Exists on the Ethereum network

Binance encourages users to withdraw their BNB from third-party wallets before the upgrade. The exchange assures that all deposited BNB will remain safe and will be available for withdrawal once the upgrade is complete.

Users should refer to Binance's official announcement for further details and updates.
