BNB Chain’s Struggle: Where’s Binance’s Support?

Binance-backed BNB chain has come under intense scrutiny from market observers for its lack of adoption despite being associated with the leading crypto exchange. In comparison to Ethereum, the BNB chain lacks real hodlers. One of the key issues plaguing the chain is centralization, the reason why meme coins in the network are struggling to attract users.

Its competitive advantage of being a low-cost chain has been unsuccessful in driving adoption. In contrast, other chains with relatively higher transaction fees have successfully onboarded many meme projects to target major exchanges. At present, market analysts believe that BNB Chain has been unable to chart similar success.

Amidst the criticism, market analysts have suggested that BNB Chain’s association with Binance should be leveraged more effectively to boost the adoption of meme coins. Memecoins offer a significant opportunity for any blockchain to attract more users, and Solana has capitalized on this potential. Despite Binance’s substantial influence, experts slammed the exchange for not actively supporting BNB projects.

Others speculate a conflict of interest between the two key platforms. This disconnect between BNB Chain’s marketing strategies and Binance’s actual support may hinder the chain’s growth and user adoption. The analyst believes that if the two crypto platforms can resolve these issues and provide genuine support for meme coins and other projects, it could greatly enhance the Binance-backed chain’s appeal and utility.

Without the real support of Binance, the future of BNB Chain’s adoption and its role in the broader crypto ecosystem remains uncertain. Addressing these issues could unlock significant opportunities for the chain and its user base.

BNB Hard Fork

The other day, the highly-anticipated Haber hard fork went live, touted to bring a massive 90% reduction in gas fees. Inspired by Ethereum’s EIP 4844, the major update introduced BEP 336, which optimizes data storage and processing on the blockchain, significantly slashing transaction costs and enhancing network performance. 

Additionally, the upgrade is set to transform its decentralized storage and data platform within the Binance-backed ecosystem. It is also supposed to optimize large-scale data storage for Layer 2 blockchains and decentralized applications [Dapps].
