Binance removes its name from its blockchain

The blockchain ecosystem, previously known as Binance Smart Chain, has now been renamed BNB Chain, and the token BNB, formerly known as Binance Coin, has now been renamed Build and Build. The announcement comes a week after Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao tweeted that BNB stands for "Build'N Build," meaning build the community and let the community build.

Removing the Binance name will give BNB Chain "more opportunities and freedom to seek innovations," the company said. BNB Chain will also become multi-chain, it added. Along with the name change, Binance has also developed a new concept called MetaFi - a combination of meta (metadata) and Fi (DeFi). With MetaFi, the BNB Chain community aims to build infrastructure for various projects, including GameFi, SocialFi, Web3, and NFTs, under one roof.

BNB chain has often been criticized for its centralization

Binance has invested more than $1 billion in supporting the BSC ecosystem, which competes with the Ethereum network and other Layer 1 blockchains. However, over time, the network has been criticized for being too centralized, with many exploits and scams taking place in the ecosystem. One of the most notable exploits was Bunny Finance, which was exploited multiple times. In response to these concerns, BNB Chain will also increase the number of validators on BSC from 21 to 41, but it remains to be seen whether this will convince critics to use it.

The BNB Chain will be made up of two parts: BNB Beacon Chain, previously Binance Chain, and BNB Smart Chain, formerly BSC. BSC is compatible with Ethereum’s virtual machine, where smart contracts are executed, and serves as a hub to access other blockchains.

Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
