The evolution of the internet is accelerating toward a decentralized future—Web3. At the heart of this transformation lies a critical need: robust, scalable, and user-friendly infrastructure. BNB Chain is stepping forward as a leading force in shaping this new digital era, unveiling its comprehensive vision under the banner of One BNB—a unified ecosystem integrating BNB Smart Chain (BSC), opBNB, and BNB Greenfield.
This strategic blueprint positions BNB Chain not just as a blockchain network, but as a full-stack Web3 infrastructure designed to onboard the next billion users. Built on principles of openness, decentralization, permissionless innovation, and multi-chain interoperability, the ecosystem empowers developers, creators, and users alike.
The Pillars of One BNB: BSC, opBNB, and Greenfield
BNB Chain’s architecture rests on three core components, each serving a distinct yet interconnected role in advancing Web3 adoption.
🔗 BNB Smart Chain (BSC): The Foundation
As one of the most widely adopted Layer-1 blockchains, BSC continues to demonstrate strong performance and resilience. In 2023, it processed up to 32 million transactions in a single day, reaching a peak throughput of 2,000 transactions per second (TPS).
Key achievements:
- Gas fees burned increased by 21% from Q3 to Q4 2023—a key indicator of network activity.
- Daily transaction volume grew by 35% year-over-year.
- DeFi TVL peaked at $4.6 billion, with a quarterly growth rate of 33%.
To support continued growth, BSC has raised its gas limit to 140 million, surpassing Ethereum’s capacity by 4.6x. Looking ahead, 2024 will focus on state and storage optimization and the implementation of parallel EVM, enabling concurrent smart contract execution for even greater efficiency.

⚡ opBNB: Scaling the Future
Launched in September 2023, opBNB is BNB Chain’s Layer-2 scaling solution designed for high-frequency applications. It delivers ultra-low fees and massive throughput—processing 71 million transactions in one day and achieving 4,500 TPS in Q4 2023.
With a clear roadmap for 2024, opBNB aims to:
- Double its gas limit to 200 million per second.
- Achieve a target throughput of 10,000 TPS, making it the highest-capacity L2 solution.
- Reduce transaction costs by 5–10x through integration with Greenfield’s data availability layer.
opBNB is ideal for:
- High-frequency DeFi (HFD) platforms
- Perpetual contracts and prediction markets
- Real-time payments and social trading
- On-chain gaming with complex logic
Projects like Hooked Protocol already leverage opBNB for gas-sensitive operations while maintaining asset security on BSC—showcasing the power of a multi-layered ecosystem.
🌐 BNB Greenfield: Redefining Data Ownership
Launched in October 2023, BNB Greenfield introduces a revolutionary approach to decentralized data management. It merges blockchain with decentralized storage, giving users full ownership, control, and monetization rights over their data.
Unlike traditional cloud storage, Greenfield ensures:
- Data is stored off-chain but secured and verified on-chain.
- Users grant or revoke access via smart contracts.
- Data can be directly integrated into DeFi, AI, and social applications.
Greenfield is emerging as a foundational layer for:
- Decentralized AI models requiring secure data input
- Creator economies where content ownership is paramount
- DeSoc (Decentralized Social) platforms enabling user-controlled identities
In 2024, the Greenfield team will focus on:
- Performance enhancements
- Improved developer tools
- Efficient data retrieval systems
- Off-chain general computation
- Multi-chain compatibility
opBNB Connect: Building Interoperable Layer-2 Ecosystems
Recognizing that some projects—especially in gaming, DePIN, and DeSoc—require customized environments, BNB Chain introduced opBNB Connect.
This framework enables developers to build their own L2s on top of opBNB with:
- Shared or decentralized sequencers
- Custom gas tokens
- Permissionless bridges between chains
Rather than just transferring assets, opBNB Connect allows for direct composability between protocols across different L2s—unlocking new possibilities for cross-chain collaboration and innovation.
Strategic Focus Areas for 2024
Aligned with the One BNB vision, BNB Chain is doubling down on five key innovation fronts:
1. High-Frequency DeFi (HFD)
With opBNB’s scalability, HFD applications can execute thousands of trades per second at minimal cost. Supported by stablecoins like FDUSD, this opens doors for:
- Algorithmic trading bots
- Real-time derivatives markets
- Social trading platforms
2. Full-Chain Gaming
Combining opBNB’s speed and Greenfield’s data ownership model, BNB Chain enables truly on-chain games where:
- Game logic runs on opBNB
- Assets are managed on BSC
- Player data and content reside securely on Greenfield
This holistic approach ensures transparency, fairness, and true digital ownership.
3. AI Meets Web3
The convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain is gaining momentum. BNB Chain supports AI projects like QnA3, providing infrastructure for:
- Decentralized AI model training
- Secure data storage via Greenfield
- Tokenized incentives for data contributors

4. DePIN: Decentralized Physical Infrastructure
DePIN projects leverage real-world resources—like computing power, sensors, or networks—powered by token incentives. BNB Chain supports DePIN through:
- L1/L2 for financial settlement
- Dedicated L2s for complex operations
- Greenfield for secure data handling
Use cases include decentralized maps, GPU sharing networks, and privacy-preserving data collection.
5. Decentralized Social (DeSoc)
DeSoc empowers users to own their social graphs, content, and reputation. Greenfield’s architecture is tailor-made for this revolution—enabling platforms where:
- Users control who accesses their data
- Content creators earn directly from engagement
- Communities govern themselves via DAOs
